It’s really a brick where it’s at. It’s gimmicky. Under the right conditions it’s very hard to kill but those conditions are 1. hard to reach and 2. don’t last long in ARB. You can counter the MiG-25 entirely by just flying low. Also, what planes does it face that don’t have an RWR without having some really good offensive armament or high speed?

the drakens would be my guess but they’re not suffering

I dont even know what im doing in the mig25. just played a game. team melted and theres 5 enemys left. I kill 1. one dies to AF. the remaining 3 try to run me down for rest of game (no chance)
I just put it 15km, floated about and watched football. won on tickets. IMO it needs to go up in BR.
One of the kils I got was a 8km dunk, just sit in sky wait for team to get near an enemy and profit, pretty sure the fox 2 will do even more distance than that too.

Only good draken is the XS the D is meh and the F-35 while my favorite is definitely meh at 10.3
flying low is not a counter to an MTI radar

The MTI only activates below like 2-2.5km alt.

So higher alt than what “flying low” means? Above that altitude it’s not going to have trouble getting a pulse lock anyway

Mig25 really shouldnt be flying that low in general.
Flying low does prevent its radar from locking though the IR are still a threat.

The mans right i just activated a avenger and dropped under 2km and sent 2 at the last player ftw
Looked a bit sketch shot at like 5km… they take a sec to track? Not sure as iv been sending them across the map till that
Still its the most sweaty jet in the game. But i understand why people are saying it cant go up. 0.7 up/down would fix it again. no more games vs flareless… nearly every game i played tonight has been 10.7- 11.7 and maybe 2 games 11.0- 12.0 anyway.

Surprised they didnt multipath it
Yeah, it plays like a higher br sea vixen. You can clean up downtiers but struggle in uptiers.

One weakness that hasn’t been mentioned about is how the r40rd often fails to track when someone is going away from you(how ironic for a massive radar). Played the japan f4 at the same rating quite a bit and it didn’t really have this issue. I think the ussr radars are just abysmal at tracking at this rating.
I still agree it could possibly be 11.3; I haven’t played it much though. Ideally 23ml should be two rating steps above it though or more.
I think it is more due to the missile’s seeker than the radar.
Yes, i really hate using the russian radar. Most are stuck with a single scope and slow scanning. At least the mig23 gets ACM.
I could see it going to 11.3. Any higher and they become free food for 12.7 jets.
Though that would give my aim54 some rasty treats.
Biggest threats are other mig 25s, and snapping wings up to now
Other better players with discipline with be untouchable really, unless you catch them landing/ taking off… especially on the snowy mountain map, jet doesn’t want to even get off the floor lol

Yes I don’t know any technical stuff but ussr radars/their weaponry on this and I think the 23m/mf legitimately make them near completely fail rear aspect
literally just hug the ground and they are a worse F-104.

no.
flareless planes only need to worry about R-40TD, and the Foxbat can only carry 2 of them.
also it doesn’t have a cannon, and the radar can barely get a lock due to it being a very primitive BVR mode only radar from a MiG-23M. also it’s a brick and can’t turn, the only time u will see the MiG-25PD turn “decently” will be around 800km/h, so if u get a lock on it, pretty sure it will not be able of notching (it’s even worse than a Tornado).
up BRing it would make it face exageratly OP planes that the Foxbat has absolutely no way to defeat (F/A-18A, F-15A if it goes to 11.7) and it would get absolutely stomped by them. btw the Foxbat has a super ugly RWR that barely works, it doesn’t give u LAUNCH warnings and only works in 4 directions which makes notching extremely hard.
get good or don’t play 10.0.

dawg it literally is because it only activates if the mig25pd gets dangerously low and throws away it’s one advantage
1.4km
My bad. I never see it when i use the mig25 so didnt remember.
I would prefer the mig25 over the f104. But that could be because i just hate flying the 104
