This is not about proxy , R-73 misses the target completely without getting close enough for proxy sometimes. Goes random directions or spins out of control.
Everyone and their mother knows about the proxy bug by now. This is a different thing.
it did 180 at the end which is weird seems like a bug
This dude has the audacity to talk a bout Germany but he says stuff like that lmfao.
Y’know, not our fault Russia hasn’t been able to produce an MBT equivalent to the 2A6 and SEP until like 2020 - but hey, lets remove T-80BVM, lets see how he will react :p
We could optionally just straight up skip the F-4F ICE and add the Eurofigher Tranche 2 Blk 10 because that entered service around the same time as SMT :p
Ofc he will accept neither.

R-73s have been continually worked on ever since that infamous first dev for Apex Predators.
Afaik, getting TVC to work with flight instructor/FM has been something of a nuisance for Gaijin as evidenced by the R-73’s track record so far.
Bugged performance doesn’t mean it’s a bad missile.

IMO it’s an excellent missile, second only to the AIM-9M but that’s more’so due to R-73s erratic nature. Played around with it on the MiG-29G and noticed that its auto-pilot is dumb as hell, it also wobbles around a lot which is likely due to the aformentioned auto-pilot. Sometimes it also cannot decide what interception path it wants to take.
Other than that it is an excellent dogfighting missile, and when they fix the AP issue, it will likely take the first spot.
its funny that you have that screen shot
Yeah memeing is too much for a german whose head is stuck in a leopard 2. He does not have any other top tier jet yet when its the MIG-29G made for germans to stomp everyone he even GEs it in the dev server to try it while listening to erika.
Cope & seethe, mald even.

How about we buy R27 variants on the black market and gift it to germany so they can mount it on the Mig 29 in the Museum

It’s not going to stomp anything man. No idea why you are deciding to die on this hill.
Even if they reverse the 29 FM nerfs, it will still be second to F-16s in every realm aside from BVR.

It is 1200 KG lighter than SMT with the same loadout SMT is getting, tell me how it will not be the best in many scenarios. Oh definitely F-16C will still be king but this one actually may beat F-16C in good hands with the R-73 and on top of that the R-27ER on the best MIG-29 airframe. (Definitely not in Shadow Monarch’s hands whose entire top tier experience is in the German MIG-29 but calls others “xx mains”)
its not that much better i don’t know whats wrong with you
Minus all the A2G that the SMT gets.
You’re reaching so far you might pull out your shoulder mate.
I’m living rent free inside of your head it seems.
But hey, have this:

The 2 KH-29s are garbage anyways, costs 300 SP for 2 TV non IR guided missiles that miss half the time, when the F-16C gets like 10 AG ordnance for the same SP along with thermals. Also bruh you have no experience in the SMT, you have not even tried it, you do not know how garbage it is, stop talking like you know it.
Point still stands dude, if you think the 29G is OP over the SMT you would also think the F8F-1b is OP over the 1a.
compared to SMT 29G will be better in every relevant way, if you deny that you are clueless.

only in arb and slightly better
Better by like what, an A2A efficiency of like 10%?
Russia was never going to get the most nimble 29 model and it only gets worse from here. The MiG-29s only got updated RD-33s which featured an additional 7% thrust to counter the massive amounts of weight they put on.
