Does it? It's like a Flanker in TPRL mode, huh

Welp, there're a few different NATOPS, they only say 6.5 or less and there's not a single mention of any war time G limit Wanted to add the later ones, but those would be post 1980, so... Any way, the plane never reached the projected 7.0 G limit. And, if I understand it correctly, was limited to 2G with flaps down

It was more physically demanding then the MiG-29, probably due to the back of the ejection seat angle. Anyway, that capability was there. Mainly due to the latter one probably, I believe 15C made its first flight when the MiG-23 was already allowed to pull 8.5Gs. Speaking of capabilities, the F-14 was still a 6.5G fighter in the 90s so it's probably not only about motivations but also airframe reserves I can't really argue on those topics, but I'd say that 9G maneuvers are more probable in a subsonic dogfight then while going supersonic. And that there must be some kind of limitations when one operates F-15/16 with certain fuel and weapon load outs. Though, of course extra capabilities are capabilities and will benefit in certain situations Well, the aircraft had a powerful engine and little drag due to 74,4 degrees wing sweep. Overspeed wouldn't momentarily damage the airframe though, the plane could reach M2.6 at high altitude for a short period of time even though it had M2.35 speed limit in the flight manual. But if one ignored overspeed for some time the canopy could start to melt. Are you talking about the one who died in 2010? To be honest, I couldn't find neither the accident nor the man... But I know that most of the crashes were due to departures and stalls, not to overspeeds or overpulls. If we're talking about the very early MiG-23Ms which shared MiG-23 '71 main structural component - the fuel tank №2, it was reinforced in 1974 which mostly fixed the problem. Mostly - because metal fatigue was still an issue (caused fuel leaks from time to time), but not to the point when the aircraft would dismember in flight

There're only 6 MiG-35s built And except of DAS it's equal to 29K so Yeah, if it can be made - why not, but 29k looks like a more interesting choice imo When it comes to the second statement, it was also said that those won't differ much from the old 77 because the aircraft won't be able to tell the missile to use all the fancy flight trajectories it's capable of

Hm, well, it's only a 3 year difference. Was the F-15A rushed into service? 15C looks like a fix in terms of G limit, as if it finally reached the desired capabilities in that regard Well, you are partially right here. Those limits apply to the MiG-23M, but they were kept on 23ML for a few first years of its service. Those were increased to 8.5G later Do you refer to anything specific? It had that extra 50% safety margin like any fighter plane if you're talking about its G limit. The other problem I can think of was a sudden departure followed by a flat spin which was fixed in 1978-1979 with introduction of a new dampening system

Well, I don't know if 7.3G could really be considered high since planes like the F-16 and the MiG-23 had ~8.5-9 G limits, but yeah, that's better than, for example, 6.5G of the F-14 I'm sure the F-15A was a formidable opponent for most of european fighters, but Lightning was really a fat pig, so the result isn't surprising

Yep. But the point was that SMT won't really give us anything new in terms of a2a combat and 29M/K would. The latter one would equalize the disparity of BVR engagements while still being something of the FF F-15/16C level. A better option gameplay wise in my opinion, equally matched to what we have right now in the game

Т.е это фейк, вы с ним не контактировали на тему 57?

Hm, wasn't the F-15A a 9G aircraft? What was its limit then?

All military tech development stalled around 1989-90 due to politics. It was tested in the 80s And is actually late 80s level of soviet technology

How will the radar capabilities differ from the FC4 version?

Означает ли это, что в игру будут добавлено такое вооружение Су-57 как Р-77-1 (или даже 77М), Р-37? Есть ли хоть какие-то примерные сроки? Помнится летчик Су-35 писал, что 27СМ может пускать Р-77-1, но без возможности применения всяких особенных траекторий в виду отсутствия модернизации самолета под новую ракету. Сможем ли мы повесить их на МиГ-29С в аналогичном "подрезанном" исполнении?

Значит в ДКС должны появиться Р-77-1 как минимум. Как максимум - 77М, что, конечно, уже вряд ли

A: I believe it would be fair to say that you're a little delusional B: see A

Do you think that one needs aesa and nothing less to detect a stealth aircraft at decent range? It doesn't work that way, even a planar array will pick it up, it just needs enough power output and sensitivity Of course they say that, they're biased due to... reasons. Swedes have zero LO planes so they say that stealth is overhyped and not that needed. Who is right?

We won't get any new capabilities with 29SMT. Yes, it will have access to guided a2g, but a2a will still be limited to 1980s R-77s. Now, MiG-29K/M2 - that's a different story

That's a necessity caused by past decisions. I hate to bring War thunder example here, but look how that game evolved: it made a long way from early jets to modern-ish ones. Each generation (or even half of it) added introduced a top dog premium (which is basicaly an analog of dcs modules paywall wise) which saled accordingly. DCS, on the other hand, jumped straight to mid 2000s stuff which makes planes like F-15A/ early F-16/18s undesirable compared to their modern versions

What if I don't want to fight against a fantasy plane on my favorite server? I stop playing?

Mid 2000s tech against the 80s MiG-29 makes a limited amount of sense. That's a good question, but with a predictable answer

Thank you ED, but

R-24 some day? I suppose it should have a little more range compared to R-27

Несколько жаль, что Ф-15 будет родом из середины 2000х. Впрочем, сервера 80-х и так завалены гостями из будущего, одним больше, одним меньше...

No, I don't think so. Current situation with the model - yes, discussions on tech details - maybe. But the amount of Pictures posted looks more like flood to me

Can this topic be renamed into MiG-29 Picture Tread?

А облака будут мешать работе миговской олс и ракет с ИК гсн?
