It's absolutely historical revisionism to imply any variant of MiG-29 was ever intended to not be equipped with R-73s. Take the R-27Es from the early models that never used them and give them the R-73s they had from the day they entered service. It's not hard.
don't lie gaijin. Mig29 was made to use r73s by default. r60s were place holders and training missiles. also rip butchered mig29. that airframe nerf was uncalled for
Unpopular opinion: The Mig-29 (9-13) should have the R-73 AAM and an ability to carry 2 drop tanks instead of one to maintain realism and playability. The R-60M on 12.0 is subpar, and the regular R-60s are plainly unplayable. Also, once EW systems are implemented into the game, I can't wait to try out the "Gardeniya" EW system, which it had recieved irl. Popular opinion: Great video!)
@@theallmightyego6756 Yes, it's very similar to it, since the Mig-29G is roughly a 9-12 brought to the standard of the 9-13. I will need to check the exact differences (the ones that matter in-game) between these two later. Also I'm not sure, but I think the irl Mig-29G was somewhat compatible with NATO weaponry, so if that's true, it would make a unique aircraft (when it comes to weapon setups).
@@placeholder7213 Yeah obviously. Honestly a missed chance to improve on these aircrafts, especially the Yak-141, since it was a test bed, And according to the Yakovlev design bureau it used the R-77, R73, R-27 and the Kh-25 , Kh-31 and Kh-35. Honestly if the US mains would stop crying "russian bias" maybe gaijin would improve the Yak-141 and MiG-29 and The Su-27. But I guess gaijin listens to the people who scream the loudest and have the bigger wallets aka US mains
I think it was unnecessarily nerfed into the ground. The Mig 29 loses some much speed in turns that it can now only barely outrate a Su25. It’s quite pathetic. The F16 could easily clean up Mig29’s even before that nerf but after it, they might as well be phantoms.
The mig 29-9-13 I think is my favourite especially since it’s the first you unlock I’m pretty sure also because of that it just gives you that feeling of pride that people seek
The MiG-29SMT, an upgraded version of the MiG-29, stands out as my favorite due to its advanced avionics, enhanced weaponry, and superior performance. With optimal maneuverability, heightened awareness, and increased speed, it surpasses its predecessor, carrying a heavier payload and showcasing engineering excellence in aerial warfare.
This fighter jet, the MiG-29SMT is still being my current dream, i still didnt grind the mig-9 yet but i am sure, if i will belive in my self, i will get my dream as soon as, possible.
As a man who has put many hours in this game. Perhaps adding a missile lock system for IR track should be added. that way we don't have to spam flares constenetly
Qs for the shooting range hotline: Can you add the Iranian Safir-74 tank or the Consolidated B-32 Devastator (the B-32 is pretty much a liberator) or the Northrop XB-35/YB-49 or the North American B-45 Tornado or the Convair B-36 or even another turboprop aircraft the Tupolev Tu-95 "Bear"? And you could technically add the An-12 because it has that rear turret How do you choose which vehicles to add to nations?
everything is fine, but do you have plans to add the MiG 29 9-12 to the USSR and why would you do it because the 9-13 version does not have R-73 missiles, and the German 9-12G has R-73, but not the standard ones anymore. supposedly for ballast? and please reply
3:34 „R-73 Flare resistent Missile“? Where the f*ck is it Flare Resistent? It goes after the first flare it sees, so does the 27ET. I never had even one of my 73‘s hit in rear aspect when an enemy flared even with Afterburner on.
honestly we don't need any new techtrees. Most players only get to finish 1 or 2 techtrees so adding another will take away completed lineups from different nations and just add more grind IMO.
