lol No where close. That’s like putting F-104A to 11.3.
11.5G at low speeds, not high speeds.
Not to mention the fact it could destroy its engines by just going into its afterburner.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the damn thing but it’s gonna be a challenge.
Mig 19 is ingame and that had one of the most engine problems in a engine mig 25 only chewed its engines at mach 3.0 and above
Your lack of understanding how jet engines work, and WT’s insistence on not killing players for min IAS’ing early jet engines, is a fatal combination.
The Mig-25 didn’t use a conventional Turbojet Engine like most planes.
It used a Turbojet specifically from a cruise missile. It had dozens of problems because of this.
Where would you even put it? It has no countermeasures and it’s too fast to go anywhere lower than 11.0. It has poor missile capacity on top of that.
It depended on how hard you used the throttle too. It could also have issues if you get too reckless with its acceleration. This probably won’t be shown in WarThunder though.
When you say dumb takes like this, your credibility is in the drain. Especially when you haven’t sourced your information about this “Super Plane”
Keep this topic civil and don’t insult other users if you want to move it to DM’s.
Please, explain to us how a turbojet/turbofan engine creates positive thrust in military power at 15 kilometers altitude, while at mach 2.
What percentage of the thrust is the afterburner? How much is the compressor drag?
It sounds like you’re specifically talking about the MiG-25P which had no countermeasures, no close range missiles and only had four R-40R/R-40T. I’d put it at 10.3.
The MiG-25PD/PDS could be fitted with countermeasures and had access to R-60/M and better R-40s (R-40RD/TD) those would be 11.0 and above.

Match them to MiG-23 BR’s, 23M at 11.0, 23MLD for PD/PDS.
The missile doesn’t need to track well if it kills you with a blast over 30 meters away.
It might just be better to add the Mig-31 Foxhound. (I’m only really educated on US tech so I might be wrong) However isn’t it just a s fast with better missiles and radar meaning it could be put at a more competitive BR?

MiG-25 and 31 similar thrust - weight - lifting area characteristics to an F-14, with substantially more at high speed.
10.3 while being faster than a Starfighter?
Just add both? MiG-31 as a TT jet and MiG-25 (whichever variant) as an event or squadron
Well I was saying the Mig-31 for rn becuase the 25 will be hard to balance
BR 9.7 seems more better since it doesn’t come with countermeasures or a machine gun, but it does have great speed. I also think it should most likely enter as a squadron vehicle because of its performance and a few minor issues with it.
thats what i said add mig 25 PD as sqaudron and mig 25 regular as event
EXACTLY but then most 9.3 cant catch it so it will need some balanceing the standard mig25 with only r40 is fine 9.7 but the pd 10.0 minimum
You want someone to explain supersonic engine design in a game forum?
Better you just go study engineering for 10-12 years and tear down a SR-71…
