I partially agree.
Currently German MiG-29G with R-73s and R-27ERs sits at 13.0 and makes the F-16A ADF look like a joke.
Stop the bullshit, you don’t flight Mig29 !!! Show me a video of you on the Mig29G on SB making the F-16A ADF a joke …
Even an F-16A is aware of all the Mig29 that are close thanks to it’s RWR, Mig29G are quite clueles, F-16A can easily stealth kill a Mig29G
MiG-29G has TWS, 90 degrees gimble limit HMS, a 40G thrust vectoring IR missile with IRCCM, and THE best SARH missile in the game.
F-16A ADF has a better flight model and RWR…
You should bu the Ali Express PS5, and see what you get, impresive spec sheet, but doesn’t work !!!
Play the Mig-29G and discover how crapy is the radar !!!
HMS and R-73 are good, but F-16 FM is much supperior.
Overal F-16A is better than Mig29 and Mig-29G …
Why is everyone playing USA if Mig29 are OP !!! Nobody is playing Mig29 because it’s crap, and all matches in SB are outnumbered against Mig29
Yak-141 is just one of those aircraft that wasn’t needed and still isn’t really. Either they remove the R-27E’s and move it down to 12.0 or they give it R-77 and R-73 and move it up to 13.7. it’s got a lot of good things going for it and right now it shouldn’t be lower than an F-16.
So AV-8B Plus 14.0, because AMRAAM are better than R-77, isn’t it !!!
You don’t even need to play, just join SB matches at 12.7 and 13.0 and you’ll see who’s dominating: F-16A, F-14B, M2K, AV-8B Plus, F-16AJ, F-16ADF, F-15A; M4K …
It should be 13.3 at the very least.
Everyone knows why USA is more popular than Russia at top tier. Their planes are famous, the best in real life and are featured in Hollywood. It has nothing to do with how good Russian planes are. Even if it was F-14 vs SU-57, people would still play the F-14.
Because they would pick a good aircraft over a fat and ugly aircraft.
No way, when they released the Mig29 it was very popular in War Thunder before they nerfed it, and buffed the F-16 …
But even if you were right, the BR of the Mig29 wouldn’t matter, since nobody plays it, people prefer for Team B the F-16AJ, F-16MLU, Mirage 2000, Mirage 4000, F-15J … so why moan about a plane is not being used.
5 of 12 planes in the screenshot you posted, are Mig 29.
I wouldn’t say that no one plays it.
Radar, RWR and cockpit visibility are so important, of course western planes are more popular and more comfortable to play
Yeah because downtiering a plane never brings more people to play it right?
Yes, and look at enemy team, twice as many players … not all are them, in blue team you had to scroll to see them all. So much more people are playing american F-16, F-15 and F-14.
In red team, there are much much more people that have Germany and Rusia, but china and japan have an importan representation in every match.
Many people having the Mig29 prefer not to fly it, even if they would balance the matches, they prefer to be in 2 vs 1 in team blue.
He hunted you too, I guess he found you were too cocky too XD
ADF for 13.0 too high，but the JA37D also too high for 12.0 , There is an issue with the flight control parameters of the aircraft.
On red team people are happy to fly the F-16 at 13.0, rather than the Mig-29G, mustn’t be so bad …
People really trying to say the MiG-29 or Su-27 are somehow popular or played in sim? Besides your screenshot there… when France is on redfor its always a bunch of Mirage 2Ks and F-16s as well…
F-16 with sparrows are fine at 13.0, but the problem is that they left a bunch of undertiered planes with similar or better performance, like the mig29’s. The radar missiles are orders of magnitude more useful now, and any plane that has a R-27ER is incredibly powerful in its own right.
Another problem is that top tier above 13.0 is still INCREDIBLY compressed and you have a bunch of things that have no business being in the same BR as your average f-16 ADF, like gipen A and the F-15A.
Top tier should be 14.7 at minimum
