Would be better. I fear the day where we get something like a C&P Mig-29 in the TT instead of literally any of the outstanding native stuff.

I mean… Modern MiG-29s under India’s service would be insanely good. To the level of the SMT with better weaponry.
From what I know about the Mig-29K. it would be 100% identical to the 12.7 Mig-29s in game right now on the Soviet and German TTs. There would be no differences at all.
Even for the “better” Mig-29, just no, please no. Give it to the Soviets. When things like the Typhoon exist, why do we want something worse.
It’d run the RD-33MK which is the navalized RD-33 that would later become the primary RD-33 engine for all future Mig-29 variants.
But yeah, it’s “effectively” a 9.13 with better engines.
Could be added at any time, same with Mig-29M and Mig-35 since all their equivalents are in War Thunder now.
That only works if you know where to go in the first place.
MiG-29K would have better engines, the N010M[E], standoff A-G weaponry, a tgp, so on.
It’s nowhere near identical xD
Quite literally just a MiG-29M if we look at the 9-31 variant, or a VERY lightweight 9-41 that’s effectively the same thing.
Soviets could get the 9-41 or 9-47, whichever comes first doesn’t really matter as they’re effectively the same.
Gaijin has added the 16D-40 before the 16C-40, so I don’t see why the same wouldn’t happen to the MiG-29.
Still the point stands. I didnt grind out the British Tech tree for soviet aircraft.
If you want Mig-29s then grind Soviets, Germany or China
If you want Tornados, Harrier, Jaguars, Hawks, Typhoon, etc. Grind Britain.
The RD-33M was the primary engine for MiG-29s, the RD-33MK was developed off of it afterwards.
Not at all. It gets the same N010M as the 9-19… As the MiG-29K 9-31 was built directly off of the MiG-29M 9-15. It’s quite literally a better MiG-29SMT, as the MiG-29SMT we have in-game was a modernized variant of the MiG-29 9-13, whereas the MiG-29K 9-31 was built directly off of the MiG-29M.

It would be stupid as hell to put further Indian aircraft in the British tree. I’m entirely against Indian vehicles there in the first place, as it restricts a large majority of unique vehicles to British event vehicles / premiums… Take the T-90S and MiG-21 Bison for example, I’m not paying crap for those vehicles when they’re some of the most iconic Indian vehicles.
Indian tree when?
Yes, I agree. From what I know. There is enough to make a pretty decent tree on its own and Britain just doesnt need it. Im hoping that India in the British TT is just a step stone for that, like how Israel was in the US and Italy was in Germany
Both shouldnt have been added as they are.
their main advantage are being cracked ass IRCCM missiles with outstanding overall stats.
It has equal IRCCM to the Magic II or R-73, just has to be countered differently.
It has 100% identical stats to an Aim-9L, even down to the same lock ranges which are wrong. Lock ranges should be far higher than the Aim-9L
9M is always superior in my experience. R73 only kills you if you don’t know how to preflare at close range, magic 2 is also BS but much lower range.
If you are pre-flaring an Aim-9M then the flare rejection wont even let you lock on, let alone fire.

really delayed response but, I have questions and conerns if Gaijin takes the path of M1097 and SLAMRAAMs.
While SLAMRAAMS have 25km max range, I feel like Gaijin would intentionally have awful locking given the history of IR lock range we currently have, just look at stingers.
M1097 also needs external radar vehicles unless Gaijin goes the route of pitbulling. Which honestly, I don’t expect pitbulling to be that good but thats just my opinion.

Yeah same. There is IRL and then there is in-game which will be way worse
I feel like the best route for US SPAA would be the addition of HVSD/ADAMS (And Israel of course) since it was a joint project.
M1097 requires external radar, which we (Gaijin) hasn’t crossed that bridge yet.
Barak-1 Missiles are at least reasonable when compared to stuff like CAMM/IRIS-T/Python-5
I am not comparing the missiles directly in some sort of wank off in close range… I am saying the R73 is pitifully easy to flare outside of 1km and within it you jsut need to preflare
and Aim-9M is very easy to defeat at any range, you just need the right technique and pre-flaring prevents you from even firing an Aim-9M at any range.
Only time I would take Aim-9M over R-73/Magic II is in a situation where I can reliably ambush someone unaware in aircraft that can set-up such shots. Like in the Gripen or F3. Though even in the Gripen, I would take Magic IIs or R-73s for their strength in a dogfight
