Nah thanks, I’ll just go back to my Ouragan, I’m tired of the sound of my rwr screaming at me
Where Mig 31?

Based on?
So… basically the same as the Su-30SM2 with something like less than ~16 countermeasures ? xD
Fair enough xD
Probably in the pipeline, destined to be USSR’s next event or squadron vehicle or something.
(Can you tell I still disagree with the MiG-25PD or MiG-29M being an event/squadron vehicle?:)))
I need Mig 31
Which one?
All
Based on this report of underperforming antenna configuration Community Bug Reporting System, the Su-30SM2 presents itself with extra L-150 knobs on the back and under the nose, meaning it might have full coverage with those, such knobs aren’t present on the Su-35, leaving it with ±30 elevation.
And based on the fact that the Su-30SM2 uses 112 countermeasures IRL

Nah that would just be annoying.
Really only 2-3 variants would need to be added. The rest are redundant at things a Su-35 is perfectly capable of doing.
Variants in question:
-
MiG-31, baseline version with R-33, R-60M. Could be “swapped” to include MiG-31BS instead as War Thunder’s ‘initial’ MiG-31.
-
MiG-31M, upgraded version with R-37, R-73, etc.
-
MiG-31BM, multirole chunky fast boi. R-37M is literally its whole personality
-
MiG-31K, quite literally a one trick pony as it’s the only one that “only” carries Khinzal (can also be fitted with r-73 if I recall) and would be the least likely to be added since it does literally nothing else in the Russian Air Force.
Fine, Su-35 still better :P
IRL it surely is, since the SM2 shouldn’t have neither the IRBIS nor the AL-41’s, the WT SM2 stole the Su-35 show by bringing its main upgrades.
Irbis I understand, but AL-41s are documented enough to come to the conclusion that it has (or would) have them?
Can’t wait for the “sudden” nerf down the road for the SM2’s rightful Bars radar xD
MiG-31, baseline version with R-33, R-60M. Could be “swapped” to include MiG-31BS instead as War Thunder’s ‘initial’ MiG-31.
Personally,
MiG-31BS (31B aka the standard “first” model, with an IFR probe) w/ 60Ms/33S
MiG-31BM w/ R-37M/R-77-1/73
Maybe like, some schizo MiG-31BSM for the future if it ever gets R-74M, Izd.810/180, etc
and MiG-31I as an event/squadron aircraft.
If things stay as they are Su-35S will be worse excluding weaponry options and MAWS/LWS
Something something Su-30SM2 being incorrect weight wise therefore lighter than 35S, ignoring the STILL missing extra CMs, alongside the available increased RWR coverage
Yeah but like I could also have all
AL-41F-1Ss have only extremely recently been supposedly fitted to some 30SM2s, this wasn’t the case back when it was added.
By ‘extremely recently’ do you mean like yesterday?
Also:
Any photoproof of that?
I thought only testbeds did so far.
Tbf you also used “supposedly” so maybe not.
I’ve only heard rumors so far.

I wanna cope that one day it will be shown with the R-77M, paired with R-37M’s it might be an interesting combo.
Inshallah MiG-31BSM w/ izd.810, 180 and Izd.300 (the program has totally been restarted and is about to make it to service this time trust me)))))))))

Eh, it should be able to fit anyways. Just a tad bigger than the R-77-1.
Inshallah mig shall make an MiG-35SM with wing tip R-73s, BVP-32-50 instead of BVP-16-50, LDIRCM turret, Zhuk-AM and upgraded engines with 10000kgf
Trust me
