Wowowowow hold the phone, PD? In the MiG-23MLA/MLD? Like actual Pulse Doppler?
It isn’t a PD, this discussion is very old.
I always knew those modes used a doppler filter to avoid locking chaff and be used as a pseudo SD mode when mti was not available.
It’s not search PD but once target is locked it has basically the same effect

If MLD got PD I think that would cause issue honestly.
Its already superior to the ML especially in sim, and in uptiers against f14 with a capable rwr. 11.7 is a rough BR and we all know why. 11.3 and 11.7 are completely different MM because of that certain undertiered bvr plane.
But you cant move the mld up and if it gets PD you cant move the other mig23s down bc there are tons of worse planes in the russian TT at 11.3 its just a mess. The result is the premium mig23 becoming an even bigger scam than it is.
An MLD with doppler mode on the radar for tracking and R-73s can absolutely fight F-14s
Didnt know about the r73s ya that would be good.
How is it a scam?
Objectively better option in the TT at the same BR of the same plane basically. SU39 for instance while being kinda shit, is much better than the TT version which makes it kinda worth it.
Obviously only the case if it just gets a radar and no r73
yeah the tt mig-23 is ofc better then the premium, but bc if you have the premium one most people don’t bother to grind the tt

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
