Normally I would say that planes like the mig31 doesnt fit the game since the maps are small and the objectives arent really suitable for those types of planes.But with the introduction of nuclear thunder I feel like interceptors can get a chance to shine. Something like the early model mig31s with the r33s could be fun imo if they are put in a good br. What do you guys think
depends on how they br it to high its bad too low its OP also depends on what weapons it gets

I was thinking the base model would be the best since the hypersonic stuff would be balance hell. The fiirst mig31s get 4xr33 on the belly and total of 2 r40s on the wings and a around 100 ammo gsh23
a mig-31 early would have stuff like R-33, R-40TD1, R-60M, and maybe R-73 depends on the year. radar is superb even for the early models.
and newer models would have stuff like. R-40TD1(some sources say no other yes), R-33S, R-37, R-37M (400KM+ range). R-77-1 and normal 77, and ofc R-73/74. i didnt write this for a spesifik model. also radar is even better. newer models has CAS ablity afaik
it would be like a better turning mig-25 that can go fast a low alt, with one of the best radars in the game and the longest range AAM,s and so on
Too low and they eat everything
Too high and they get eaten by everything
double the acceleration of the mig-25 with worse turning ability in game. idk man prolly gonna be some buns
Maps haven’t been 40x40km in over 5 years…
Mig-31 was ready map-size for over 5 years now, BR it needed 13.0 to exist. [R-73s and R-33s]
Speed go brrr. Turning circle of Siberia. Mach Jesus missiles.
I’ve heard enough, place the first two MiG-31s at 12.7-13.0 and the 31BM at 14.0.
So that’s why they periodically fly over my city.

bm would be highest br as of now
Depends, probably terrible considering how small maps are
with how 25 is already preforming i dont think so
How comparable would FM be to 25?
it would be faster acceleration overall, and can go fast at low alt (Mach 1.23)afaik. it has a increased Glimit 5 instead of 4.5. should also have much better low alt maneuverability. not to sure about high alt, would imagine it being similar
I think that, if it would go as fast as MIG-25 and accelerate better then it, then it would be terrible to notch in it, ofc you can cut the after burner and deploy air break to slow down and notch quickly but I still think MIG-31 would die a lot due to mismanage of speed in it and that it would need to slow down a lot to get into a notch, hence why i think it would be terrible
depends it would most likely get the R-37 which is 200km+ and mach-6+. and if they really wanted they could add the R-37M which is 300-400km range and also mach-6+. and the radar would be one of the best ingame. even the older variants would have a awsome radar, but with R-33 and 33S.
Hell no bro its WAYYY WORSE turn wise. Its 41 goddamn tons lmfao
I honestly dont want the r37. That opens the pandoras box of next gen missiles which all just mog the r37 for war thunders style of gameplay. Also flankers can carry the r37 too which just ruins the mig31 gimmick bc flankers are the better platform for it for wt
I believe if gaijin keeps making an effort on the alternate modes like nuclear thunder it could be really good.
It’s soviet and this is War Thunder. So probably very well
