Mikoyan MiG-31M "Blue 057": an Interceptor Like no Other

Then don’t fly low altitude. While I agree on that BR assesment it also just makes the issues of its speed and climb rate more extreme.

15g overload and 4g target overload- pretty poor. Comparable to something like an AIM-7D, not an R-24.

You have yet to provide any sources for countermeasures on the PDS. Your arguments consist of “trust me bro” and “let’s just make it up”

Regardless, why don’t you go make a suggestion for the MiG-25 instead of crying over it on a suggestion for a different vehicle?

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.

Where would you guys place this in the tech tree?

MiG line, either before or after the SMT

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

Sounds reasonable

Still wonder why it’s not added…

Because it would be horrendous to fly

You think? I honestly think it could be a fun jet if placed at the right br

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.

+1, my beloved mig31

It’d be better than an F-104
