So i been having fun with the mig25 same as everyone today and its great love it but i have noticed some slight annoyances that hold the aircraft back with the radar lacking the ability to quickly scan targets that are very close to you obviously you can use a R40TD to try and kill target but if there are aware of you they can simply flare it off with it basically just throwing a missile away so if possible could we get ACM mode of some kind to help lock radar missile at shorter ranges
Please give your thoughts and suggestions oh this idea
Ps sorry for my bad writing i kinda suck at long paragraphs and stuff
It never had one IRL unfortunately.

I know your probably right but is there any evidence you can give?
You mean evidence for something an radar cant do?
:P

Yea i would like to see evidence
As I’ve mentioned in my chatting during my matches in the Foxbat recently, MiG-25PD is a situational vehicle but is far from a bad vehicle, the best set up is at best two thermal-guided missiles and two radar-guided missiles for best flexibility because eventually the furball will decrease and you’ll face enemies much close.

MiG-25 is an interceptor… its whole ‘thing’ is shoot telephone pole down range from very high alt and speed… What would it need an ACM for? P.S, just use IRST and then switch back to radar. Whether or not you have a friendly locked up is… well, fire and find out :P
one would hope the lack of evidence is evidence enough…

As the previous posters have said. Use irst close range switch it to radar if need be and run both missiles. Don’t bother with R60s.
I’m really enjoying this plane, I think it’ll go up in BR though and do yourselves a favour and go fly a phantom or mig23 now that high altitude actually has people flying up high.
This plane has finally forced a bit of verticality in matches. I love it.

The variant ingame did not have ACM mode, however:
You can see every target the radar can lock on the screen, i recommend enhancing the scale to the full 75mi when you spawn, but also, bind “select radar/irst target to lock”, you can see on the radar who it will lock (there will be two bars on the left and right of the target on the radar screen), then the BVR lock key will lock whichever target you choose, its not perfect, but thats the full extent of the radar’s capabilities. I think it can only lock within 32 miles, as well
(I can translate this to km if need be)
In terms of close range, dont worry about range, worry about the joust at the beginning of the furball, the foxbats that make it out get full range of the furball from above, R-60Ms should only really be used if you have to get into the furball to kill
Sorry if any of this comes off rude, or doesnt fit your playstyle, this is just what ive found most successful

How is it a situational vehicle? If there’s one, it’s always going to be around the top 3 in the leaderboard.
because it’s only good in certain high altitude situations
Not because it’s good, it’s because enemy is too bad. Check the planes it kills especially early game: No RWR or RWR unable to detect J band although they know they are in a 11.0 lobby with russia against them but climbing straight in anyway.
it’s good in low altitude as well, it’s weapons are a practically undefeatable radar with practically undefeatable missiles.
Is the A10 bad because it’s only good in ground pounding? I don’t know, every time I get into a match in A10 and people engage me I can get 3-4 gun kills. So far i’m 10k/9d completely stock and using aim9l’s to take down incoming radar missiles.
So is the enemy with 5 kills and 3 assists on an f-5c and two spare missiles dying to an r24r that hopped over a hill a bad enemy?
I can kinda vouch for this. MiG-25’s even if I chill with the MiG-23 are a pain in the ass to deal with. Mid-Lategame nuisances that can get a quick ace if left unchecked Having to chase down a MiG-25 to zone him out of splashing down unaware fighters became a quick priority of mine.
Sure its always dependent on the player, but having to struggle through 25 minutes of hell having to 2v1 MiG-25’s in both the AV8B(NA) and the MiG-23ML humbled me fast. Never again.
Its only good dunking on already highlighted targets from.heights it cant be touched. Cowardly jet, needs an increase in BR.
Jets it faces have no CMs and/ or Blind to its radar too.
No more dogfights at BR 10- 11 or dunked from space… Above this BR the RWRs actually pick the 25 up so it isnt as bad.
12.0 all day
I give you a sitiuation happening every single battle, and you come along with an example happen how often…1 out of 20?
you are comparing apples with oranges.
