The countries that can actually design and develop similar high-performance engines are few and have only obtained the ability such as China very recently. To put in perspective, even today those performances are of a capability that many nations struggle to reproduce in their own domestic designs. The Mig29’s RD-33s possesses of the highest rated output performance and qualities and directly played a part in defining standard 1:1+ hallmark technologies that make up the 4th generation as only this fighter and the F15 had this performance since prototype and the first batch of serial production deliveries rolled of the line and was second only to the F-15 for years. It is GJ that still has yet to appreciate aircraft with such capabilities as a 1:1 thrust to weight. I agree as well because that thrust was so efficient that output did not need to be upgraded even in the SMT with the soviets knowing the of additional weight. The simple reason the Soviets saw was, no need. It is also why all sources point out that upgrades were so few and far between and if any thrust enhancement was carried out, it was recently far down the production run history. There is also no legitimate reason at this time that any other brand new Mig29M nor K. The Mig29 is a perfected dogfighter especially for its role. The more I look into this fighter, literally every source from the Western perspective and Eastern experience as well as allied nations experience with it and regardless of myself personal distaste for Mikoyan failed platforms. MiG-29 consumes MUCH less than an F-14 at lower speeds (it only burns more when going fast as the rd33 thrust curve is very aggressive), and, even with same time (for example 15 minutes on both), the lower the fuel the more the MiG-29 is going to improve on the F-14, as it will be losing an higher percentage of what was his previous total mass (which means bigger improvement in thrust to weight and bigger improvement in centre of mass position) Meanwhile with the current instructor the MiG-29 is already past the AoA at which is efficient and is not pulling very hard either when compared to what it can.Īlso the guy that was flying the MiG-29 in the video was going for R-73 shots that usually do hit normal battles, but even when doing 1v1s with a friend I felt countermeasures were kinda stronger on custom battles (nothing to back up this last thing I said, could very well be wrong), which meant he was not flying optimally for a guns fight.Įdit: 20 min fuel for both is also a bit unfair towards the MiG-29 as a fuel level. With full real controls it can pull harder than the F-14 and basically rate equally (it would rate better if F-14 wasn’t slightly over performing) at optimal speed with 20 min fuel. Regardless of that, the problem with the MiG-29 is not that it the flight model is overnerfed, the problem is the instructor.
