Why does this surprise you? Soviet doctrine differed significantly from American doctrine and envisioned constant ground control of aircraft. From the ground, the group lead was told who to attack, who to defend against, and so on—assuming, of course, the enemy was within ground radar coverage. Furthermore, MiG-25 interceptors and even Su-33 aircraft didn't have any RWR systems at all. That's a very good point. I hope they'll remove the all-seeing RWR system from the AIs.

My posts are based on studying various aircraft manuals, of which I have many. I don't write unfounded, emotional posts, as some do.

Yes, of course, he could have received the lock signal from anyone. Even from his wingmen.

I have not seen any 4 pilots explicitly state that the SPO indicator shows clear information along with a working radar. The Russian documentation clearly states that when the radar is operating, the indication is chaotic. There is a suspicion that their stories may have been misinterpreted.

Anyone can make mistakes, and memory can be flawed too. There's no point in making pilots into superheroes who record every event into computer memory.

I understand that as the author of interviews with Yugoslav pilots, you don't want to think about this, but I'd rather assume the pilots' words and recollections are inaccurate. People sometimes make mistakes or make things up for public interest.

R-60MK is an export missile (коммерческая) with reduced countermeasure capabilities ССМ. I don't see the point.

Есть летабельные F-15C c AIM-7E/F/M и F-16C с AIM-9P/L/M. А боты есть F-16A, F-18A и пр.

Чтобы не расстраиваться, можно было оценить возможности МиГ-29 в Горячих скалах. Тогда бы вы не ждали конкурента F-14 в дальнем бою. Зато он вполне способен в ближнем с Р-73.

Вот по МиГ-29

Да, после выстрела мощность составляет 0,5-0,7 кВт/ср, потом разгорается в 3-4 раза.

У вас не верные данные по ППИ-26 завышенные в разы.

Есть аргументы?

Вы наверно хотели сказать что не реализованы разные типы ЛТЦ. ) Но это для МиГ-29 скорее в плюс. У него ЛТЦ слабее, по сравнению с Су-27 или западными аналогами.

В Локоне и ГС3 Береза сделана далеко от реала. Вероятно так было проще в то время.

There were precedents. The sad story of the MiG-23, which in its early versions had so many flaws and limitations that pilots wondered why they were given the aircraft at all. The MiG-23 only became a functional fighter with the MiG-23M modification.

Почему? На сколько я понимаю были устранены колебания автопилота на определенных режимах.

It's not as simple as it seems at first glance. To use night vision goggles, the cockpit and instrument lighting must be modified so that they emit light of a specific frequency, which is cut out from the night vision goggles. There is no documented or confirmed evidence that such MiGs ever existed.

Кто вам мешает в случае обнаружения бага или несоответствия написать об этом? Если аргументируете с документами - думаю исправят.

МиГ-29 в ГС сделан сильно упрощенным. На оригинал похож только внешне.

В реальном самолете это ограничение не снять. Это ограничение ракеты.

Да, бланкирование есть. Но при этом нормальная работа Березы не обеспечивается. О чем не двусмысленно указывается в БП. Береза корректно работает только без бланкирования, то есть без РЛПК.

This manual is from the 1990s, when many in the Russian Federation were not afraid to share over military documents. And this isn't the only manual. There's also a Su-27 combat manual which says pretty much the same thing.

Last year, ED reported that the AIM-7 missiles were based on a new API with new dynamics and guidance systems. Now the R-27 has reach this points too. If you don't turn on failures in the failures panel, they won't work. In the simulator, everything is perfect and nothing breaks, neither weapons nor planes.
