== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. As of start of October 2023 i have retired from writing on public pages: "I have studies, responsibilities and other things to work on." I will still be working on my personal page to adjust certain things and finish them

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[MiG-29 (Family)|MiG-29]] with it's [[R-27ER]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.3 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.3/11.7 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it after the MiG-27's. As that fits the transition from bomber to super sonic bomber to super sonic Ground Attacker and then to go to a super sonic interceptor.

==== Tu-160 ====

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

The ZSU-23-4M4 represents pivotal upgrades to the original ZSU-23-4 Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system, introduced in 1999 to bolster air defense capabilities for contemporary battlefield scenarios. These modernizations were aimed at enhancing the system's overall combat effectiveness and survivability.

One of the most notable improvements in this modernized variant is the incorporation of two paired "Igla" man-portable air-defense systems on each side of the turret. This advancement significantly expands the platform's capability to engage a broader spectrum of aerial threats, encompassing not only traditional aircraft but also helicopters and low-flying aircraft.

To bolster its defenses and survivability on the battlefield, the ZSU-23-4M4 comes equipped with 81mm smoke grenade launchers. These launchers offer the advantage of creating smoke screens that obscure the vehicle from enemy targeting systems, providing crucial cover during engagements.

This modernized platform features an array of advanced sensor and vision devices, including laser emission sensors and electro-optical vision systems. Moreover, a television system for the driver enhances situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities.

The original weapon radar system has undergone enhancements, resulting in improved target tracking and engagement accuracy. This upgrade ensures more effective anti-aircraft fire.

To augment overall mobility, the ZSU-23-4M4 has transitioned from a mechanical transmission to a hydrostatic transmission system. The incorporation of hydraulic boosters further enhances operational performance, making these vehicles more agile and responsive on today's modern battlefield.

The development and implementation of these modernization efforts were a collaborative endeavor. Key contributors include the Minotor Service Enterprise and Peleng Joint Stock Company from the Republic of Belarus, in addition to the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant in Russia. Notably, the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant offers ZSU-23-4 upgrade packages independently, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing the capabilities of this time-tested anti-aircraft system.

The ZSU-23-4M4 variant has demonstrated its adaptability and effectiveness as vital component of contemporary air defense systems. These upgrades have positioned it as versatile and potent assets capable of providing robust air defense in the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare.

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. As of start of October 2023 i have retired from writing on public pages: "I have studies, responsibilities and other things to work on." I will still be working on my personal page to adjust certain things and finish them

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[MiG-29 (Family)|MiG-29]] with it's [[R-27ER]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.3 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.3/11.7 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it after the MiG-27's. As that fits the transition from bomber to super sonic bomber to super sonic Ground Attacker and then to go to a super sonic interceptor.

==== Tu-160 ====
[[File:Tu-160 in flight.jpg|frameless|500x500px]]
{{Notice

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

[[File:GarageImage ZSU-23-4M4.jpg|frameless|500x500px]]

{{Notice
|Added since "Aplha Strike"

'''Information and history'''

The ZSU-23-4M4 represents pivotal upgrades to the original ZSU-23-4 Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system, introduced in 1999 to bolster air defense capabilities for contemporary battlefield scenarios. These modernizations were aimed at enhancing the system's overall combat effectiveness and survivability.

One of the most notable improvements in this modernized variant is the incorporation of two paired "Igla" man-portable air-defense systems on each side of the turret. This advancement significantly expands the platform's capability to engage a broader spectrum of aerial threats, encompassing not only traditional aircraft but also helicopters and low-flying aircraft.

To bolster its defenses and survivability on the battlefield, the ZSU-23-4M4 comes equipped with 81mm smoke grenade launchers. These launchers offer the advantage of creating smoke screens that obscure the vehicle from enemy targeting systems, providing crucial cover during engagements.

This modernized platform features an array of advanced sensor and vision devices, including laser emission sensors and electro-optical vision systems. Moreover, a television system for the driver enhances situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities.

The original weapon radar system has undergone enhancements, resulting in improved target tracking and engagement accuracy. This upgrade ensures more effective anti-aircraft fire.

To augment overall mobility, the ZSU-23-4M4 has transitioned from a mechanical transmission to a hydrostatic transmission system. The incorporation of hydraulic boosters further enhances operational performance, making these vehicles more agile and responsive on today's modern battlefield.

