I dont know if this question has been asked before, but I am interested in knowing whether the MIG-29S in Lomac is modelled with the N019Ms dual targeting capability for the R-77, or whether it retains the radar functionality(SST only engagement mode) of the basic N019/N001 as was the case in Flanker 2.0/2.5?

Not a developer but I asked the same question to the developers on forum.lockon.ru...
The MiG-29 Fulcrum C or (9.13S) in Lock-on is modelled with N019M, it can engade two targets at a time with the use of R-77. In real life the MiG-29 9.13S isnt very numerous. The Russian Airforce in late 1980s ordered 50 9.13S' but received only 16 due to collapse of Soviet Union.

So, there are only 16 operational MiG-29S?

I don't give a damn about the numbers now... this is MOST excellent news! Thanks so much, Grave!

That is good news indeed!

No problem (I am going to love the MiG-29S myself in LOMAC)
FLYdude, yep only 16 operational MiG-29S', they kind of came at a bad time (1988/1989). I believe there were plans to buy more but Russian Airforce lost interest, due to lack of funds probably. However around 200 MiG-29's are scheduled to be upgraded to MiG-29SMT standart with a hugely improved A2G capability.

Ok, I don't have a problem with LOMAC modeling an aircraft built in very low numbers. As long as you pick 16 guys who can use the MiG-29S in multiplayer, and keep the rest flying the other aircraft. [img]/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif[/img]
Just kidding of course, the capability to engage two aircraft is not much of an improvement over one aircraft. Now eight aircraft at a time, that's an improvement!

Undeniably, but even dual targeting capability is a HUGE improvement [img]/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif[/img] . The fact that fighters normally operate in pairs - meaning that in most engagements you would only face a pair of enemies, means that having the ability to engage both of them simultaneously is a major advantage as opposed to having to target one at a time with SARH missiles. The other important advantage is that ARH missiles such as the R-77 would be launched from TWS mode, which means that you can retain "SA" while engaging - unlike when in SST mode, where only your target is displayed.

MiG-29S (9.13S) was just a small upgraded version of the original 9.12. Apart from having R-77, modernized radar, modified avionics to engage two targets and a "hump back" for more internal fuel, it also has an internal jammer and some other small fixes that I dont remmember of.

Russian Airforce has quite alot of 9.13's though, which is similar to "S" except the modernized radar and R-77 capability.
