Huh,. interesting. Few days ago on RU forum MiG-23-98 suggestion went through as “Approved by players”

They broke the long-suffering MIG-23 again, and the radar was damaged again. As you can see in the video, in a fixed lower position, if you put your nose on the horizon, the radar starts to convulse.

While scrolling thru secret projects i found an R-60M variant called the R-60M (izdeliye 63M).
According to the forum, the izdeliye 63M improved on:
“The seeker was replaced with a new bispectral one with an increased capture range (nothing else is known here), the analog autopilot was replaced with a digital one, an induction fuse from MANPADs was installed as well overdrive mode entered for the rocket motor. Adopted in 1985.”
Theres also the 63V which apparent is a 63M with an ataka radio reciever.
I dont know much about what this means or realistically the intricates about Infared missile guidance but im assuming its an upgrade. Would be cool to see it for the 29s and the 23-98 if it ever comes to game

Bruh. They should give back manual MTI. If they cant model that radar properly so they should give version which is most similar to irl one.

Interesting. Pitty that I cant see any other source which would mention that variant. Lack of informations is same like in R-24MR case but in that case there was much more sources about that.
A week ago, I came across a manual for the MIG-23MLA radar, which describes how to work with the radar. And it has an interesting description of some functionality, for example, the Doppler filter selection knob from 3 positions, front hemisphere, rear hemisphere and off, which suggests that this radar still has a Doppler filter, not MPI, but a filter by operating modes. So it is necessary to implement its 3 modes of operation: the selection of moving targets, the front hemisphere, the selection of moving targets, the rear hemisphere, and the usual search. Using radar will become a little more difficult, but it will no longer be useless.
Page 79 item “д”
"The radar works depending on the hemisphere of attack and the speed
of the attacked target using the switch PPS —MSCTS —ZPS.
- in the MSCC position, a low—speed target is attacked (the speed selection scheme is excluded);
- in the positions of the ZPS, the PPS is an attack from the rear and
From the front hemisphere in manual mode."
(the speed selection scheme is excluded). That is, let’s go from the opposite, if there is a switch that disables speed selection, then the radar can work in this mode.
The document is searchable, so you can copy the necessary paragraphs into the translator to translate.
Unfortunately without the cover

Yeah missing regimes are already reported in community gaijin. But Gaijin is too slow to implement it.

Thanks for file btw. I will look on that. :)

I have the same exact complaint and also source, the problem is that if we were to actually properly report this, wouldn’t we need the full combat employment manual? Like I don’t think Gaijin is going to accept some part of the manual as source without the full one.
In most cases, only the cover is important (on which the use fund should be written). If necessary, Gaijin can request a document from the archive by using the number on the cover. In special cases, you must provide a complete document.

I think everyone should contribute to this.

I’m tired of fighting it. This is some kind of theater of the absurd.
Gaijin is just not MiG pilled anymore, look at the MiG-23, the MiG-29s…
Fucked up radar, and the MiG-29s are underperforming like crazy and we’ve had like none in the past 2 years.
I also used to fight it a lot like you, but I just started to not care anymore even tho the 23 is one of my favorite planes, I just gave up I guess.
The mig-29 is overperforming in sustained rate… Is it not?
I doubt it, but regardless, the MiG-29 is a bad example I guess as it is close if not matching IRL performance, and perhaps it is the CL/CD that is fucked idk but I guess its the opponents it fights that are overperforming.
I’ve never heard the 29 overperforming in STR tho, by how much would it be?
I posted a chart
Damn so it is overperforming by like 2-3 degrees/s?
