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

You don’t happen to have this manual available? Would be even better if it’s in Russian

ingame i was actually going mach 2.2 idk why the replay says 1.71, it seemed to have not gone over 1800kph

I do all three of them, on aviation archives you can find them and its safe to download stuff there. Its in english as those are the manuals captured by the US after 2003 or desert storm

Huh, just noticed something… the radar makes two passes for top and bottom sectors. Wasnt it fixed a while ago for radars in general?

Not for MIG-23 and MiG-25. There is a bug report, but still haven’t been looked at by gaijin

Ah, thats explains

Also… flaps should straight up not work above a certain speed?

Just like a Fox 3 but nothing like a fox 3 lmao

Yeah unlikely it’s based of a single website that doesn’t cite any sources, it used to be listed on Wikipedia for years but Got took down recently.

R-33s is the nuclear tipped variant afaik

Uuuuh

cant you think for 1 sec ?

you launch in tws, you keep target in radar, no hard lock. until its hit.

just like fox3 but with no final lock from the missile.
launch in tws / provide DL / hit target.

have you played the game ?

I think it’s super funny that there’s like nobody complaining that the MiG-25 is broken anymore and most of the people crying Russian bias has noticed it’s super mid and gimmicky.

Is it fun? Yeah. Is it game breaking? No.

To be fun is enough reason to have another one or two in TT. :D

Much agreed. The MiG-25 is a unique and super fun vehicle, and it’s a shame it isn’t in the TT.

Just your usual critter behaviour. Give it another week and people will completely forget that MiG-25 even exists

There is 25P, but it is pretty much just worse version in every single metric, so i doubt it will ever be added. So only some testbed or a prototype, but i doubt gaijin will go for that. Tho ngl i would love to have one in a TT as well

There’s this one guy on here I do really like, I won’t name who it is but he really likes Naval and the Eurofighter.

I remember him ranting about how the MiG-25 is gonna be super OP and it needs to unironically be like 11.7.

But I haven’t seen him in here in days. :p

Tell me about Morvran without naming Morvran

i can see MiG-25PD at 11.3, just so it won’t put too much pressure on already struggling 10.0s. And there is barely any 12.3s outside of EJ Kai and russian bias mobile aka F-18A so MiG-25 won’t be in too bad of a situation imo

The R-33 part was corrected, wasn’t intentional. I know the R-33 was SARH. The rest, kindly do tell me what’s wrong and provide any sources necessary. All the sources are listed at the end of the post.

I was trying to be respectful and not name names- But yeah lmao.

Yeah I think it would be okay at 11.3, but definitely NOT 11.7. I don’t think it really NEEDS to go up though.
But we’ll see.
