Major Update 'Alpha Strike" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

F/A-18s and the MiG-31 as the poster children

1 Like

does MiG-31 have a gun?

yes, a 23mm

The early models have one, they ditched it on the later models

so that one would actually have a chance to be added, unlike my beloved MiG-25

we’ll just have to see how gaijin Interpretes its Flight performance

I don’t see why they couldn’t add the MiG-25 though, there are other aircraft with no guns in the game.

I honestly think they should add both the MiG-25 and the YF-12 in one update, they’d be stupid but fun

Yeah, the MiG-25 would be cool, but only having R-60(M)s wouldnt be great, considering the R-40s would probably suck terribly

yea the MiG-25 only has one OK version they could add and thats the PD
it gets 2 Twin R-60 mounts, a PD radar, no CMs and the Horrible R-40s in its Improved form (they’re worse than R-23 in every aspect except size)

oh and did I mention its Max wingload is 4G?

Don’t mind me, just taking a slight turn…

whoops, there goes my wing

it’s Gaijin and the PD is one of the few Aircraft where they actually managed to keep things secret

its possible that they interpret it like the US did in its Panic who thought its a supermanoverable High speed fighter

Did you not know when you first bought it?

infact that the PD’s true capabillities have stayed asecret has lead to some wild discussions in the Plastic Scale modelling scene where I used to be active, some sources claim they were retrofitted with R-23/24 and even R-73s but since there are no Pictures and I didnt find a manual that cannot be proven

Ah, that’s fair then

I will offer a bit of advice when it comes to pre-ordering premiums (not meant to sound rude or anything lol): weigh all your options. Make sure to examine all the pre-order bonuses, and if one of them stands out to you as something you really want (or the vehicle itself is something you really want right away), then I’d say pre-order. If not, then wait for it to go on sale to acquire it for cheaper.

They would have to offer some crazy pre-order boni on a super exciting plane for me to actually consider pre-ordering a pack

Fair, I’m the same way with the F-20 lol (any of my posts on the devblog for it or WT live should prove this lol)
