Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

who said it’ll break anything?

it’ll be easy to counter at 10.0 which is why we’ve all been making fun of it the last 30 min

I still have yet to see justifcation for why the Mig-25 should be a lower BR than the F-104S ASA or Tornado F3 ?

Both aircraft not able to dogfight and reliant on similar BnZ tactics the Mig-25 will have to do

They’ll have a lower time to target than R24 but also a longer burning motor and less maneuverability, better for longer shots, worse up close. Also 55kg warhead means a close miss should still kill.

both are Better Dogfighters, both have Better missiles

Watch it be 11.0 or 11.3

It should also be noted that the F-104A ASA is an 11.3 plane at 12.0, and that it shouldn’t really be used to justify BR placements.

ngl I wouldn’t doubt that for a MiG-25PD

F-104 vs MiG-25? love to see that one go down, are maps even big enough?

R-40D sounds on par to Skyflash STs

R-60s and 9Ls are just as useless most of the time

Mig-25 is faster, a lot faster.

It’s probably where it should be tbh

yes the F-104S will just slam the MiG-25 in the first pass and it’ll be over

Not gonna lie, but (at least in ARB) the Tornado F.3 doesn’t even work as a BnZ plane.
You cannot really outrun most of the competition lol

No, not anymore, not since its nerfed top speed.

Use to be able to outrun a few though

11.7 is the maximum acceptable; the correct value for him would actually be 11.0 or 11.3.

If its 11.0, it has no CMs, none.

Probably also no R-60Ms or R-40TDs so no all-aspect.

Only way that is even remotely balanced

Given that something similar, large but fast like the F-111A has Aim-9Bs only 0.3 BR lower

It really just depends on how gaijin decides to model it, it likely will be shrunk and twisted here and there a little bit to fit the game.

Don’t need CMs when you can outrun most missiles lol

Exactly.

Tbf you only get like 12-18 CM anyway? so you’ll need to be able to.

He probably wouldn’t even be able to use the R60M, as it’s insurmountable flying high; if he flies the MiG-25 at low altitudes, he’ll be a piñata for everyone to hit. I would only use radar missiles.
