Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Hopefully they add MiG-25 and 31 as well as revisit the Vipers

Please no not the 25

I hope they finish what they started with the new AAs.

Both figuratively speaking (adding new AAs to the nations that didn’t get one this update) and literally speaking (actually finishing the AA systems that they added last update).

I hope they also fix Sinai as that map is painful now

Need to have the runaway engines modeled too

What’s wrong with the MiG-25 though?

Hawk and later versions would be cool

It’s a gun less missile and nothing more, it will turn like a bus and players will abuse it speed like how LA 200

It can get R-60M and other shorter range missiles, it will be fine

MiG-31 solves the gun problem too, with a 10,000rpm 23mm that has 800 rounds max

Not capable of any other short range missile other than R-60
And even them only the PD version can carry

MiG-25 is subsonic on all real war thunder alts, it litrally can’t turn because G limit is 4, radar is trash
It’s will be DoA

My prediction is they will add new SPAA and then add something like ECM or ARMs to make them wholely irrelevant

Maybe not in the same patch but the one after

No R24 or R27?

mig23ml radar with more range

no

No
It carried only R-40s as BVR missiles

yeah in comparison to the others its lacking (not as bad as the EldE though) but comparing it to the regular Typ 81 its a massive upgrade.
we get basiclly 2 spawns for the price of one and with it double the missile load.
we get a radar albeit still buggy und unfinished from the feeling but still bedder then nothing.
and with the new ARH missiles we finally got a way to defend ouerselfs wich is not possible with the regular Typ 81 (until we get the proper maddog mode for the IR missile)

all in all its a good vehicle but gets overhshadowed by others.

Wake me up as soon as it gets good again

Yeah, I’d probably agree with this. Most issues it has that make it unpopular aren’t really gameplay related.

It just gets overshadowed by the SLM and suffers from the way the radar / multivehicle mechanics are implemented.

The only real issues are the unfinished radar and the bad implementation of the Lightwave missile, and one of those was an issue on the Type 81 standalone launcher vehicle already.

i play mig23 and i don’t see myself calling it bad.
it’s not the end of the world if your plane doesn’t have APG-81

Japan players must be really bad if the Elde is worse…



Statistically the second best SPAA in the update despite it’s issues and miserable ammo count

It’s not awfull, i know
But compared to what it used to be and what can be seen on basically the same BR, it’s crap.
It’s slow, lacks true PD mode, close-combat mode is inconvenient
