Most Efficient BVR climb and Highest performance Speeds

[AeriaGloria]

Hello, when I look on YouTube, I often see people flying low and relatively slow firing R-27 no more then 25 km. 
 

And yeah, it’s hard becuase MiG-29 has low fuel and no one told us how to properly climb and accelerate with it to get to max altitude and speed. 
 

Well, here is the way to get as high and fast as possible, using the least fuel you possibly can, and throw that R-27 as far as it can go and still get home! 

I also talk about highest performance speeds for several things as these are important building blocks to make our most efficient climb, and how to get home with the least fuel. 
 

Really hope it helps, it’ll make it easy peasy to get Mach 1.7+ at 18 km altitude and become the juggernaut blufor fears!!!

Let me know if anyone wants this for Sukhhoi

Really? When I take off and climb to 10km using reheat, and then switch to a more reasonable cruise setting, the fuel gauge still gives me 1100km+ range (with a centreline tank).
I don't think "low fuel" is the problem, more so the fuel efficiency at military power and reheat.

But gamers will be gamers and fly in reheat constantly (you can see that on YT) and then complain about low range (F-16 forum has threads about it as well) 

Obviously flying intercept profiles will be different but in such cases MiG-29 does what it's designed for and nothing more.

As one of those folks who remain on AB from take off through almost the entire sortie in the Viper, I think it has great range when you're up high (+35k); I never run out of fuel before I go winchester. Up high you must AB anyway. Actually I'm a bit taken aback with how fuel efficient the DCS 16 is, especially compared to that other F16 sim. It's like the energizer bunny.

I found the 29 to be not too different from the 16, fuel consumption wise. I think avoiding fighting on the deck and making it a rule to go up high could sway the opinion of many who think the 29 and the 16 have short range.
