i noticed that. but in the dev server what you selected was internal fuel and the tank added an extra 8min, in the f16 case. so i think it was bugged

[@bilack7007]

So whats the point of a fuel tank then if it doesn't change the actual amount of fuel you can use? If it only changes the distribution of fuel between the internal and external tanks, then what difference does it make? 15m of fuel internal and 5m fuel external is the same as 20m internal... Is there something I am missing here?

I mean, there is a good reason why the MiG-29 outperforms the F-16A. The MiG-29 enter service in 1982, and its HMD helmet arrived in 1985. The F-16A was already around 7 years old by that point. In fact, by giving the MiG 29 the HMD, the actual counter to the MiG-29 were the first F-16Cs (Block 25 in 1984) with improved radar that allows all-weather BVR capability for their AIM-7M.

[@johnwanderin3872]

And the ADF was built as an interceptor for Air National Guard units. The Taiwanese Block 20 is the closest A model to the 29 in capability.

So now we don't know what we have. The plane is something inbetween a Mig-29S (9.13) and Mig-29A (9.12) hence on the statcard it just says Mig-29 because they couldn't be decisive enough to add either or. Though in places (can't quite remember where) the 9.13 shows up, and that must be only due to the fact the aircraft got that small hunch indicative of a Mig-29S (but it's really not one since in addition to missing the R-73 it's also missing the R-77). What they should have done in order to avoid confusion is just to model the Mig-29A (9.12) and let the R-73 stay ... yes the aircraft is going to have less range but it would have been truthfull / factually correct, and i think players / fans would have appreciated it way more than some halfbaked compromise (some made up Mig-29).

[@lexluger6904]

This^ you worded it nicely! Besides the "hunch" or extended spine was for the added electronics so the aircraft can use R-77...that's not even where the extra fuel is, that was the "fatback" version which came later which got a much enlarged "hunch" or spine. Plus in - game Mig-29 gets a fueltank anyway which extents its range. Overall i feel like Gaijin bungled the Mig-29.

[@IronWarrior86]

@@lexluger6904 Indeed the MiG-29A (9.12) could be equipped with a centerline fuel tank, and the "Fatback" was the MiG-29SMT (9.17).

[@Tehlongcat]

Doesn’t the 29S also have a better radar? The A variant is a much better match to the version of the F-16 they added.

[@julios3456]

MiG29 (9.13) is not MiG-29S (9.13S). 9.13 is 1986 modification with additional fuel tank and l203 gardenia jamming station installed in its enlarged back. MiG-29S (9.13S and few 9.12S without gardenia jamming station - no hunch back no place for it) is newer and much bigger modernisation (produced from 1991) featuring new radar, armament system and computer thus it could fire r-77

The problem with War Thunder jets is, it doesn't reflect how bad Russian radar and missile lock-range is versus the better US, and Allied stuff (Map Size). The Aim-120 is also not equipped to the latest and greatest NATO stuff. They need to be very careful how they nerf the Mig-29 because when the f-15 turns up it may be worse balance wise.

[@miquelescribanoivars5049]

The N019 was a very decent radar for its time, easily comparable in most regards to AN/APG-66 and 65 in the early F-16 and F-18. So was the R-27R compared to the AIM-7F and 7M, though admitidelly, being able to carry just two was quite limiting. AMRAAM's are post cold war missiles, so are HMD's in USAF planes. The game clearly isn't ready for their addition anyways, just look at how AIM-54's are implemented. I doubt the F-15 we are likely to get soon (F-15A w MLU and early F-15J) would be a much bigger deal than the F-14A balance wise.

[@MP18.7]

I'm quite curious when they will add the Eurofighter

[@Daze-ew6xj]
