The MiG-25PD's radar is unrealistically bad

I really do not think the MiG-25PD’s radar is accurately modelled in-game. It struggles to lock anything, even with no surface clutter at <10km distance where the radar returns should be very strong. It seems to just lose lock ridiculously easily (even a slight turn can defeat it), and even to try acquire the sky sometimes when you are trying to lock an enemy. Not to mention the very obvious lack of the BCV-ΔH mode on it, which was its only source of LD/SD ability above 1000m. It’s miserably bad at doing anything and I cannot understand that a missile-based interceptor could make it past trials with a radar that terrible.

Its has some quirks, but its actually pretty strong for its BR. Just spend more time getting used to it.

Yeah, it’s not great at searching, but it holds locks excellently.

That’s right buff it and push it higher, I don’t wanna see it with my 10.0s
