if that how you think it is, then all 80+ kill of the f15 combat is just luck bcz he only keep fighting 3th gen fighter mig21/23

F-15 downed 2 MiG-29 in one go
The F-16 been around for less time but has been far more successful. It only shot down newer aircraft like 2 times, it just got lucky a couple times
that why i said 80 or more and not all of the kills
That isn’t luck though, just being better
better at what ? wining a dogfight against no experieced pilot who crashed and damaged engine ?
yeah sure dont waste my time again and go in the proper topic, this mig25pd not mig29

Migs from a country that didnt had the r-73 at the time and badly trained pilots
But hey the F-15 is so great that it got hit from a r-40 which predates the F-15 by around a decade

I see we have entered the level of 5th gen discussion aka “My jet did X so your jet is bad”

Looks like it’s coming for the Christmas event.
Also with R-40RD/TD missiles

Good. Hopefully they won’t forget that the R-40RD should also have the proximity fuze deactivation button to be used against ground targets.

Doubt. It just gonna be another Phoenix-esk missile
I really don’t want the main variant to be event-only. I hope we get a TT version like the PDS/PDSL besides this one. Honestly the event one should be the PDS, maybe even the P so we get the actual mass service versions as the TT
Tbh best chances of being actually added to TT have MiG-31 for being more… “traditional” with it build-in cannon and better low altitude performance

I agree
That’s unfortunate. As R-40s have actually been used against ground targets IRL.
As unguided rocket?

Nah, Soviet pd should be event due to no cms and horrendous rwr while the pds should be tech tree due to better rwr and having cms
PDS dont have CM as well. PDSL got them. Only difference between PD and PDS is that PDS have double parachute and lack of ability to carry fuel tank on hull pylon. Both PD and PDS have same RWR SPO-15. PDSL got L006LM Berjoza-LM. If we get PDSL to TT I will be fine with PD as event.
