Grinding the MiG-35 at the moment, 100k left
It seems like every autopilot is bugged right now lol
wouldnt make sense to put the Kh-31 with a Mach 1.5 launch speed limit on the Mig-31
The way the missile was launched just gives me “whatever go my scarab” vibes lol.
The MiG-31BM had Kh-58’s with probably similar launch speed restrictions, same M1.5 ingame.
And the Kh-31’s are already naturally heat resistant while the MiG-31 is cruising, so still works in a way, just have to slow down to launch
the thing why launch limits exist is to ensure safe separation of the munition with the aircraft
not necessarily the missile not being able to handle the speed itself
I’m aware, I’m saying they already put Kh-58’s on the MiG-31BM, and that wouldn’t handle the on-rail cruise speeds as well. If anything, the Kh-31 makes a bit more sense.
edit - or am I thinking of the MiG-25BM?
not in production tho
I might be thinking of the 25BM
yeah, most likely that one. MiG-31 never got any actual upgrades for A2G, only proposals

MiG-35 in dogfights rn
is that a optional fuel tank to replace the second seat ?

yeah but this one is a differrent model.
9.41Kr while on balta image is 9.47Kr which is a dual seat.
one come with it as the 47 has option for it.
Ah fair enough
I wonder if reverse conversion is possible. Take out a fuel tank from 9.41 and slap a second pilot cockpit in its place
the MiG-35 FM is pretty funny. I really didn’t expect to do a full Backflip.
Most Flankers probably would’ve locked up around here
But the MiG just keeps it speed and continues through the turn.
It’s the fuel tank for the 9.41 I think they just included it to show the differences
