Actually I don’t know if it’s before or after launch, it doesn’t specify in it
R-38? Eh?
The plane drawn is target?

I can understand all that, but you were the one talking about the MiG-23M/MF for retrofitting R-24s. And while yes they had that fuel tank section issue, I’ve never heard about the R-29-300 having actual problems.
i don’t remember exact source when i heard that. But anyways, between getting ML or upgrading MF airframe imo ML is obvious choice.
Well probably not too much because they already did that (MiG-23ML and his radar).
it was a one-off thing, like a fever rush, you know.

@kizvy Have you looked into the underperformance of the R-23/24 as well? Turn radius on these is horrid compared to irl.
Here it shows it can briefly peak 24G at only 0.3 mach whereas in-game… well let’s just say it isn’t doing 24G off the rail at 0.3 mach.
24g at mach 0.3 seems a bit questionable…
plus doesnt it have the few seconds delay?

Couldnt be Пкр be a critical overload?
i think that it is at 0.8 mach not 0.3, which would also makes more sense.

I was thinking it is talking about maximum overload during booster burn when launched at that speed, but I think this is more likely correct that it can pull up to 24G at mach 0.8 and after about 5km alt that overload has dropped to just about 12G maneuverability already.
I think a lot of missiles are overperforming in maneuverability at altitude?
Of course at the top speed around 4 mach it is still doing 24G at closer to 13-14km… either way it is underperforming significantly in maneuverability based on speed and likely also turn radius etc.

Totally unrelated, but I have an idea to suggest. ML and better models could enable their IR seeker missiles to be slaved to the knob used to guide the Kh-23M, which is linked to the ASP-17 gunsight, etc. It could work the same way as HMD/HMS in-game if implemented. Afaik it was only for the R-60/60M

What is the performance in game?
What markings are you talking about? The fact that these are mock-ups is indicated by the absence of the windows for the proximity laser fuze.
Here’s the chart i was talking about
@ron_23
Gl trying to get to 40km altitude though in game… it’s why you can’t report it, plane just falls outta the sky
