MiG-25PD weaponry buff

[Flanker_Thunder]

i have being thinking about it and i also saw it in the new loading screen for the MiG-25PD and i still don’t understand: why does the MiG-25PD can only carry 2 R-40TDs if it can carry 4 R-40RDs? the only difference between each other is that one has an IR seeker, and even in the loading screen of the Foxbat it shows how it has 2 internal R-40RDs and 2 external R-40TDs which is the opposite of what we have ingame (2 internal R-40TDs and 2 external R-40RDs).

imo, it should get the 4 R-40TDs since the radar is very bad and it would help a lot to have more IR missiles for a high-altitude interceptor that lacks a gun and good radar.

its for balence purpose. more long range equal more br changes.

same with r60m, i myself found out about it carrying 8 r60m and not 4. but balence and good source didnt make it to be in the game.

it doesn’t explain why the loading screen has the opposite loadout of a normal Foxbat.
why can they draw a plane with a loadout it doesn’t have in the same game the drawing is for?

cinematics and budgets.

good for trailers and good for money saving.
when you make a plane, you make the whole model, exemple. you dont wanna make the ecm model after 2 year of the introduction of the flankers.

make it now and save time for future.

su30sm having ecm pod while the ecm are not even in the game yet.
