    They want you to spend money, it's clear. The nerf to the economy now made grinding even worse and it's very intentional as to why. After all, they did just release a bunch of Rank 7 premiums along with the Christmas sale being right around the corner.

    I believe this is actually the Mig29A 9-13. It's a bit confusing, but the first Fatback 9-13 carried more fuel, more ordnance and a jammer. the 9-13S is the Mig29S, with a new radar and other upgrades.

    Exactly, this isn't the S. It's been a common mistake due to incorrect info in the english wiki of the Mig-29. The 9-13S (the actual S) had many differences, including the new radar, new R-77, R-27ER and R-73M missiles, revised flight control systems allowing higher AoA and a bit more ground ordinance, enabling the middle wing pylons for FAB-500 bombs.

    It's unable to pull the nose around at low airspeeds and the AoA is lacking. Currently the FM is very underperforming and I am working on bug reports to fix it. The F-16 was also irrationally nerfed into the ground before introduction to live. I'd recommend covering these if they're fixed after the new years.

    The US Navy had helmet mounted targeting systems in service as early as the late 60s, way before south africa did. Pretty much all USN phantoms had access to em. The technology was fairly well understood in the west, they just tended to prioritize radar slaving, given how advanced their radar sets were.

  • @TimsVariety

    The primary sources I have indicated that the South Africans introduced them operationally in 1966, specifically mentioning that it was the first system in actual service rather than just testing prototypes or anything. The US Navy''s VTAS wasn't introduced until 1969 in the F-4J (which now has it in game, by the way). What you're probably thinking of was a system from Hughes that used a small CRT reflector as a makeshift HUD, but it didn't provide any weapons targeting functions.

    Re HMD, in the real MiG-29 the pilot's helmet had an analog sight, mounted to the right side of his helmet. The pilot would drop that over his eye and it would have a transparent square of plastic with a ring sight in it. He'd move that over the bandit, press a button on the stick to lock up the target, squeeze the launch authorize button and away the missile goes. It was crude, just a step above the AH-1 Cobra gunner helmet sights, but it worked. Then came the SU-27's system and the more advanced Israeli systems followed by the US and others. Funny enough the A-10C and the F-16C have the same helmet mounted display and if the F-14D and stayed it would have had the same display.

    "It will allow for sloppier performances, you decide if this is a good or bad thing" It definitely is a good thing imo. Anyone who disagrees ask yourself this, what's the point on continuing to introduce modern vehicles if they don't provide upgrades and ease of use life upgrades? Modern military equipment is easier to use than the previous equipment, accessibility improvements were done to make the technology easier to use and more human friendly. The doctorine most countries realised, was a more comfortable pilot or crew meant a better performing crew. Now that being said it appears that the mig 29 will still perform better if you never make a mistake and fly it like a champ, the difference is there's more of a margin for error. I just think it's important to accept this sooner rather than later, before the 5th gen jets with thrust vectoring arrive.

    irl the hms is even better, it slave the irst or radar, and then the radar or the irst enslave the missile. Once the target is lock the red circle stop following your head but follow the locked plane. thanks to that you can easly keep the position of your enemy in a dogfight.

    Think it will, if anything its underperforming rather then over. (And its still really good. I’ve seen some people hate on it in the game chat but its as far as I can tell by far the best plane in the game. Though I haven’t tried the mig29) Also the aim7M right now I don’t think is any different from the aim7F but should be somewhat better as well so we might still get significant upgrades. Either later or when more gen 4 fighters are introduced. (My guess is that the full performance would be to unbalanced right now. Instead of more decompression gaijin is just nerfing the planes. Don’t fully agree with this but it does work somewhat)

    As I was thinking, this doesnt really shift the meta. Mig29 should have been introduced together with the f-14, that still remains the most capable aircraft in the american tech tree and arguably in the game. But now at least it has several worthy opponents. I'd like to see also france and sweden get better BVR missiles in the future to stop the gap between them and the usa.
