Hello I'm grinding the german fighter tech tree I wanted to ask: EF-2000 v. MIG-29G? Which one should I get

I know that the battle rating is better for the EF but I'm also very fond of the MIG-29 even though at a lower battle rating. I know they both have their strengths and weaknesses, but I just wanted to drop a discussion here for more input.

Not a bug.

Different jets different playstyle different loadout.
At that range my friend after f4 ice before they give ef switched to mig29 and got more kills dodged more missiles.

Both the EF-2000 and MiG-29G have their merits, but they serve different roles and playstyles.

The EF-2000 is overall superior in most aspects:

- Agility: It outperforms most jets in close combat.
- Speed & Acceleration: Faster and more responsive. (1.25 thrust to weight ratio)
- Avionics & Capabilities: Better sensors, radar, and targeting systems.
- Armament: Carries a more versatile loadout for both BVR, WVR, close-range combat and CAS.

If used correctly, the EF is a superior multirole aircraft capable of adapting to almost any situation—whether it's long-range missile engagements or dogfighting. It rewards players who can use its full potential strategically.

In contrast, the MiG-29G is more of a dedicated interceptor/fighter:

- Strong in early-game interception and head-on engagements due to its speed and powerful radar missiles at a lower BR.
- Excellent for energy fighting and quick strikes—hit fast, hit hard, and disengage.
- Not as versatile as the EF, but still deadly in experienced hands, especially in lower BR matches.

TLDR:

Choose the EF-2000 if you want a flexible, high-performance multirole jet that dominates all phases of combat.

Go with the MiG-29G if you enjoy raw speed, aggressive intercepting, and tight air superiority engagements at a slightly lower BR.
