Mig-25PD Simulator BR needs to be lowered, and its cockpit curtain needs to be retracted

People who have actually flown it will understand the MiG-25 isn’t a very good plane in Simulator battles.
Its performance is quite poor, and with the inability to swap to MTI mode as you wish, it’s hinders the vehicle more.

From things like the curtain blocking the player’s view to even worse things listed below:

The bad:

  • This plane breaks apart at 760 mph under 5km.
  • MTI doesn’t activate until your under 1.5km RALT
  • it has poor acceleration, about half of that of a MiG-23 as an example
  • no main cannon (this is just by design)
  • terrible visibility
  • wings snap at 650 mph during turning under 1km

The good:

  • max speed
  • R-40TD/RDs have a max speed of 4.0. Mach, after it gets up to speed, it has slow acceleration (If you can even lock something.)

Its performance:

Isn’t the worst, but isn’t very good either. I firmly believe making it a 10.7 in simulator would make the vehicle well balanced.

Manual MTI should be a thing.

Just as the ability to pull the dumb curtain all the way back so you can see in a 180° plane vs the 120° we get.

That was just an image for the curtain you can’t retract.

IF THATS what you took, my god, we are doomed as a species

The thing I said literally above it:

If you want to know my average altitude, it’s typically 6-8km up

i agree with the cockpit curtain but dude, i dont think you realize how busted r40td/rd is, if your not orbital striking with them its obviously gonna lose energy, sending that to any br lower than 11.0 will make it face planes which have a barely working rwr or any radar missiles to fight back with, for the matter of fact this plane went against f15s and managed to even damage one, just imagine this thing against 10.7/10.3 planes

So what’s the issue? MiG-25 is untouchable up there

According to you, someone who has never played it, let alone it in simulator.

Also, Dogfight missiles strongly disagree with you.

theres another issue, the whole point of this plane is that it can almost reach space and still stay relatively fast. fly higher than most radar missiles are even gonna care to see you then its good

personally ive had an amazing experience with the MIG-25, its extremely fast with radar missiles that can easily hit ~40-50km away, and IR missiles that can hit ~10km away with all aspect, aswell as having decent CM counts, all wrapped up at a comfortable 11.0

14

Exactly my point. It’s terrible.

What’s crazy is:

  1. Your negative in it
  2. You haven’t played it in sim.

@Morvran you haven’t played it at all, so please retract your vote. If you look above the votes I asked for people who have played it.
And your biased and downvote anything Russian as is.

I have it as a coupon to sell. I’m not interested in cruising at 11km being immune to everything. The missiles it has are very similar to R-27R and T, so no issues there despite your claims.

Which dogfight missiles? AIM-7E-2? It can only hit you if you let it at the altitudes and speeds you should be at.

17

so? just because i have a bad experience over the maybe dozen games ive played in it means i cant see its qualities and recognize “hey, maybe i just havent learned it properly yet!”

18

Your “immune” to something’s sure.

But you also aren’t killing anything.

19

Or it’s just bad

i have played it and its fine at its br, as all planes it has its pros and cons
