lets just say that its better to play like f104 at 9.3, boom and zoom who we know worked very well against a f18a irl

If it has any form of PD radar. 12.0 is the minimum.
Those below 12.0 with PD have major performance restirctions. Mach 3 capable aircraft eliminates those issues entirely.
Even at 12.0 though, it would be incredibly annoying to deal with in pretty much any 12.0 and would be an absolute menace in downtiers.
I would assume a starting BR of at least 12.3

Exactly, destroy whoever is up high because they are capable of doing it before anyone can shoot at them, and then stay up there and watch the angry enemy team members down below because they can’t climb up to reach you. Go back, rearm, and do the same thing. If they climb up high to reach you, make a turn (you won’t) and get them.
Mig 23 radar but bigger. Only mti
I mean you can just flare the r40td but the big thing is you cant see it coming lol. Imagine how this thing will shake up sim at ~12.0.
What RWR would a 25PD have?
And assuming it gets CMs, I don’t think it would be higher than 11.3 since I’ve heard that it’s overall FM at lower speeds is sub par.
Depending on how its done, Id still say 12.0 minimum.
cant wait for 12.7 mig31b
IIRC it has either SPO-10 or 15.
I don’t think it can go above 11.7 because it would face F-14s, Kfirs C-10s, R27ERs, and that would eliminate one of its few advantages, which is its speed and ability to destroy anything in BVR. If it goes above 11.7, MiG-29s and F-14As will be a threat to it. And yes, that’s my goal: to make people angry at having to deal with it, making them climb high and then leave at above Mach 2.
wonder what gaijin is gonna do with the EFT because if it gets AESA it has to be a Trenche 4, but it would be flying with none of its weapons, not to mention it should have brimstone 2 maybe even brimstone 3s if its a Trenche 4
no big glide bomb ? i kinda bored with the the little one i have on the german eft
it has spo-15 on the pd variant.

Right, and?
So does the Phantoms or Viggen D with only Aim-7-E2s.
Should the Tornado F3 be 11.0 so it doesnt have to face F-16s? its also a BVR truck, only really suited for BVR combat, should it be facing any of the same aircraft you are worried about the Mig-25 seeing?
Right? and?
That is how uptiers work.
What is a Sea Harrier FRS1e or F-5C, etc etc gunna do about a Mig-25?
Only way its BELOW 12.0 is no CMs at all
Missing the 2000 LB EGBU-24. But not sure it has any form of Glide-bomb like that.

Well if what people are leaking is true, pl15 being leaked plus super hornet and AESA typhoons seems like were getting close to next generation Fox 3s. Could be that we actually are getting new weapons soon even if its not this patch specifically.

Is it’s flight model going to be that good to put it at 12.0?
I also want to know if it can accelerate enough to actually use it’s speed within the confines of a war thunder map.

god i wish it could use the double pylon same as the f18
Im guessing it will handle like a Tornado F3 but with triple the speed.
Just run away from everything and fire SARH missiles at targets.
It would be stupid to fight even in well equipped BVR trucks like the F3. Fighting it in something subsonic with only Fox-2s… Would be insane. Especially if it was below 11.7 where it could face things that dont even have an RWR.
Mig25PD has a climb rate of ~208 m/s so it should accelerate well enough i suppose, at least on the larger maps. City would screw you tho. Which since there’s airspawns now at top tier would it really matter that much considering you spawn at ~mach 1 anyway?
