The big one
That missile is really Aladeen.

Problem is that IRL it’s not a standalone system.
Switching mode is not implemented in game. Adding it as standalone missile can be good alternative to moment when switching will be available.
Indeed a problem. I believe they can simply allow the missiles to launch without lock, to activate this “direct-impact” mode. In a similar way to how unguided-rockets are used.
The Libyans did strap bomb adapters to its existing R-40 pylons, to carry MiG-25RB bombs. I got a picture in the armament section. That jet actually flew and went on a bombing mission. Problem is that jet crashed on this very same first mission. 😅

the mig-25 has a bigger thrust to weight ratio, and has incredible acceleration and climb rate.
I dont know what reality you live in, an f-104 is faster and more maneuvreable? It is neither.
Read a book instead of watching 80s documentaries please.

The dev stream already confirmed my post as containing correct information.
Mig-25PD TWR is 0.55:1 [confirmed] to 0.7:1.
F-104G’s TWR is 0.92:1.
F-104G pulls 7 or more Gs.

It got for some reason 2x ASO-2 (64x small caliber flares). I never heard that any MiG-25 ever carried them.

The Mig-25PD is known for carrying countermeasures.
And no, it’s not for balance.
It will never be OP at 10.7.

I’ve seen many photos and other evidence that it does in my memory (could possibly be other flare systems too)
I’m not that interested in the aircraft, so I did not have them saved, but they are out there for sure
Here you can see KDS-155 on real one MiG-25PD (left wing).
And here on MiG-25PDZ (right wing).
I never saw MiG-25 of any version with ASO-2 dispensers and I doubt you will find any evidence of them for the MiG-25.

That is indeed the evidence I needed to prove my own beliefs.
Thank you.
I must say that MiG-25 is on dev server much more agile than I expected.
I think same…in flight performance definitely.
i thought it was a mistake in the trailer but no. i really hope they give more cms and a fuel tanks. i am also okay with it being 11.0 or 11.3.
11.0 when the F-4EJ is 11.0 with better acceleration, general flight performance, combat speeds, and equivalent radar?
Let alone 11.3s that are even better.
The Mig-25 can’t win matches.
Granted, neither can the Sea Vixen, but at least with the Sea Vixen its lower altitude speeds are still similar to vehicles around it.
Mig-25 will be okay to good at 10.7, but OP it will never be.

yeah but the problem is a skilled player will use it as bvr plane, kinda like the f14a situation.
if it get a better radar/ more cms/ and a fuel tank/ rwr. i am 100% sure it need to go up at least to 11.0.
but for now its fine, not to forget gaijin tend to make event vehicules more op than the they should. exemple the f14 iran and the kifir c10 and even the bmd4.
