[quote=@Foster] MiG-31 still does alright in AEW, ECM, and photo-recon missions, though. -Or for pissing off a flight to scramble early and GTFO, or to intercept a flight during mid-air refuel. (Its wide flight vector would [distance it can cover in the time a flight can be sent to intercept] means it can cause ALOT of disruption to airfields simply by existing) Strap some passive-radar guided ARMs to it, and they perform pretty decent SEAD(L) missions. Probably going to get my MiG-23 to work closely with the MiG-31 until they can haz upgrade to Sukhoi airframes with [s]companion-cubes[/s] mini-fridges. (tempted to either pair two MiG-23s with teh MiG-31 for Migcap, or just "Borrow" the F-14 for a decent wingman) Silver is [i]probably[/i] taking the F-15A/C... just a guess. Making them the super-fighter of the flight. [/quote] Yeah but if you get painted by an enemy aircraft, it's over. The thing cannot dogfight worth shit.
