MiG-23MLD Is Still A Beast

- MiG-23MLD in War Thunder remains a very good fighter even in 12.3 meta. R-24Rs perform exceptionally well when used correctly. And R-60Ms are good in head-on engagements and make quick work of unaware opponents.
Flight performance is nothing to skawk at. Honestly no clue how it remained at 11.3.
Playing MiG-23MLD after a long pause was definitely fun. And YOU should revisit it too.

MLD is still my favorite plane. I have MIG29SMT but still MIG23MLD feels more fun to me. These R-24Rs are so fun to use. I have 4029 kills and 1021 deaths in MLD lmao
Impressive numbers, mine sits at around 1000 kills
get a life or something
Good lord
I share your opinion
Bro shot down the entire US airforce
No over edit, nice plays and music, nice video man!
Thank you for your feedback. Much appreciated!
man thanks for the vid! impressive skills, also inspired me to take for a walk my 23ml with 24Rs! keep it on!
upd
and thanks for the music choice :)
I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Man r24R is bussing feels like a young r27er at 11.3
Yep 24R is a very enjoyable weapon
@@GUSWTyeah never understood taking T over R but I could see mixing like 1 R and 1 T but other than that I always take the 2 R
@@Blackphantom622 T only was a decent option before missile drag nerf, it flew reliably 10+ km.
@@GUSWT yeah but I still see so many people use the T but then again it's mostly low levels that use the Mig-23ML I have both the ML and MLD
@@GUSWT I think a lot of low levels use it because it's easier and they don't know how to use the radar
This one if The best videos of war thunder I have watched!
Thank you very much for kind words!
playing the mig 23ml/mld I found out for non ec maps you can get away with 20 minutes of fuel just using your first stage afterburner and the agility is insane, truly mig 23s are my favorite
I used to only run 20 minutes before introduction of big maps. Only downside was sometimes when you had to carry a game your fuel was a limiting factor in decisions.
@@GUSWT yeah the big maps force a full tank which is lame, great content tho!
hell yeah it's good! I had multiple high kill games while grinding for the mig-29!
Oh yes MLA/MLD are definitely comfy to play.
Love the editing, very satisfying.
Any idea why the R24R appears to create two trails behind it?
I feel like it’s a bug, because not so long ago everything was fine. Tried changing graphics settings, but unfortunately it didn’t fix it.
Thank you very much!
I will buy the Mig-23ML during next summer sale
Awesome vid man, what was the second track called? And would you mind if i steal the idea? lol
I'm using the German Mig-23MLA and was deciding which R24 to go with and when I tried to use the R24R, I just couldn't get a lock most of the time. No matter what angle or distance I was from the target, I couldn't get a decent. When I did maintain a lock, the missile missed. Any tips for the R24R?
MLAs radar is a bit quirky. When you are low to the ground you should be using MTI mode. At higher altitude normal mode without MTI/LD will track the target and guide the missile. Even if the radar starts locking chaff there is a high chance that your missile will still hit. MLAs radar is prone to notching so shooting at targets that are going sideways to you is risky. Also if an enemy is hugging the ground the R-24R will probably miss. So to conclude the best use scenario - shoot directly head-on at 5-8km when low to the ground using MTI mode, and if you’re at altitude use regular mode without MTI.
i will add that the range in statistics tab is max range of missile, while realistically if the enemy goes away from you range drops to 3-5 km and around 10 km in head-on, best way to lock is to use acm radar mode and wait for full 2 red circles when warming up missile
@@GUSWT Thanks for tips. Will try them out
i usually just use them as 2km head on radar missiles, usually works
0:35 my jaw dropped lol, poor F16
I love both the MLA and the MLD. Especially the MLA in 1v1 is a monster since it is the best ratefighter in the game right now (even better than the F-16)
It wasn't better than the f16a before the dev server but it is now the made the f16a rate worse
Hell no both f14 a and b will out rate the shit out of any mig 23
@pitviper6713 no the mig 23 in game out rates the fuck out of both of them
@@pitviper6713 wrong, as @WingSitter said MiG-23MLA outrates both pretty easily
@@WigSplitters again meet me in game and i will beat any mig 23 10 out of 10 times and i will live stream it in both A and b modles. I beat my friend in his su27 on my last twitch stream
Playing R-24T only, so satisfying shitting on even 12.3 from 10 km away. Grinding for the Su-27 with almost 3 K/D.
I played exclusively R-24Ts for a long time too, good choice
Whats the music at the beginning? cool ambiance
Its Two-Pronged Strategy from Ace Combat 7 OST
I would take my 23ML over my Mig 29 any day honestly, these are such fun planes!
How do you make the quality of the video so good?
I record in 4K with 130 mbps bitrate and render with the same parameters to reduce the effects of YTs compression.
Bro every time i use this jet, my missiles just run the opposite direction
I love the mig 23 in every aspect, except for the fact I simply cannot use the guns, I dont know why I am so incapable of using the guns
Water pistol moment. They are basically almost the worst in terms of velocity.

