thr FM got nerfed by 30%
And yet its still good, it can beat most planes in its BR range.
ok and?
Honestly Idk they nerfed the 24r into the ground and kept on going, it’s unusable for me. But r73s are a little to much give it like the 27r maybe just maybe the 27er. This may sound stupid but it’s a lot better than giving it 73s
Why not give it AIM-174 and Phyton 5? This will surelly balance things in 11.7

It never used the R-27. The only MiG-23 that ever did was the MiG-23-98 (and even then I doubt it had the ER).
Even though it received a FM nerf and a second radar nerf, the missile itself was never once nerfed like you said. The plane currently sits at a BR lower than what other planes who shared a BR with it did, as it went from 11.3-11.7 despite many other comparable jets going up to 12.0.
I say Gaijin just fixes the radar to use MTI whenever the pilot wants and calls it a day, it should be plenty playable after that even at 12.0 with that change.

Ok, I just was making a suggestion because I think that’s much better than an r73

On BR of F-20, and Bison.
Great idea btw.
Make top premiums a old planes, but with advanced soft/hardware.

It is much better I agree, but historically it didn’t carry it. The MiG-23ML also likely never carried the R-24, but since exported variants did this received them.

And similar to existing previous premium planes makes them easier for premium players to adapt too. Not a bad idea really (but then again, there’s that possibility of putting ARH in a premium players hands…)
No, no, no.
Only a top-grade Fox-1/2 for wallet warriors.
Want a Fox-3?
Grind to the top of TT.
That’s what everyone thought about SARH missiles and even IR missiles, and then IRCCM IR missiles, but we are
As dumb as it is, it’s honestly just a matter of time…
yeah i dont want to see fox3 on premium planes, even those who grinded their way to top tier TK me enough with amraams.
also i think someone from gaijin said in a post that premiums wont be wielded with the best armaments in the game, which i think is more than wise.
This is becoming far to common for the USSR tech tree, to be handheld with special loadouts… Mig-29 with R27-ERs, The R24s, The Yak-141 with any missiles… Must be nice to be completely spoon fed armament you couldn’t carry.
The good stuff can’t come fast enough. The next generation of Aim-120s aren’t fooled by low flying, it might force more users to climb and air battle finally. We are already seeing this with the current meta. Half the teams are now climbing and battling it out, and its kind of nice.
It’s really weird actually. The Soviets upgraded a bunch of MLs to MLA standard but never changed the name. Hence the MiG-23ML we have in game with R-24s
No SARH/ARH missile past the first few are affected by Multipathing. For example Skyflash’s Minimum altitude is from its prox fuse triggering from the ground that it is by multipathing. Multipathing in war thunder is there for balance and balance alone. Likelyhood is that Aim-120Cs will have the same 60m MP that every other missile has unless Gaijin reduces it further
The best thing this game could get, is to get rid of the silly multipathing for missiles that didn’t need to worry about it. Funny thing is the flight manual for the SU-27 and Mig-29SMT both say the R27-ERs only work about 3000ft, and when pointed up. Pointed down at the earth below 3000ft they go blind. So not all of them are immune to it.
We are seeing more and more air battles at top tier, the best thing that can happen is remove multi-path and get people fighting in the air again.
Aim-7C does say it has a minimum altitude of around 5 meters.
BVR is quite fun now yeah :D
