Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 & MiG-31 Foxbat / Foxhound - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

because there is no source stating how fast the Su-27 can go

but its almost like that there is recorded evidence that the mig-25 was able to go faster

okay another example is mig-23ml. irl it was able to go mach 2.5 or even up to around 2900 kph but in game its limited to mach 2.4

then report it

True, I’d trust him on the MiG-25s capabilities

no im not because gaijin stopped accepting reports for mig 23 sustained. after riderr2 reported it they simpply left it overperforming. same with f5. why report stuff thats just gonna sit unactioned. i was gonna report mig 23 ml overperforming, even got the videos for it just to realize its fruitless because gaijin doesnt wanna change the mig 23. but mig 25 theyre willing to listen so i can report it.

ah yes you want the mig-25 to underperform in regard to what it was recorded to be able to do IRL

no im doing it cause that’s how it was in service but yeah if u wanna go that route, then sure, but again im doing it off the limits for service. which is fair to the other planes in game. if gaijin wanna listen then they wanna listen but if they don’t then they dont wanna. i just do the report, it is up to them to take action. Unlike what they’re doing with mig23s and f15

becasue for other planes its the only known values

you have aknowledged that the Mig-25 is able to go faster than mach3 irl

you arent doing this for historical acuraccy you are doing this becasue you are petty

because limiting the plane below what it has shown to be able to do isnt historically accurate

look man if you think im wrong then u can go report it being mach 3.5 for mig25 reconnaissance variant same with the 1300 ias on the deck for the rb variant

its service accurate which is what i care about

you apparently dont because a mig-25 did hit mach3+ while being in service

and?

gaijin bases rip speeds for every plane on the maximum allowable speed from the flight manual if its accessible.

so why should they not follow their own conventions for this plane?

ya ik but typical service it was limited to mach 2.83

because we have a higher recorded speed that it was able to achive

it apparently wasnt limited if it was able to exceed that

its the same reason why mig-31 is also limited to mach 2.83 in its flight manual (which i will not be posting here cause idk if its declassified)

and? we have higher recorded speeds for other planes too

but that doesnt matter because thats not what gaijin models based on

practical aerodynamics manual?

has anyone reported it?

has gaijin said that they dont care about that?

i dont think so

yes they have

and gaijin will just site the manual saying “this is what we use”