Spam flares in a flower pattern and move away These missiles and some air to air missile work by shrinking their FOV to really really small meaning that the closer it is the better flare resistance it gets because it's FOV is so small it will basically only see the engine heat and the flares fired will NOT get inside that small FOV... So just spam flares in a flower / star pattern ... make a cloud of flares and get away lol that's the best thing you can do... preferably while turning off the afterburner lol
@@Bagelpanzer no but yes Aim-9M works like a stinger... it sees a flare and shuts off the seeker for uhh unknown about of time maybe a split second and while it's off it travels by inertial guidance... So you turn... flare... then turn away into a different direction because while flares are present the missile is literally blind because seeker is OFF
One of the most brutal aircrafts and thanks to war thunder to represent my country Algeria with mig 29 SMT in this video.Also you need to add mig25 and t90sa, Eurofighter typhoon...
Eurofighter should still be a few updates away(I’d guess at least a year, the F16 entered service in 1978, the F15 in 1976, the SU27 in 1984 and the Mig 29 in 1983. The Eurofighter entered service in 2003. It’s technically still a 4th gen fighter but it’s still at least 20 years newer than the most modern aircraft in game
@@harrisonrawlinson5650 maybe ,but like the mig25 first flight was in 1964 and entered service in 1972 ,t90sa also which is an export version of t90 in 2011
Kann ich so nicht unterschreiben, das die SMT ungeeignet für Dogfights ist. Mit Nachbrenner, Klappen und Luftbremse ist sie zum Beispiel der F16 immernoch gefährlich, besonders durch die R73 die man über die Nase heraus abfeuern kann. Also an die Anfänger keine soge das ist es auf jeden Fall wert! :D
It's not actually THE Best MiG-29G is a standard export MiG-29 (9.12A) but with a NATO standard avionics and cockpit Compare that to the Russian MiG-29SMT which has way better radar and should even have R-77 missile which is Fox 3 / ARH SMT is better however the flight perfomance is not because it's MUCH heavier So MiG-29G is only actually better for like Air RB meta but in simulator SMT has a lot more advantage Basically the same thing i just said applies to MiG-29 (9.12A) first german and Russian MiG-29 (9.13) ... the Russian one is again heavier but NOT by a whole lot and they are quite similar almost unnoticeable difference However the Russian 9.13 should be having the ECM Jammer thing which is not modelled ingame so when it does come the Russian one will be better then the German one Not to mention all MiG-29's we got ingame should be having R-73's but the early ones don't because balance reasons lol

@@LifeOfExoThe version of the SMT in game is the worst of them all. It's an Export model made for Algeria, that got rejected and returned to Russia. As far as I remember the SMTs meant for Russia did have better engines, but the one we have is an export model.
Fun because I am literally gonna unlock the MiG-29 today. Not looking forward to another top tier stock grind after doing it 4 times for U.S(soon a 5th for U.S and 7th overall.... jeez...)
Well wouldn't it be nice to have their standard service missile instead of being arbitrarily hamstrung by gaijin into using trainer missiles only. Mig29 was designed to use the r73 from the beginning, it's the whole point of the HMD - to use it with r73 for HOBS shots in dogfights. Makes me mad to see what they did with the German 29, its literally the exact same plane irl just refitted with some NATO avionics along with switch over to imperial instead of metric - never got any new weapons. Gaijin should give the ER/ET and archer to 9.12 & 9.13 and throw the SMT and mig29G foldered under them. They already abandoned reality by giving the German mig's E variant 27's and r73's anyway cause there is no documentation at all showing that they ever received them so it's a non issue
Hello. This is day 1 of asking for you to add the F4U-5 to the game. Would be a wonderful addition to the American naval aviation tree. Thanks for reading!
Hello Snail HQ, I wanted to ask if you could putt WT Mobile on the Switch, because World of Tanks Blitz is also on the Switch and I don’t think you want your biggest rival to win on the Switchmarked. I know you may not reed this at the first time so I will ask you under each of your videos until you make it happen! Today is Day 48!
Give the MiG-29 9.12 and 9.13 R-73s already. Make em SLIGHTLY less flare resistant and give the F-4E the Aim-9L and nobody will complain. The MiG-21 has access to the R-60M, a relatively comparable missile. The 29 in a down-tier should be like a 262 fighting a 5.3 prop fighter.
I have all 4 variants of the mig 29s in WT. I love them. It's unfortunate Gaijin decided to nerf their flight performance in the last update.
