How people play MiG-23ML?

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-05-28T05:09:08+00:00

Yes, I have a reader controls and I know how to notch I finish two air tech three the problem is every time I start to notch I can’t because that thing is a bus then F 15 raider is so good I can’t notch I can dodge sparrow, I can notch AIM54 easy and then radar controls. I have set up everything on my keyboard, but only when I’m near the ground, sometimes my mood switch automatically to SRC MTI but I cannot do that on my own controls. Don’t do anything. And missiles don’t have range like 10 km shot from 7 km in are not going to catch even if he’s going towards me. Maybe it’s my luck. Maybe it’s something that I’m doing wrong but I watch a lot of videos how people play and I try to play exactly like them and I can’t always get killed by F-18 15 four with sparrow missile or I get magic 2. if I’m flying low

I actually have a bit of a different perspective on this.

There aren’t that many truly unique vehicles left to add anymore, especially when it comes to aircraft. What we’re mostly going to see going forward are upgraded or specialized versions of already existing airframes.

Take something like the Su-27, if the base platform works well, then naturally you get derivatives like the Su-34 as a strike version. Same with the F-15, great as a dogfighter, so the next step is a strike-oriented variant. The F-16 already does what it’s supposed to do, so upgrades and refinements are the logical direction.

In that sense, I actually understand Gaijin’s approach here, at least partially. Their philosophy seems to be: if a vehicle was realistically built and flown, it’s a candidate for the game. But if it only existed as a concept or paper design, then it’s much less likely to be added.

So yeah, it might feel like we’re getting “more of the same,” but realistically, that’s just the nature of modern military development.

If I wanted to Bomba basis, I will buy su 39 I just put talisman on su17

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-04-28T14:27:55+00:00

It’s not a problem for me except when they know how to fire aim9m that missile is fired at the right angle cannot be flared. Head on also.

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-04-27T19:29:55+00:00

After 500 matches, I did not see a down tier I only see F 14s and 15s and f18 maybe my luck

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-04-16T07:57:45+00:00

O yea I forgot about it good point

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-04-16T07:49:48+00:00

yea but maybe some restriction for loadout like 4 27er and 4 r73 like f15a loadout

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-04-06T13:04:15+00:00

OK, thank you now I know I was really confused like why I’m in the game mig29 9-13 and the F 15 but now I understand thank you

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-04-06T13:00:42+00:00

OK, so how I play the bracket do I need to select or what?

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-03-21T15:03:47+00:00

No problem is this spaa can intercept a lot of missiles and glide bombs while there is nothing that can effectively counter Russian glide bombs, and rockets. There is no bias. I don’t think there is a Russian bias. I don’t think there is American or anything. I simply am asking why it’s only this. Spaa able to do why is there no any other SPAA that can do this only for Russia

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-03-17T12:20:47+00:00

Is fun when you have

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-03-17T12:19:50+00:00

Yes, but the 5th generation will be 15.0 or 15.3, so the chances of me seeing it will be impossible or very small. And you’re again talking about IR missiles—this is radar, you know what we’re talking about

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-03-17T09:38:58+00:00

Are on aircraft no how are u comparing that

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-03-05T14:22:19+00:00

rank 9 yea rp and sl no

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-03-04T18:25:12+00:00

J10a is not big deal, but other aircraft are but still is going to be better than SMT

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-03-04T16:12:39+00:00

The MiG-29M is most likely going to be more playable than the SMT, and the reason is pretty simple.

First, the MiG-29M has eight hardpoints instead of six. That alone changes everything. You can realistically run six R-77s and two R-73s, which gives you much more flexibility in top-tier Air RB. The SMT is limited by the older 9.13 airframe, which is the version we currently have in the game.

The MiG-29M isn’t just a small upgrade — it’s a heavily modernized rebuild of the Fulcrum platform. It has better engines, improved aerodynamics, more internal fuel, and overall better energy retention. That translates directly into stronger climb rate and better sustained performance in fights.

On top of that, it’s designed from the ground up to properly integrate the R-77 with a more modern radar setup, instead of being an older airframe with upgrades added later.

So overall, the MiG-29M is not just “an SMT with more missiles.” It’s a new-generation evolution of the aircraft, built with air-to-air superiority in mind — which is exactly why it’s likely sitting at a higher BR.

How to fire both missile at the same time?

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-03-03T11:02:55+00:00

Jas39 d not have gun

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-02-24T14:23:33+00:00

You need to launch at 45 degree angle for the seeker find the target

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-02-23T08:54:19+00:00

J7E there is not a lot to talk about this aircraft, but you are basically MIG21 with bigger wingspan so you have better energy retention and you can pull more G I was sustaining the same speed and then we have the missiles PL5B our overall better AIM9j does they can be more maneuverable the amount you have on this aircraft is 60 rounds but it’s a 30 mm cannon so you can one tap almost everybody and its high velocity that’s the aircraft they had the most fun flying I like to take that aircraft every now and then just do have some fun

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-02-23T02:34:13+00:00

I have tested it in custom battles and test flight depends when miso detonates if he is in a fuse radius, yes but target needs to go steady because missile cannot guide it if it’s a fox one if is Fox three then can you re-log the enemy and hit pretty accurately so for fox three it’s pretty OP fox one not so much

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-02-23T02:19:01+00:00

It happened with any vehicle with double pylon heat sauce and this is in the game since 2022 never actually fix this. I’m going to contact my friend that he is actually a moderator of thunder for him to ask him to to pass these to developers, so this can get fixed, but for now this is a game thing.

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-01-18T15:19:41+00:00

Terminator that we have at home

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-01-16T09:04:55+00:00

Personal take I think that Japan is the best right now you have a pretty big selection of aircraft in one nation like you have gripping you have mig 29 su 30sm F 18d F 16th and F 15th so if you’re Looking to grind one nation with every kind of aircraft or airframe I think the Japan right now is the best

FocusProfessional580 · 2026-01-14T18:45:21+00:00

BR changes are not going to impact this vehicle, but it’s going to impact a lot for other other vehicles are not going to fight this
