with this and the sheer number of other reports ive done on the MiG-23 series im hoping we get some sorta overhaul for them all at the same time in an upcoming major update with the new correct HUD, correct cockpits, correct AoA, correct IRSTs, and more realistic radar behavior/performance

Highly unlikely there will be physical model changes.
Here is another pic of MiG-23MLD cockpit;

1.Modification to the MiG-23MLD variant(23-18) Soviet Air Force…it was held from May 1982 to May 1985…
Spoiler
- In 1984-1985, 66 pieces of MiG-23MLD (23-22A/23-22B) were produced for the Bulgarian and Libyan Air Forces -Another (Factory) name MiG-23MLAE-2)…
Speaking of the MiG-23MLD, there is a theoretical possibility to install an older canopy without a central pylon, as was the case with the some export MiG-23ML?
Namely, the central pylon restricts the view in the simulator quite a bit, and it would be nice to be able to change the type of canopy. I think the older canopy had problems at high speeds so in theory installing the older canopy would lower the top speed.
No Russian MLD’s had the removed cockpit bar that I am aware of.
It’s a pity.

I previously made a suggestion but it seems each time I make suggestions that await approval on the new forum they are simply deleted instead of accepted. On the old forum the suggestion was also denied outright which is highly unusual. Not sure if forum moderators had any ill intentions there.

What is the switch for?
This looks like radar screen:
this modification is just putting a MiG-23BN canopy over another MiG-23 canopy, it results in top speed being restricted to mach 1.75. This was only done in middle eastern airforces.
But it was technically possible also give it on MLD, wasnt it?
it could fit in any MiG-23 canopy it just wasnt done because IRL the crossbar was generally not seen to be as big of a problem since you can move your head side to side to look around it.
That is true, but in the case of WT it is not possible unless the player uses VR.
I recommend this keybind then, allows you to shift your head from left to right, I used to use it before I got Track IR
Oh, I thought it was just me. I’ve made 2 suggestions here and both have seemingly disappeared. (F-15C which was missing from their previously suggested vehicles thread and the L3Harris Vampire)
Hmmmm. Thanks you very much.
Yeah… I think they’re just deleting stuff to be quite honest.
The weird part with the F-15C one is that I contacted a suggestion mod prior to clarify that they didn’t have it previously suggested. Now the post isn’t even in the pending tab so i’ve got no way to retrieve and repost it.
