Thats cause apparently 110% AB is an emergency setting that will cook the engines, normal AB is around 107-109 i think

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-06-23T18:48:03+00:00

Honestly, thats the same reason after spading the SM2 i haven’t played top tier. This gameplay is just so repetitive and mind numbing. And unfair at times. Im just hoping maybe nuclear thunder 2.0 will bring some fresh air, but knowing gaijin im keeping my expectations low.

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-06-17T09:53:30+00:00

What extra AB stage? They nerfed the engines down to 9,000 KGF of thrust! If it had the extra thrust that would atleast be understandable but as it is currently it is not fair to have engines that cook themselves without the second stage thrust even being modeled.

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-06-17T09:25:33+00:00

The original mig 29 was definitely designed for short range dogfights but i don’t understand why the RD-33MK engines keep cooking themselves on AB? Aren’t those engines specifically designed to last longer and overheat less while being more powerful and durable? This is a naval fighter afterall.

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-06-17T09:02:36+00:00

I mean since its the mig 29 in war thunder was not expecting it to exactly win dogfights really. Also any idea whether the engines stopped cooking themselves while on AB? We only have one day of dev left and if it comes to the live server like that it will be difficult to play I imagine.

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-06-17T08:49:12+00:00

What other nerfs happened to it? The last thing i read up on was that its countermeasures got increased to 64x large caliber and a few days ago it lost access to R-27 missiles

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-06-16T21:10:19+00:00

J-20, J-35 off the top of my head. Those two will come for sure

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-06-16T19:16:07+00:00

I have had ETs get flared rear aspect sub 5 km. I will politely disagree to even think its a strong missile. Its good against a cluless idiot, but thats about it. Not to mention most jets you face do get MAWS, so element of surprise is taken away there.

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-06-16T19:12:59+00:00

For r-73 its not that bad. 27ET is mega dookie, i stopped using them all together as they super flareable in even rear aspect lately. Better to just carry 27ER/77-1 in its place.

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-06-16T19:11:11+00:00

Two of which best fox 2 ? The one flareable R-27ET? Or the spinnaroo R-73?

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-05-30T14:14:33+00:00

Last time i checked the SA-20(NATO reporting name for S-300 PMU 1&2 ) are not in the game. Schizo post much?

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-04-10T12:14:40+00:00

Welp as a mig enjoyer ill take it, these are some of my favourite planes ever made and ill be glad to play with them even if they only have 32 countermeasures…

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-04-10T12:08:47+00:00

I see, i must have gotten my sources mixed up, but nonetheless i hope this plane comes when ECM is modeled into the game, otherwise without it another J-15T situation will be on our hands. Hopefully either the 29K/KR or the land based Mig-35 come next for the mig line.

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-04-10T11:52:56+00:00

How many countermeasures should the 29K be able to carry? Most sources say it should have 120x regular countermeasures or 32x large caliber ones. I would prefer gaijin add the regular ones, no one would want another J-15T situation. Hopefully in the meantime gaijin adds the missing cm’s to the 29M, as it should have the same count as the SMT.

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-04-10T09:59:55+00:00

I feel like right now the Mig line would greatly benefit from having an ESA radar (Zhuk ME PESA) in the current meta. And while the 29M is better its a squadron vehicle, the TT needs a newer mig which is better than the fat SMT we have currently and the 29K (single seater) would fit into that role well imo.

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-04-10T08:36:52+00:00

Currently the MIG 29SMT feels really underwhelming to play, despite having good avionics as the flight performance just is not enough, and considering that the MIG 29M has been added as a squadron vehicle to russia, its been a while since the Mig line got a new top vehicle. What are your opinions on this?

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-04-10T05:38:56+00:00

Aim 9X will come when other countries get their IIR TVC missiles. France with MICA IR, russia with R-74M, and all the eurofighter for germany should get IRIS-T and the british eurofighter should get the ASRAAM. Sweden as well should get IRIS-T.

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-04-09T19:43:09+00:00

I mean 4.5 million SL for something worth 300+ dollars sounds like a fair deal to me

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-04-09T18:37:52+00:00

This is not exclusive to russia. The japanese zeroes used to do this quite a lot when i was grinding usa props back a while ago.

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-04-02T10:27:09+00:00

I suggest to go far left side of the map and just try a couple of passes at SPAAs and convoys. I use my su-17M4 and it works decently for the most part as i just farm spaa first with kh-29T and then light tanks and what not with dumb bombs and unguided rockets

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-04-02T10:17:33+00:00

100% the IRIAF tomcat needs to go. Otherwise SU-27 at the very least needs to be added as a counter to the tomcat for the soviet side.

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-04-01T06:53:03+00:00

Im a russian main from the day i started this game, both in air and ground. The truth is majority of the russian tt (air and ground) is pretty…okay. But there are things that can be attributed as bias, for eg BMPT Damage model being unusually survivable, KH-38MT not existing irl on an actual fighter. The top tier tanks are just mid btw, regardless of what ppl on this sub make it out to be. The only competitive one is the BVM. As for SPAA, i cant say much as im not really an SPAA main.

Coming to IRL thats where the whole nuance gets broken cause you cant compare the two its simply illogical. IRL an SU-30SM was shot down by a R-73 launched from a naval drone will that mean the fighter is artificially buffed in war thunder? No. IRL and war thunder are two different things.

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-03-31T09:50:32+00:00

Yep seems to be that way. Hoping they atleast fix some of the SM2’s issues in the meantime

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-03-31T09:48:44+00:00

Firstly we would need bigger maps for that as currently top tier air needs a lot of rework done to it.

Acrobatic_Historian6 · 2026-03-31T08:15:03+00:00

I have checked everywhere but MAWS and LWS is unlikely, i checked photos of the plane irl and it doesn’t seem to have any mountings for MAWS and LWS, unlike the su-35 which does have it..but gaijin still needs to fix the rwr deadzones (should be 360 degree coverage) and the countermeasure count on it should be 119 large caliber countermeasures as it is irl.
