MiG-23BN Arnaments

Hi, so i recently played the MiG-23BN and i noticed that it doesn’t carry Air-to-Air Missiles.
After a quick search i found out that the MiG-23BN can carry them tho they are not in War Thunder,
i don’t know if i’m the only one that thinks they should be added but i hope they would be added.

Atleast R-13s could be on the aircraft which would kind off make the pain better, even tho the cannons are great!
But, i just think that atleast the R-13s could be added to it since almost every aircraft can carry Air-to-Air at that battle rating i hope that Gaijin could add them in future updates.
I’m not the best player when it comes to using the Russian Cannons as i’m an US main but Air-to-Air missiles would be Great!

If you can find any actual information and proof that they carried them, then you can make a official report for it.

Afaik MiG-23BN never carried A2A arment.

Looks like wikipedia and as such not a source.

Even if MiG-23BN could carry A2A missiles, it wouldnt stay at 9.7 if they got added due to airframe.

Worse, it is merely the featured result of a google search.

That’s what the GDR BNs had… No air to air

Yea, i know but it wouldn’t be that bad if it was moved to 10,3 even tho there are chances for uptiers and there it would be even more pain

If this was added it would be good, even tho there aren’t those AA Missiles like it said

On this site you have proof that it could carry AA Missiles it is in Czech tho, and we even have the camo of the Czech Flogger-H in-game.

Where could i make the report?
I found some proof of it on a site about the Aircraft.
That Flogger-H could carry R13Ms so i could try to submit.

P.S: After digging on the site i saw that they took info from a site on the MiG-27 so i’m not 100% sure that it could carry them even tho it says it on the site.

A) valka.cz by itself isnt a source, its a page publishing information which can be false, ta stránka má s tímto dost problémy.
B) there is no footnote in the arments section denoting which concrete book they used as source
C) you need to go to the sources they cite at the bottom of the page and look for the info there
D) most importantly, there is no photo.

I’m pretty sure you can make historical reports on the bug report page. I was told that’s where to do it by one of the suggestion mods

No, nevadi bolo tam napísané že čerpali info z MiG-27 wiki.ru tuším.

wiki.ru sounds like wikipedia and were back at square one.

You know warthunder has reputation for people publishing classified military documents in order to fix bugs, and you want to submit wikipedia as source for bug report?

the GDR Manuals say they didn’t

You should get a flight manual that states that the Mig-23BN carried air-to-air missiles, and considering the aircraft is dated you can find them online, good luck.