i saw videos of the mig 23 doing bvr and the radar has a range of 90km, why can i only use 30km? its a bug??
Hello! Sorry for extremely late reply. MiG-23s radar range depends on your altitude - below 6000 ft it only allows the range of 30km. At higher altitude, e.g. 15k ft it allows to switch to 90 km.
What is the strategy to play this plane well? I'm in struggle flying them.
It’s hard to say, because even if you do everything right and make no mistakes, your team may leave you against 5 planes. And it happens often.
23MLD should be played utilizing its speed generally. Fast passes, use R-60Ms in close-range head-ons, shoot R-24Rs at diving enemies.
Don’t forget about utilizing wing sweep in dogfights, but generally try to avoid them. If you stuck in one, best rate fighting speed is around 800 kph with unfolded wings.
But, if you’re dogfighting F-16s, MiG-29s or Su-27s, Mirage 2000s or 4000s, F-15s, JAS37s - your best bet is to run.
R24r use mti? That shit gives me more trouble than pulse doppler.
Yes, MLD/MLA radar has MTI/LD which is basically a “worse” pulse doppler.
@@GUSWT but in my experience its mti is better than mig23mf and its equivalent.. it filter the ground as it is a pulse doppler, which makes me frustated as i couldnt notch and chaff.. do you know the effective way to chaff normal radar without spamming it?
@@rifwann basically turning away from non-PD lock and chaffing will defeat the missile. Normal radar mode will start locking chaff after you deployed it, but because a radar is like a flashlight some waves will still hit your plane and continue to guide the missile. So if you will do the same maneuver (chaff and notch) against normal radar mode it will allow you to dodge successfully. Unfortunately I don’t know the exact amount of chaff drops needed to defeat this type of lock, but theoretically combining chaff and notching should reduce the amount of chaff needed.
R24 and r60 nerfed to the ground now
Can you tell me how to lock beyod visual range whidout knowing where the fuck is the enemy plane.
You can view radar contacts on your HUD represented by horizontal lines. Try looking in general vicinity of enemy planes, e.g. at start of the match look over enemy bases at alt of 5-7km.
@@GUSWT Ty, i decided not to buy this plane. I already have the su25k and for grinding 4 tier8 planes is waste of money and I heard is getting uptiered all the time.
Isn't fer that these R-24R are unavoidable with any flairs i mean there is no countermeasures against them, i mean Shure if you use them and get kills but still it is kind a bugish from gajin it self, Mig-29 or F-16 can not escape them in a way maybe it is ok at least some balance but still it is funny!
There is counterplay to them. You can notch the MiG-23's radar by going 90 degrees to enemy aircraft while dropping chaff. That maneuver should defeat R-24R. You can also drive the missile into the ground by flying low or diving. But yes, as any decent radar missile, they are hard to dodge and does balance things a bit.
Bro just hold the trigger down. You’re wasting more ammo with this tap fire method
Nah I comment for 2th time because of this funny meme 2:06
