What Gaijin could do is add a MiG-23P that would go to BR 11.7 and then add R-24MR, R-73 missiles and fix radar on the MiG-23MLD and they could easily push it to BR 12.3 where I can have perfect setup together with Su-25SM3 (for simulator).
FR, and also add mig-23-98!

Oh yeah, it would be such a meme (not as meme as MiG-21Bison, but non the less)
mig-23 with r77 and HMD 😈
As long as it have good radar (which, let’s be honest, probably wouldn’t) it might just outright bully 4th gens (limited missile count, but imagine dying to a 3rd gen on your shiny F15 or F16)
Phazotron-NIIR Kopyo-21I radar) is what i found it to have, similar radar performance to mig-29,s.
i do agree to some degree, most russian top-tier radars ingame is underperforming after what i know
I believe that it could have the first version of the N010 Zhuk radar, I think it was first proposed for the MiG-23-98

What is R-24MR? Never heard of it
R-24RM is a rumored upgrade to the R-24R that improves performance against hovering (stationary) type targets and improved ECCM.

I think that MiG-23 line in TT should be improved by adding next planes and improve existing ones (BR are for simulator):
- MiG-23S - BR 10.7 - plane comparable to F-4C with R-13M and R-3R missiles able carry S-5 / S-8 chaffs
- MiG-23M - BR 11.0 - add ability to carry S-5 / S-8 chaffs (same for other MiGs)
- MiG-23P - BR 11.7 - plane which will replace MLD on BR 11.7, compared to current ingame MLD it lacks vortex generators for low speed stability, older RWR (SPO-10) and no CAS armament (technically it was able carry it and historically for pilot training it was armed by Kh-23)
- MiG-23MLD - BR 12.3 - addition of R-24RM and R-73 missiles (we assume fixed radar)

indeed all of this could work, if implemented right
I made some fixes in MiG-23P description.
ahh nice
So the MiG-23P would just be a MiG-23ML just in the TT; would the Raduga DL system for GCI help anything for the radar in terms of WT? And isn’t the radar itself similar to the MLA/MLD?
Currently ML, MLA and MLD radars are all same in game and all are nerfed compared to reality. Practically MiG-23P will be same as ML/MLA with difference that CAS options will be limited only to Kh-23. About Raduga DL, GCI mechanic is not modeled in game but idk if it help if it would.

The radiation warning system of this aircraft does not detect radar radiation from the Phoenix missile???
Only MLD can
