Mother of all those players who dont even try to notch radar missile incoming signaled by their screaming rwr during 2 minutes.... Sad...

[@Hunter_i86]

It is not very expected in Ground RB, RWR warnings usually are by SAM in this mode. Also a lot of targets were drones .. it was a good session to understand and test the missile, the radar of the MiG is definitely not the best in my opinion, it needs to be like F-16 PD.

[@solid_fire9388]

@@Hunter_i86 indeed, the radar need to be a bit better from the current state it is…

[@cookiecracker2]

To be fair tho, this missile is incredibly fast. I mean he fired at a target 12km away and hit it 18 seconds. 18 seconds is just barely enough time to dive and evade. Sparrows can only dream of being that fast.

[@jetnavigator]

Most people don't know what that even means. It's not explained. There's no tutorial. A million key binds. Different vehicles have different radars and missiles. Life's too short.

[@blessthismessss]

@@cookiecracker2 yeah, I've had shots 22km+ off and it feels like the missile *still* accelerates after it's motor burns out, cuz it just hits them so much faster than I anticipate (even after having used R-24Rs, the previous fastest SARH)

[@Hunter_i86]

If MiG-29 radar stayed at its current state F-16 ADF is better at both medium and close ranges because Sparrow + F-16 PD feels much better than R-27ER + MiG-29 PD .. and AIM-9L is definitely better than R-60M as well. Thanks :)

Great video ! This video is like a tutorial for mig 29 R 27 :D. But the thnig is I think things change at GRB, because I easly lock and use sparrows with f4e in GRB but in ARB dont even carry them cuz of wasted radar. I wish to see this thing at ARB to how it reacts to flares or chafs or 90 degree sneak away...Overall this is better than R73 I think. 11:13 shows the strenght of 6Mac speed of this thing :D F16 also gets the sparrows too :D I guess top tier completed what do you think ?

[@homefront1999]

Can we get some top tier gameplay? But use the PO-2M and bomb all who refuse to bow down to the might of the mighty PO-2!

[@ale10903videos]

Nice shots! i think sometimes you are too easy on the throttle when doing bvr when you do have plenty of fuel. like in 10:10, felt like you should’ve gone full AB once you leveled off since you where slow. That could’ve been a 30km launch if you where going mach 1. Altitude is huge in bvr but launch speed is just as important. A missile off the rail going mach 1+ is going to be a LOT deadlier than firing at mid-high subsonic. The R27ER benefits a tone more from high launch speeds as due to its insane initial stage thrust. But anyway, enjoyed the video!

[@Hunter_i86]

Nice tip, thanks a lot my friend :)

[@bodenplatte1360]

@@Hunter_i86 Very true, this is also applicable to the F-14's AIM-54. The Phoenix is fast, but it's also heavy and therefore takes time to accelerate. I haven't taken the F-14 out much myself, but I've heard from people that unlike me know what they're doing, that the AIM-54 is at it's best launched not only at higher altitudes, say 6000 meters and above, but also while doing at least mach 1.

As always, thank you for your help and explainations.

Green square is radar lock, SPAA and jets have radars and can lock targets using their radars .. the red circle without green square is a heat-seeker missile locking a target .. You are welcome my friend :)

[@bpop2148]

@@Hunter_i86 From my understanding HDN like you said is for headons and it sends out many shorter radar waves which makes it easier to detect targets further away. However can’t be used when the target is closer than 7km and it can be notched quite easily I find. So having normal PD is probably best when you have a lock and don’t want to lose it so easily.

Don't see a lot of MiG29 in air RB. At least not when I play. Aim9L meta. I hoped that it could change the way top tier worked but the F14 is still the most powerful jet there. Its too bad. Maybe if they had given the Chinese tech tree a North Korean MiG29 instead. Or the East German one was added. If two or more nations had the jet perhaps its appeal would be greater. Many nations have the F16 with 9L. It kind of dominates. But only after the f14's have had their fill. Its really sad to see such a remarkable aircraft just be sidelined.

[@popmordiscos]

I do not believe its sidelined, I even think its the best at 1v1 BVR fights but yes its not a sole top dog, it is just how top Air rb works no matter the aircraft if you can't win a 1v5 if your team gets melted

[@popmordiscos]

Ground rb air superiority I believe its the the best when it comes to it, you have way better acceleration over the F-4 and F-14 two really competitive BVR missiles that are hard to dodge at high altitude and you do not lock up like the F-16 currently, so someone who understands BVR can win any 1v1 in the Mig 29 the only way for it to be beat in a 1v1 BVR fight is if the Mig is out of fuel or if you manage to get into range to start the dogfight and even in that case the Mig has a lot of potential
