does the mig-31 have CMs ? if so where are they located ?
yeah and the r-23R is horrendous in game. r-23t is good though
mainly due to the longer guidance delay 1.7 seconds is horrendous, and autopilot, the r40 has a shorter minimun range, and since it has the seeker of the 24r, it has the short delay and also has ins which along side the massive warhead should be quite decent

yeah r23 act like aim7e so doesn’t pull form the get go unlike the r23t
but fr tho where is my beloved mig25 man its a bummer the didn’t add it yet
wait i forgot that they also have a dogshit variable gain, thing, they cannot turn untill 2.5s and they they just turn at 8g another 2.5s

so a pencil wings is more effective then this missile got it
at least R-40R doesn’t give RWR launch warning to any RWR because of the way it works (i think R-40RD doesn’t too but im not 100% sure)

shi is basically an r530
well thats better than the 2.5 G of the target overload, seems that the original r40s are not that bad afterall
R is pulse and RD homes on CW. However it would depend at the RWRs frequency range bc the frequency is higher than usual at 16GHz.
On the R, don’t think it would so but F3 Tacman mentions 2 frequencies for the MiG25P, 12.8-13.1 GHz and 9.1-9.7 GHz. Maybe 1 is for missile&tracking and another for search.
Read, (for example) and what happens to engines when over
Its not.
Only thing I see is you claiming those individuals have made claims. I have yet to see these claims.

RD uses inverse monopulse as it is based on the R24 seeker

what do you think continuous wave is btw?

Well, inverse monopulse is a distintively different guidance method, they are not the same, a aim 9m has an inverse monopulse seeker, the aim 9F uses a CW seeker, you can search by yourself the technical differeces if you want.
Edit, i misunderstood. him, i thought he was lalking about the seeker not the signal.
how does the R-33 compare to R40RD
Ka-bot 15 has made a video where he details his sources, this is what I am basing my claim on
r-33 has 4g target overload… so it’s pretty terrible… (rvv-bd brochure, rvv-bd is 8g, 8/2 is 4)
Spoiler
Just wanted to say thanks to those who found the 15G figure for the R-40 missiles. That Iraqi MiG-25 manual was not available at the time I first made this thread on the old forum.
I’m still around from time to time, checking all of my threads.
Sometimes that is a meaningless stat if we’re trying to figure out said missile’s maneuverability or ability to hit the target. Like the Phoenix, it’s most likely advised to any pilot operating with R-33 missiles to fire only when their target is pulling 4G because R-33s need to correct their path flight upon launch and fly high/loft. Firing them in dogfight scenarios wouldn’t be ideal. But their actual maneuverability in the air when tracking their targets is good.
