MiG-29 Fulcrum
Fausto Romeo's Review
Pitch, Roll and AOA
With both RD-33's running at 185% of their normal regime, the MiG's acceleration is nothing short of flabbergasting, and in a handful of seconds you will easily get past Mach one.
The acceleration is so breathtaking that speed control can sometimes become a very important factor in air-to-air missions, especially if one keeps in mind that the Fulcrum enjoys a significant edge in low-speed manouvering over the F-16, whereas the latter becomes more efficient at the high speed end of the flight envelope.
You will have to watch out for excessively fast flybys though, since exceeding structural limit speeds in the sim could result in your MiG blowing up in bits and pieces. In the sim, Novalogic has set the maximum recommended airspeed for the MiG-29 at around 1500 Kmh, which is a credible average ceiling if the aircraft is fully loaded with external stores, even if in real life the Fulcrum is actually capable of easily going past 2 Mach ticks at high altitude.
