yeah but u get only two R24r and sometimes they don’t work. Idk man I actually hate that thing(probably skill issue)
Easy. The radar is too bad and the RWR is too bad. It’s dogfighting ability also relies on the user understanding wing sweep and utilizing it correctly. At 12.0 it would be like F-4J, forgotten because there’s just better stuff. The answer is decompression, as always.

Perhaps, but when you look at stuff like the Phantom FGR2, I really wish it had its IRL 9Ls at 12.0.
And in SB… Mig-23MLD is at 11.3 which is the same BR as the Sea Harrier…
maybe they can give R73 for mig23
Sure, if you want it at 12.3

probably because those things I just mentioned matter even more in sim
they shouldn’t, it was never fitted operationally
MTI beats SRC (let alone IRST)
Super-sonic vs sub-sonic
SARH vs none
LCMs vs CMs
Pretty much in every single aspect, the Mig-23MLD destroys the Sea Harrier
I am not comparing the two jets you mentioned.
wdym later models can even carry r77 s.
never fitted operationally, all 1 offs
this also included your r73

It was a mockup to show what upgrades can be added to a MiG-23 if a country were to purchase one. Just becauce you can put a missile on a plane doesn’t mean it is capable of actually firing it or even flying with it.

just like R27R1 s with F-14IRAF
whilst looking at the f4f my matchmaking was on ground so that was probably why it said 11.7 and not 13.0
Wait until you get to the F-4J with wing sweep at 12.7: F-14A.
F-4J is a good aircraft.
That doesn’t matter to Gaijin.
If the plane could use it, then it can be added as a loadout option. They don’t add R-73s and R-77s because the airframe and radar won’t be enough to be fair at the BR it would be required to be at.
I’m aware. They also don’t care about forum members complaining either.
And yet it won’t be, because the 23s are fine. They don’t make a habit of adding late one off additions as mainline mods on tech tree aircraft.
I got no problem with the 23s keeping their armaments that they have in game. As much as I want Gaijin to add modern missiles and let the players figure out how to deal with it, not every plane needs to have it’s full capability otherwise we wouldn’t have a very fun game.
