I found this on the R-37M:

“Дело в том, что, несмотря на максимальную скорость на маршевом участке траектории в 6М (6380 км/ч), конструктивный запас прочности Р-37М позволяет ей реализовать собственную перегрузку лишь в 20—22 ед., что обуславливает максимальную перегрузку поражаемой цели в 7—8 ед.”
(“The fact is that, despite a maximum cruising speed of Mach 6 (6,380 km/h), the R-37M’s design safety margin allows it to withstand only 20-22 G-forces, resulting in a maximum target G-force of 7-8 G-forces.”)

20Gs for a Mach 6 missile should be plenty in a War Thunder environment methinks

It actually can use R-27s as well, that’s interesting. Tho probably not very useful cosidering the speeds at which MiG-31 is flying

Yeah considering what it is, it’s enough

They even considered them for the MiG-25, iirc it didn’t happen because the R-27 was not designed to handle the temperatures at the speeds the MiG-25 was designed to operate in.

why use R-27 when you can use the bigger telephone pole that the R-37 is
