This is a machinery discussion not something alse

Why Gaijin should add the MiG-31:

  1. Historical Importance:
    The MiG-31 is a crucial part of Cold War and modern Russian aerospace defense history. It was the first operational aircraft with a Zaslon phased-array radar and could engage multiple targets at long range. It represents a huge leap in interceptor technology.
  2. Unique Gameplay Potential:
    Unlike fighters or multi-role jets, the MiG-31 is a dedicated long-range interceptor with powerful radar and long-range missiles (like R-33 or even R-37 in later versions). It wouldn’t be overpowered in close dogfights but would provide a new, strategic role in Air RB or Simulator – something no other aircraft currently offers.
  3. Fits the Current Meta & Timeline:
    With 4th-gen jets and long-range missile combat being added (e.g., F-15C, Su-27, AIM-120, R-27ER), the MiG-31 fits perfectly into the growing high-tier meta. It’s also a logical counterpart to fast interceptors like the F-14B and upcoming more modern threats.
  4. Visual and Performance Appeal:
    The MiG-31 is a visually striking, twin-engine beast capable of Mach 2.83, with powerful afterburners and long-range engagement capability. Players are always excited about big, fast, and unique aircraft – and MiG-31 is all three.

I mean technically seen the plane is more or less just a missile carrier for extreme long ranges. So the gameplay is taking off, firing missiles, land & repeat.

The whole potential of the plane is based on using very long range missiles and outrange the missiles of the enemy aircraft. Unique? Yes. Tempting / thrilling / demanding? No.

Yeah, looks awesome! 👍

I love AI but the formatting is usually a dead give away. Not sure why people cant just use it to find sources and ideas then actually type a real post. Its just comes off as extremely lazy.

Like im reading an email from HR instead of some gamer on a forum.

Please dont use AI to create posts, and to instead use your own words and formatting
