But do you have any sources to back up the claim they obtained such capabilities? I’ve yet to see any proof that any MiG-23 ever receive HMD, let alone the other upgrades mentioned in the description you mage.
I’ll see if I can dig them up.
Also I wonder if the aircraft is still sitting there, the museum closed awhile ago. I’m curious to see if the two MFDs are in the aircraft.

Not a source but further proof these aircraft existed, but none saying if it had HMD or not, I will keep looking through some of my sources.
I know someone already mentioned it and I know BVVD already said France will get SAMP/T but I want this more, MICA VL:
I hope so…

It isnt handloaded. It too has a electro hydraulic loading with a drum style ammo rack. Just look at my suggestion
Improved proxy detection against recon drones and missiles/rockets
Wasting way to many missiles on stuff that the proxy isn’t reacting to for whatever reason
Quick question, does he know about the missiles? Because frankly I’d love to have Aster 30s, it really doesn’t bother at all me but I think people might complain
Smaller objects have smaller detection ranges for proximity fuses
Don’t think the range is the issue since i try to have it as centered on the target as possible, unless it struggles with even around 1m to detect things
Edit: Pic for good measures
nvm, that drone was “dead” and was just flying around for whatever reason, problem still stands with missiles and such tho
I found the vt1 to be pretty good i have no issues intercepting small targets as maveriks and kh38(if i get the lock in time)
It’s not a common issue but happens from time to time
i’ll intercept like 4 of them going towards me or someone near me and the 5th one will manage to bypass the missile even if it’s practically head-on
The current working theory is that developers think SAMP/T can use Aster-15 which has a range of around ~40-45km, not that they intend to add Aster-30. This is why it’s paramount that devs are informed SAMP/T doesn’t use Aster-15, so that plans can change and MICA VL is prioritized for next update instead.
Yeah, I imagine they think it can take ASTER 15s, but the day they release it and realize it’s not possible, it’s going to be funny.
One thing on my wishlist is that Gaijin uses all the money they get from hacker / bot account banwaves immediately coming back and buying premiums to hire some actual game and map developers. MAYBE even play testers too to figure out what needs fixed or changed.
Apparently they have now been informed SAMP/T doesn’t use Aster-15, so if that’s the case, then the only option or thing for them to do is to switch gears and add something else? But I’m hoping to get more clarity from Smin.
Where did you see that ?
i’d prefer not seing the Aster for now and see it introduced at least half correctly, instead of having a borked missile that falls off at 10 clicks despite being 450kg (special mention to the new SAMs added to Leviathans)
