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.
More than enough to save you if you make a mistake or get caught out.
Assuming as well theyd be large not standard
I’m pretty sure they’re large caliber, i think they’re the same CM that the Mig23 uses in a different housing. Still with mixed, that’s 6-9 pops, not a lot. Especially if you get caught out and they start dumping every missile they have to kill you.

Dunno how many CMs it would be able to carry. Personally I don’t really care about the MiG-25 (well, as long as it doesn’t end up being another F-104 at 9.3 situation)
I would rather have the Tu-128 or the Su-15 (or even just a interceptor Yak-28) than the MiG-25, but those seem to be way less popular than the MiG-25

I like mig 25. It is a good zoomie boi. Mostly I like how it fielded the largest A2A missile in history. Chonky missile go brr.
so much for submarines for 2025 then, really hoping they would be coming this patch!
sure, but climb to 19km first
hit
hey how fast do you think it goes at sea level just throw a guess
Oh, I thought it had the same ones as the early mig 31s. 60 standard should be fine then. I say 11.7-12.0, depending on how the R40rd/td get modeled.
If someone is stupid enough to drop low and stay low. Sure. It will be slower and not a major threat.
But unless the Mig-25 is balanced by giving it a max altitude of 10k ft, what stops a Mig-25 player just sitting at 30-40k ft the entire match running away from anyone and everyone that tries to kill them?
Also nothing stopping them from being high and fast, dropping down, firing a missile and immediately climbing away again.
Fuel consumption and a lack of maneuverability meaning you will hit the map border and be reset to 600 kph. The BnZ analogy is valid tho.

Unless they update or fix that.
Fuel consumption, sure… but they also just massively buffed AF AAs.
Well then they can adjust the br, but I honestly don’t see that changing any time soon. Frankly as I said earlier, I think 12.0 is fine. I just think 11.7 could also be fine due to a number of factors. Mostly involved in how gaijin decides to model it. Will it actually have a decent radar set like it had irl? Will it actually be able to pull more than 4.5g? will the R40 be modeled decently or very poorly? There are just too many variables for me to start with doom and gloom. To me spitballing a br based off how it performed historically, I say 11.7-12.0 is valid.
Well things are what they are, and changes aren’t made without reason. Creating gaps in the TT wouldn’t be a good idea.
He won’t be able to make a turn to go around anyway, they’re exaggerating the threat of the MiG-25 way too much.
