The vents near the leading edge of the wing root on the MiG-29 are there for unimproved airfield use. When they're open the main intakes are closed to help prevent ingestion of FOD.

[@TheScania1991]

It's only a matter of time now until we get stuff like the F15-A and even probably up to the Strike Eagle variant, maybe alongside that some SU27 variants of even the Su33. Also the Eurofighter and Rafale are probable now because the beginning of their respective dev cycles began in the late 80's.

Unless they're adding another one, they've yet again dropped the ball for Britain with the tornado. The one in the trailer is the CAS variant with only 2 ir missiles which simply can't compete top tier. They needed to add the f3 (Italy also used this one) which was overall improved with more power, better handling, better radar and better A2A loadout. As it stands Britain's best top tier fighters will still be the Phantoms and Harrier for another patch.

Exactly so fkin sick of this game give Britain an airframe with the same In game capabilities of the Jaguar Gr.1 None of the tornadoes incredible systems will be modelled and it will be forced to fight F-16 and MiG 29 they have really fked over Britain and Germany with this variant.
