Mig29A Fuel difference between FC3 and FF

[Hawkeye_UK]

ED,

On the FC3 version of the Mig29A it allows for 1150L wing fuel tanks to be fitted to pylon 3 & 5 (inboard stations).

This is useful for longer flights , or fast ferry flights (aka in MP when you may need to go from a far base to front line quickly).

Just curious the FF does not allow for wing tanks, please can they be added on the next patch?

Thanks.

Wing tanks were plumbed for the 9.13 or Fulcrum C varients (MiG-29S in DCS). None of the 9.12 native or export varients where ever plumbed for wing tanks, including the low fidelity flaming cliffs version of the  MiG-29A (your thinking of the MiG-29S) that is in DCS. One centerline is all we get, however we can extend her range quite a bit by getting high and pulling back to around 85%-90% rpm.

Yes, and the Germans explicitly modified theirs for wing tanks

True but I consider that a mid service upgrade. But is is true that the German Planes are 9.12A's so i would be fine if later on down the road we might get it, but i don't think it's something we should really expect.
