I usually take the mig to the deck flanking, going full burner until I hit max speed then never full burner again until i find myself in a proper dogfight. The SMT is amazing at exploiting the longevity.
Hey tim, i really liked you showing the MFD modes on the heads down display, idk if you resd my previous few comments suggesting to show the MFD modes but i really liked it, great review as always too
Guess I'll be watching this video again once I unlock it. The information presented in the video is honestly pretty damn useful, especially for me as I don't know much about 4th gen Russian aircraft
The big problem with top tier is the bugged RWR. I fly 2-3km behind a teammate, he locks an enemy plane ahead, i get a lock warning too. meaning that most of time i don't know who's actually locking me. on the same way i get missile warnings when teammates shoot at enemies and i have to either ignore it as a false alarm and risk getting shot or try to notch just in case getting myself out of position. now i understand that RWR can give a false positive is someone BEHIND ME locks someone who is ahead of me because i'm in the way of the radar beam but not when he's in front by several km
After having flown the f16c, f14b and mig29g for a while I'd take the 29 anyway of the week. The missiles are simply better and the fuel and rwr is no issue once you get used to it. SA is key. Having your missiles reach first in a head on with the 27ER/ET is just superior to carrying more missiles like f14. And most of the time you can hold your own in bfm against other fighters. Sure you can win every battle but not every battle is even
r27er is not arguably the best radar missile, it is objectively. taking r73's over 2x27er is pretty bad, taking IR missiles over radar just lets you not think about positioning but it's worse.
close in furball like Ace Combat is really fun if your plane can tango but the problem is not every plane can. I learn that the hard way after comimg back to the game (flying F105) after a very long time out of the loop
For seeker slaving, to have an accurate rate-of-closure indication so it'll be easier to tell if they're trying some maneuver to force me to overshoot them, and yes for the EEGS if the opportunity comes up.
Great plane great review... now all Gaijin has to do is get a fucking grip and provide fun gameplay. RB sucks SB is not only dead since forever but punishes everyone who still wants to play this mode. I am off to DCS where I can fly whatever I want however I want without being punished by some bs economy. I still pay upfront in SB just to spawn the damn plane and I need 3 kills just to break even on that spawn fee... for a plane that I had to grind for ages or even paid for. Very regrettable experience as usual.
Its best in GRB as you can dog fight f16 usually 1v1. At top tier i get team killed by friendly missiles if i go into the mosh quiet often. Thw r27's are great but the r73 are so broken its funny 😂 i get kills with my nose facing 90 degres away fron enemies dumoing flares and it still hits them 😂
3:05, if "multiple ACM targeting frames" refers to the ability to change the radar scope while in ACM mode, (IE change from the tall long ACM mode to a more focused box like in western jets) this might have been correct at the time of uploading, but it's no longer correct at time of my commenting.
Gosh, Tim. Another great review and video. The aircraft’s history at the beginning and attention to detail adds an extra touch that separates your videos apart from others.
I dont have prem acc, and use stock Mig29G, I already happy with only 2 x R-73. Yeah I can kill like 1-3 enemies easily. But I think this plane have issue while dogfight with F-16 (but thx to R-73 again it save me a lot), the most hardest dogfight for me so far is with Mirage, this plane almost in every single match will lose while dogfight with Mirage even R-73 in many case cant help you while dogfight with mirage.
Hi Tim. İ need help and quescion maybe u help me. After august patch agm-65 missiles laser lock system is broken. İf u try use 3. View camera lock to every thing.. Trees, rocks, sea, road... Etc.etc.. i check forum and wrote Gaijin but no turns. U know anything about this ??
Hey Tim, do you plan on reviewing the JH-7? Reading up on it , the capabilities of it in the game are a bit of a letdown. Maybe we'll see a later model come, featuring the radar jamming pods, etc.
@TimsVariety I see, and I know you don't play ground too often, but I'd love it if you could make a video on the ztz96 but not the a version thanks tim:)
Maxed out ace pilot, bruh you need to get a ton of xp on a specific plane to get an ace pilot. they should just remove ace and expert unless they're going to improve the base pilot to be usable with modern jets.
I think I speak for everyone when I say I really appreciate your reviews. Your reviews are BY FAR the most useful out there, and incredibly underrated. Keep it up! 🫡
