Why is the Mig 29G still 13.0

Of course you cant have good games with it but its just that all games I play are a uptier. Also adding to its problem is lack of countermeasures wich are generally enough to flare off two missles and one active radar homing missle if youre lucky. Armament whise there really arent any major issues (it has one if not the best ir missle and the best radar missle in game) exept it doesnt have r77 or aim120s (Wich is good dont get me wrong). But this lack of countermeasures and constant uptiers is really making it difficult to enjoy the Plane.

What are your opinions on high - top tier planes with lack of armament and countermeasures (because there are many more planes with similar issues).

It’s almost completely a BR compression issue. It can’t go down or else it’ll force the 12.7 Mig-29s to 12.3, and that’s really unabalanced.

We just need 14.3, preferably 15.0+ for air rather than the 13.7 top tier we have now.

I agree, top tier really needs 14.0 or even 14.3. So planes like the mig can be enjoyable again.

Top tier needs to be fixed its boring. Its the same braindmelted (cookie) clicker **** since the addition of ARH. What is fun about it? You can play toptier with one hand and use the other for something else (don’t think of something weird)

Funny how the SMT is the same BR, and now the F-4F ICE is as well. Lmao

SMT is 13.3, Mig29G technically has same weapons as Su27, but less, which by the Gaijing logic is the same. I think that Mig29Gs as well as things like F16As are stuck in really awkward spots.

Yeah hopefully we get 14.0 aircraft in this update with another round of decompression to 14.3 some time in January.

Ah correct, I mixed of the SMT and 27S for which one was 13.0
Still funny.

Top tier has the highest skill ceiling in the game to me… it has the most advanced systems and metrics you must keep aware of and the skill comes from getting kills WITHOUT being a statistic yourself.

You haven’t… played top tier according to your record.

I played hours of top tier both in the IR meta and in the ARH and the IR meta was way more fun. Flaring IR missiles and taking care of the enemy that he cannot come close to you takes way more skill than pressing (fire Air to air missile) two times in TWS and pray that your chaffs works. I don’t want to say that the IR meta was better thats different from person to person but I can say out of my opinion that the addition of ARH was the worst addition and just a waste of hours of modelling new shiny planes.

There is no “praying your chaff works” when you are good at the game, you just notch the missile and move onto the next target. That’s the thing, I have never seen an actually good player complain about top tier’s gameplay besides them saying they don’t prefer it. I enjoy top tier because it rewards macro and micro positioning on top of having the most APM in the game.

I stop here befor we both get banned. I had such conversation with 100s of people already and I’m bored of this mindest. Have a nice day or week whatever.

I’m not getting banned over anything I’ve said here.

No, the MiG-29G is exactly where it should be. The problem is every other 13.0 except the F-14B and French/Israeli F-16s (and maybe a couple more that I’m forgetting) should be 13.3.
Plus the F-16s with SARH should be 13.0 as well.
Edit: aircraft I missed include anything with ARH except the ICE
