MiG-25 'Foxbat'

Well PESA not ASEA. Also has R-33 armament to go toe to toe with even tomcats. You also get chines a wider amount of ordnance as well as a gun I think it’s a Gatling. Lower top speed but fits almost all the issues of the MiG-25, what a wet dream. Maybe 20 years. Also has IRST!

Even externally, their resemblance is superficial. Avionics and engine wise, they are very different.

 

While "absolute top speed" might be a wee bit less than MiG-25, the 31 can actually be very fast at lower altitudes too, unlike the 25.

Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V

Hi...i bet the F-14 came late to service no one could make variable geometric wings on supersonic jets...i bet no one knows the active duty service inicial date of the F-14...so the F-14 is much younger than the FoxHound not a real comparison here.

 

1: The MiG-23 was the first variable geometry *fighter* to enter service, and was in service a few years before the F-14

 

2: The F-14 went on it's first cruise aboard the USS Enterprise with VF-1 and VF-2 in September 1974 and flew top cover for the evacuation of Saigon in 1975.

 

3: The F-14 is older than the Foxhound, younger than the Foxbat.

MiG-31 would be very nice, indeed. However this plane is as huge as family house with turn radius size of Germany :P

Nonetheless, I would love to fly this literally brick.

Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D

64,000lb unarmed weight. Welded by hand. Exposed rivets. Maximum g-load with full tanks 2.2G.

 

Yeah, it's a brick!

 

*machine velded (seen the welding process)

**no actual exposed rivets the way they are described, the plane is very smooth overall from aerodynamic viewpoint

***Empty mass 20 000 kg, 15 000 kg of fuel

****G limit 3.8 for the recon variant, 4.4 for the fighter variant

 

 

Further, both MiG-25 and 31 are surprisingly manouverable; we are speaking of quite a large wing with Cy_max of 1.1, possibly more for MiG-31 thanks to the wing glove, but actual value would be classified ;)

We really need this plane to compete against the Tomcat!!! So we have our balance in the game, Don't you agree?!

 

Now the F-14 is ruleing the skies but if MiG-25 got into the game the sky is not 100% owned by the tomcat...!

Surely with the 15, 17, 21 and 23 represented, the next logical step is the 25. Like the Viggen, I really enjoy it when DCS brings an unusual aircraft into full fidelity module. The F-14 really opened up otherwise unrepresented long range BVR combat, which is fascinating. The 25 would give us something we couldn’t just turn fight in, and instead use different tactics and immense speed/altitude to defeat threats. It’d be a unique experience.
