USSR is finally getting mig25 tho, while it likely wont be game changing, it’s still a long awaited addition and frankly just paves the way for mig31.

Oh yeah, I’d forgotten! Thanks for making me stop crying over the Su-35. I’ll be flying MiG-25s until the Su-35 arrives next year.
I don’t expect this vehicle to be relevant at all unless given missiles superior to everything else in the matchmaker, the flight performance is garbage

Its a fiction plane, ofc things will be wrong
And it really won’t, I remember when F18 first came out, the number of top Americans saying “now Russia is cooked” on the dev stream made me laugh a lot, how is F18 going to change anything?
I genuinly do not know how they will balance the Mig25… it has no gun, no countermeasure, has extremely low G missiles, is an absolute brick and can only go fast in higher FLs.
Put it too high and it cant defed itself whatsoever, and put it too low and there are no targets that it can engage because non of the planes climb high enough where the Mig25 can use its speed.
I have no idea where they will put it.
Which is bs looking at what’s being added in this one but oh well.
I mean honestly, Mig31 is one of the russian planes I’ve been waiting for. If they are introducing new longer range fox 3s, Mig31 could come in spring with R33, maybe R37, and even carry the Kh31 and Kh58 arm too.

Since it will have MTI, R60m and R40, I think the 11.7-12.0 bracket would suit it best. Thats just my opinion tho and its 100% gonna come down to how the snail models the plane and new missile.
Jaguar 2 😔 Wake me when the marder 2 appears in the not a leak list leak
anyone who believed it’d be anything but mid was a fool, especially the F/A-18E which has worse flight characteristics than the C
Sry if i am mean but are you out of your mind? The max G overload of the R40s absolute best is 8Gs. I would put it at 9.3 and even that feels too high looking at the Mig21S
It’s what the players want.
MUH COUPON PRICES! RAHHH
Nyet comrade, only real money.

Safe to expect the teaser tomorrow?
They pull close to 15g but they accelerate like the fakour 90 unless i’m mistaken. They also have a massive warhead compared to most A2a missiles. moreover, it gets R60m, I don’t see that lower than 10.7 on a supersonic airframe. They could give it regular r60 only i suppose, but even then I still say its better than the mig21 because its so much faster at alt and on the deck, if they do give it countermeasures which i personally believe to be likely.

Is there any chance of the removed Sm.79/SB 2m/AR2 variants either returning to the Soviet/Italian tree with the reworked folders/ as a gift vehicle like HMS Churchill recently returned (albeit different circumstances)?
Me when I lie
The PD variant does actually get countermeasures. It get’s 2 pods mounted ontop of the wings above one of the wing pylons as seen here:

That’s not all pd variants. Most don’t have cms
I don’t remember when the kfir c10 event started last year, but I’m guessing the mig25 one will start a week or so later?
