In the late years of Southern Watch, they outran AMRAAMs and Phoenix, but someone else may tell you better
That´s why i improved the missiles as from the original MF weps to match their western counterparts. Perhaps it is not accurate, but makes the game more challenging. About the MiG-29, IIRC, the trials on german examples after 1989 showed that the combination of HMD with AA-11 made them beat every adversary in "fair", close combta conditions conditions, but it´s been proven how can this be solved with an overwhelming environment in term of SA, and all related to comms, radar, electronics, etc. What i mean is that perhaps these are as good as their opponents, but the battlefield conditions make the difference "If you engage in a fair fight, then your tactics are failing"
