Its not. this is just an issue with gaijins incompetence they dont know how to actually model energy retention properly all they do is keep adding more and more drag till it hits the desired affect this is why the Su-27 which is also artificially nerfed in the same way as the Mig-29 when it comes to the sustained bleeds all of its energy so quickly its the ridiculous amount of drag its given.

Its not a prediction this was done with east german Mig-29 directly after the collapse if you spent more than 5s reading you’d figure that out

no. it is before collapse
document dated 1988
collapse was 1990-1991
The testing occured between Mig-29G and F-16A post collapse
in 1988 collapse didnt occured
it was later by few years.
Well it quite literally happened post collapse so it was post 91 when it happened indont know what you’re getting at because the Mig-29 testing is public information that occured between germany and the US
lul?
you cant read your own document?)))
It makes no sense for a “fighter” aircraft to be artificially relegated to the role of missile bus due to artificial flight performance reduction and fictional loadouts.

Beyond these issues there’s Gaijin’s awful decision to downtier many top aircraft, not only compressing BRs but also essentially uptiering the MiG-29s, which didn’t move.
I’ll also link a couple related topics:
R27ers/ets remove any semblance of balance from an aircraft. I could give my hunter 2 of them and it would have to be 11.7 minimum, even without flares. By removing them and fixing the fm with r73s it would then become the formidable dog fighter its meant to be (a bit like the french f16 with 9ms).
Also, didnt know the mig 29g could get a better rwr, sounds like it needs it fucking asap as what are they doing not giving it a vital piece of kit its meant to have?
Although i will say, its more gaijins spaghetti code fcking us over at this point and its shown painfully clear with the new tornado fm. We cant even be given more thrust (asking for war power for an extra 5% thrust) as apparently it would cause all the work to go out of whack… If drag, thrust, lift and general fm is so closely related i think the game is in major need of a revamp. I mean were still using an engine made for props to simulate supersonic. If anything we need a war thunder 2.

You do realise you are all around just wrong right?
First off that document is from 1988
Secondly, the encounter you are referring to here:
Its not a prediction this was done with east german Mig-29 directly after the collapse
Did not happen right after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it happened in 1995, that incident occured between the 510th Fighter Squadron (FS) “Buzzards” belonging to the 31st Fighter Wing (FW) from Aviano Air Base in northern Italy, and they flew against the Luftwaffe Jagdgeschwader 73 (JG 73) MiG-29s.
Agree on this 100% it’s actually ridiculous that gaijin still hasn’t unnerfed the MiG-29 after so many years.
Hi id like to know what sources state that the MiG 29G had a NATO RWR
the 29g never had any rwr other than spo-15lm
please give us R-73s mr snail, R-60Ms are practically just under wing decoration at this point at 12.7

Same as any other non-IRCCM missile at such br…
not really, aim 9Ls and python 3s are still plenty usable, as well as being miles better tha R60Ms

Unless enemy lacks any braincells&eyes - maybe.
Outside of that useless, same as for 60M.
Again they’re still plenty usable, and even if they worked only against clueless enemies, they’re still much superior to R60s
atleast the other non IRCCM missiles at the same brs can hit something outside 2km aswell like the 9L and python, R60M has trash flare resistance, non existent range and trash acceleration in combination with short burn time
