Yeah, r-40 to r-33 seem to be all 4g target maneuverability, with the r-37 series being the ones with 8g
so how many Gs does the first Mig 25s R40s pull ?
def should be a sqaudron as that would be a horrible tech tree if you where forced to grind it

Agree. Wont be very useful plane but for simulator as interceptor can work so squadron would be ideal.

Giving flares to this jet (BM) will be pushing it as is. Only the PDs had flares as confirmed by images.
SUPPOSEDLY a MiG-25RBF was equipped with flares, which means an aircraft that shared the wing structure of the BM was given flares. But, for details on that you will have to speak to @Blitzkrieg877. I also have to note that the MiG-25BM was based on the MiG-25RBK and not RBF.
I have only included flares in this suggestion, because of his article and that claim. I found nothing else.
MiG-25RB series jets used ECM for protection. The P series variants did not come with ECM.
P.S This person’s article also contains a claim about a MiG-25BM being equipped with R-60 missiles.
No, I don’t recall them installing CM pods on the MiG-25BM, but they did on the MiG-25RBF. I think in 1981 they figured that they wouldn’t be able to use just its speed to escape threats anymore while doing recon.

Thank you very much. You happen to know where you read this info? So I can put it into the sources?
Also, what do you know about the R-60s on the BM, if you don’t mind me asking?
From this book Red Star 34: Mikoyan MiG-25 'Foxbat': Guardian of the Soviet Borders: No. 34: Amazon.co.uk: Gordon, Yefim: 9781857802597: Books, the MiG-25RBF section
Much like any aircraft at the time with the option of R-60Ms for self defence, the MiG-25BM used dual APU-60-2 pylons, so it utilized four of those missiles if arranged

On a separate note, do you happen to know anything about the S-24 unguided missiles fitted to the RB-series bombers? I recall reading about it in your posts about a specific RB model.
iirc bvvd or one of the community managers stated that if the 25 ever came to the game, it would be as an event vehicle since it would be hard for them to balance. I think we’ll see the 31 in TT tho.
