There is no reason to suggest a MiG-25(PDS) would go any higher in BR than the F-4E or MiG-23M(L). Its slower than most of its contemporaries at low altitude.
A larger R-24R/T is not game breaking, nor awful.
Just straight up wrong.
The point of the MiG-25 in-game to essentially be able to carry 2-4 R-24R/Ts (R-40RD/TD). You might have no use for this, but those trying to cull the herd of RB-tourist zombers in ASB certainly do.
I also want the MiG-31, but that will sit at too high of a BR to be useful against F-111A or F-4 spam.
Those are not the numbers I have seen, nor the ones on the discussion thread.
Your own comment literally states the PDSL… Which is just a PDS further modernized, which is all the Devs need for a realistic implementation in-game.
Strange, I thought there already was one yet can’t find it now. Guess I can take care of that this evening. Either way I’ll talk about it anytime I see someone spewing about the Foxbat not having a place in-game. And it certainly has a point in a discussion about the Foxhound as that is just even farther in the hyper-specialized role regardless of the useless inclusion of a gun on the airframe.
Ideally in a new line of aircraft. Following on a number of other jet interceptors- Yak-25/26/28, possibly Su-9/11, Su-15TM, MiG-25PD, MiG-23P, MiG-31, MiG-31B
If not a new line, probably either the MiG or Yak lines
And when has that exactly stopped Gaijin? Multiple aircraft in-game have countermeasures and even weapons they never actually used or even tested IRL. Knowing Gaijin, they will absolutely add CMs to something like the Mig-25PDS.
The long-range missile is designed to engage airborne targets (fighters, attack aircraft, bombers, military transport aircraft, helicopters, and cruise missiles) at any time of day, from any direction, and in all weather conditions — including under electronic countermeasures (ECM), and against the background of ground or water surfaces.
It supports multi-target firing using the “fire-and-forget” principle.
