War Thunder MiG-23MLA & MLD what are the differences between them? Which one is the best?

[@guilhermevitorio273]

As an MLA player who has never touched a MLD, this video was very useful to know what I can and can't do that the MLD can and can't

[@IllustriousUnknown416]

visual diferences are: - MLD has a different IFF antenna (a 'dorito' shaped small antenna instead of the 3 individual antennas of the earlier Floggers - it can be seen outside the cockpit in front of the windshield) - MLD has a vortex generator in the edge of the pitot tube (although ingame the MLA also have the same) (edit: they fixed it, it’s correct now) - MLD has the wing slats (MLA does not) - And the easiest one to identify: MLD has the 'dogtooth' design in the wing gloove (where the wings joints to the main aircraft fuselage/engine), while MLA does not have

@@radam1198 🤮🤮 Fulcrum has its pros, but MiG-25 is much more sexy talking seriously now, I know people are deperately waiting for the 29, but I can't believe that Gaijin is really gonna skip the the 25... I mean, we have much more useless vehicles in game at the moment (Katyusha, Sturmtiger, Po-2, the Japanese Toyota SAM Type something truck), so why they didn't we get the Foxbat yet? While it could still be somewhat useful, before the introduction of more 4th gen aircrafts and the br compression totally kill it.That's one of the most iconic jet aircrafts of all times. I can't imagine a game like WT - that portraits aircrafts that barely flown irl like the Ho-229 - but doesn't have such iconic, mass produced and important aircraft like the MiG-25

The M and MF aren't that early, compared the MLA and MLD yes but many more variants came before them and performed much worse.

[@AndreDiasRJ]

i dont understand why mig23m gets r60m and the MLD gets regular r60

[@creekochee3592]

Same reason the F-14 doesn’t get Aim-9Ls. Gaijn thinks the game is balanced by subtracting missiles from jets to make a less competitive weapon system. It’s hilarious because I can just imagine them treating it like a math problem. 1 F14 + Aim9Ls=Weapon system that is overpowered.

[@isthissomesortofmeme8932]

Mld was dumb op and didn't need them on release unlike the m

[@matawg]

Balance hahaha It doesnt make sense but thats pretty much It

[@sometoastxd]

You have to think about all the other countries that have to fight these aircraft. Italy is still stuck with a starfighter at top tier so it's a delicate balance.

[@sometoastxd]

@@creekochee3592 and gaijin is right about that. If the tomcat had limas when combined with the ACM modes it would be too good as a dogfighter and some countries couldn't match the performance.

[@LawatheMEid]

Where i could get for free a digital 3D file for MiG-23? To edit it, or even a precise dimensions for it? Thanks.

[@Em_Youl]

Didnt the MiG 23 MLD get R 73's?

[@raksomething6942]

wha??

[@freeyoutubemusic1121]

Yes

[@raksomething6942]

In WT?

[@aleski6506]

No

[@matawg]

Irl yes but still we dont have it due to balancing

[@wapniak666]

Informative video but you should probably try scripting future ones, it's kinda hard to sometimes follow your train of thoughts

[@SuwatWatjinda]

I want developer consider add MiG-23MLD 23-19 (It's also known as MiG-23MLD Late) later MiG-23MLD because addition new All-aspect infrared R-73 capable of 45G overload, SPO-15LM Beryoza RWR replace SPO-10M Sirena-3 and including SPS-141 Siren-Fsh active radar jammer (suspended pod)

It is already the 19 ohm :)
