About
This export variant of the Soviet MiG‑29 Fulcrum is essentially the same as its USSR counterpart in-game, built to counter jets like the F‑15 and F‑16. Despite real-life downgraded avionics, in-game it's identical in performance.
Playstyle
A true turn-fighter: excellent TWR and high turn rate means it outmaneuvers most 4th-gen jets. Use your helmet-mounted display and R‑73E to line up off‑boresight kills. Avoid long missile clashes—jump into close fights instead
Pros and Cons
Pros
➕ High thrust-to-weight (1.25) & solid climb
➕ Strong 33°/s turn rate for tight dogfights

➖ Only 150 rounds in GSh-30-1 cannon

➖ Energy bleeds fast in sustained turns
Loadout Option
Trivia
Intake doors close below 200 kph and LERX shutters feed the engines—an unmodeled detail, though LERX shutters animate in-game
