I still wonder where people get the “9.41SR” from, I’ve only ever seen it called 9.41/47, the 41S/47S is for MiG-29M.
Also… Personally I see the Yak-41’s line as the perfect spot for MiG-31 to go, since we still lack a spot for it.
I found it in the description of photos on russianplanes.net
Dunno if it’s official designations or not
But if designations there are correct then:
9.41 - Indian MiG-29K
9.41S - MiG-29M thats was shown on exhibitions only
9.41SM - MiG-29M purchased by Egypt
9.41SR - 29K purchased by Russian navy
Until gaijin decides to make it another even vehicle because interceptors. Or slap it after Su-25 because that line is pretty much done and won’t be updated (unless combat version of Yak-130 will get there)
Yes it do but hit rate of Fox-3 is there extremely low.
Carries 8x R-77 maximum like MiG-29M ?
9.41R from MiG-29KR
But 9.47 maybe MiG-29M2
It doesn’t. At least there are no visual confirmation like we have for 9.15. Every photo of 9.31 shows either R-73 or R-60M on the outermost pylon. Same goes for later variations of MiGs with naval wing - 29K, Egyptian 29M, 35
M2 was aimed for export, so it’s doubtful that Gaijin will add it as a tech tree. Maybe Egyptian version as a premium/event vehicle later down the line. And 9.47 is Indian 2-seater version, M2 used 9.47S chassis designation on exhibitions
i see books call the Russian air force MiG-35 as the MiG-35S 9.41SR and MiG-35UB 9.47SR also here is a sign from an airshow at kubinka in 2023 referring to an russian air force MiG-35 as an MiG-35S, so you sure designation hasnt changed at one point for these? Its not uncommon for russian domestic models to carry a different designation compared to their export variant
(and tbh these are more related to an 9.41 if we base it of what kinda of radar it has, its practically just an MiG-29M pretending to be an MiG-35)

Well, there’s plenty of internal changes in avionics for it to just be “pretending”, but airframe itself is 9.41/47 in pretty much everything, true
Best? Oh its so fun to fly anywhere on the map except a canyon and suddenly some shitty F-14 launches 20 Phoenixes on you. The only chance for Su-33 is to fly low or behind a mountain and then peek out guide the R-27ER and because its fast you will get the kill fast but like this youll honestly get like 3 kills max in a normal game with actual players. It should ho down in its Br or get R-77s. But yes its true overall its one of the best. Except still having SARH.
Brother, not being able to notch Phoenix or F-14 radar is honestly a skill issue. And ER is pretty easy to guide considering that you have entire minute of a suspended datalink to reconnect or to switch target. Su-33 will suffer in heavy uptiers against 13.7-14.0, but this is compression issue that gaijin will never fix, so just play better, you have tools.

The 9.31 should be able to 8x R-77
It has more or the less same airframe as basis
Folding wings might impose weight limitations on outermost pylons. And, as i said above - there are no photo evidence of it being armed with 8xR-77.
The most they have is 8
and they’re pheonixes, not particularly hard to avoid
Meanwhile you get what is probably the best missile in the game (R-27ER)
8x of them too
front section of the rudder section is wrong in game, the CM mounts were deleted on the MiG-29M and moved else where

Hmmmmm,
Well according to the MiG bible they simply just call them “9.41R/47R”
Spoiler
and regular K/KUBs are just referred to as 9.41/47s.
Spoiler
Rather interestingly too, MiG-35 '154 Blue is referred to as 9.15D.
Spoiler
And on the topic of MiG-35s, MiG-35 and 35D are called “9.61/9.67”
Spoiler
Still need to look further for export designations though.
This goes alongside the modern MiG-35 dual seater being MiG-35D. And, well, 154 airframe is 9.15 after all.
This ones i think were only the ones shown at MMRCA, and nowhere else. But i might be wrong

I mean it says they were given the designation 9.61-67, I would assume they wouldn’t just give out a brand new designation for a trial…
How peculiar…
MiG-29Kr/KrUB → 9.41R/47R
MiG-29M/M2 → 9.41S/47S
MiG-35/35D → 9.41D/47D
… how can MiG be as convoluted as Sukhoi…

is this from the mig bible?
