I mean this version. The Block numbers are a bit weird.
The most upgraded Block 20.

As far as Wikipedia says, the Philippines, Malaysia and Poland have/ordered the Block 70.
South Korea itself only operates the Block 50.

I swear to god if I lose my big maps in air as well as group

@Smin1080p_WT when can we expect the mig-25 and bmpt to go up in BR? The BMPT should be at least 11.7, and the mig-25 is facing RWR-less planes like the draken.

Well from what I know Poland will be the first one to operate the Block 70, and that hasn’t been delivered yet and there hasn’t actually been any news on it recently

Well the Mig-25 is mid so don’t know why you want that to go up.

Having 40 km super reliable radar missiles at 11.0 is busted. I can’t grind in my j35xs anymore. I get smoked by the mig-25 spam every match. The plane is just as opressive as the BMPT. Make the mig-25 11.7 and face viggens and such. Histoical and more balanced.

Honestly I’d be fine with any version.
I’d also really love to see any version of the Aermacchi M-346.

And the biggest question there is is IMHO:
WHERE IS THE F-CK-1?

That bastard child of an F-16 and F-18 really needs to arrive soon.

As oppressive as the bmpt might be pushing it

Yeah, but it’s still OP at its current BR. Facing a mig-25 in a j35 draken without an RWR is downright insane. The mig-25 could easily fight at 11.7 and it would be a fitting BR. I wanted to grind the gripen e in my draken but after the event it’s no longer possible sadly.

Combat-wise, I think the MiG-25 is fine at 11.0, but the speed makes me think that it definitely could move up to 11.3

I don’t think it would hurt to have it meet 12.3 planes

You think a 70% winrate and facing planes with no radar missiles is fine? Make it fight f16’s, viggens and such in an uptier, they are all from the 70’s.

I have been facing it while playing the Jaguar IS and I didn’t have much of a problem with it.

And a source for this winrate? Global winrate preferably since personal winrates only paint a partial picture.

I don’t have any problems with them in actual combat either, my main problem with them is that they are like the Starfighters at 9.3

They can just zip around, needlessly extending matches.
If ending matches by ground pounding wasn’t so inconsistent, I wouldn’t have any problems with it at all.
