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

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.

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.

A larger R-24R/T is not game breaking, nor awful

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

@warthogboy09

Just straight up wrong

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.

Higher maneuverability, countermeasures (ignoring your delusions about the MiG-25 having countermeasures), R-33s, PESA radar, and the cannon. A competent BVR platform still able to defend itself at close range and with a comparable counterpart in the F-14. Compared to the fastest combat aircraft ever built and otherwise a relatively useless vehicle.