The development and implementation of these modernization efforts were a collaborative endeavor. Key contributors include the Minotor Service Enterprise and Peleng Joint Stock Company from the Republic of Belarus, in addition to the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant in Russia. Notably, the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant offers ZSU-23-4 upgrade packages independently, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing the capabilities of this time-tested anti-aircraft system.

The ZSU-23-4M4 variant has demonstrated its adaptability and effectiveness as vital component of contemporary air defense systems. These upgrades have positioned it as versatile and potent assets capable of providing robust air defense in the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare.

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. As of start of October 2023 i have retired from writing on public pages: "I have studies, responsibilities and other things to work on." I will still be working on my personal page to adjust certain things and finish them

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

==== ZSU-23-4M4 ====
<s>No Image Found yet due to Copyright issues</s>

{{Notice
|Added since "Aplha Strike"

}}

'''Information and history'''

The ZSU-23-4M4 represents pivotal upgrades to the original ZSU-23-4 Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system, introduced in 1999 to bolster air defense capabilities for contemporary battlefield scenarios. These modernizations were aimed at enhancing the system's overall combat effectiveness and survivability.

One of the most notable improvements in this modernized variant is the incorporation of two paired "Igla" man-portable air-defense systems on each side of the turret. This advancement significantly expands the platform's capability to engage a broader spectrum of aerial threats, encompassing not only traditional aircraft but also helicopters and low-flying aircraft.

To bolster its defenses and survivability on the battlefield, the ZSU-23-4M4 comes equipped with 81mm smoke grenade launchers. These launchers offer the advantage of creating smoke screens that obscure the vehicle from enemy targeting systems, providing crucial cover during engagements.

This modernized platform features an array of advanced sensor and vision devices, including laser emission sensors and electro-optical vision systems. Moreover, a television system for the driver enhances situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities.

The original weapon radar system has undergone enhancements, resulting in improved target tracking and engagement accuracy. This upgrade ensures more effective anti-aircraft fire.

To augment overall mobility, the ZSU-23-4M4 has transitioned from a mechanical transmission to a hydrostatic transmission system. The incorporation of hydraulic boosters further enhances operational performance, making these vehicles more agile and responsive on today's modern battlefield.

The development and implementation of these modernization efforts were a collaborative endeavor. Key contributors include the Minotor Service Enterprise and Peleng Joint Stock Company from the Republic of Belarus, in addition to the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant in Russia. Notably, the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant offers ZSU-23-4 upgrade packages independently, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing the capabilities of this time-tested anti-aircraft system.

The ZSU-23-4M4 variant has demonstrated its adaptability and effectiveness as vital component of contemporary air defense systems. These upgrades have positioned it as versatile and potent assets capable of providing robust air defense in the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare.

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout for spading out the jet and gathering Reserach Points, carrying the ZB-500 will make you slightly lighter than if you we're to take FAB-500 instead. Drop for each base 4 500 Kg bombs
# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. As of start of October 2023 i have retired from writing on public pages: "I have studies, responsibilities and other things to work on." I will still be working on my personal page to adjust certain things and finish them

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

==== ZSU-23-4M4 ====
<s>No Image Found yet due to Copyright issues</s>

{{Notice

'''Information and history'''

The ZSU-23-4M4 represents pivotal upgrades to the original ZSU-23-4 Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system, introduced in 1999 to bolster air defense capabilities for contemporary battlefield scenarios. These modernizations were aimed at enhancing the system's overall combat effectiveness and survivability.

One of the most notable improvements in this modernized variant is the incorporation of two paired "Igla" man-portable air-defense systems on each side of the turret. This advancement significantly expands the platform's capability to engage a broader spectrum of aerial threats, encompassing not only traditional aircraft but also helicopters and low-flying aircraft.

To bolster its defenses and survivability on the battlefield, the ZSU-23-4M4 comes equipped with 81mm smoke grenade launchers. These launchers offer the advantage of creating smoke screens that obscure the vehicle from enemy targeting systems, providing crucial cover during engagements.

This modernized platform features an array of advanced sensor and vision devices, including laser emission sensors and electro-optical vision systems. Moreover, a television system for the driver enhances situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities.

The original weapon radar system has undergone enhancements, resulting in improved target tracking and engagement accuracy. This upgrade ensures more effective anti-aircraft fire.

To augment overall mobility, the ZSU-23-4M4 has transitioned from a mechanical transmission to a hydrostatic transmission system. The incorporation of hydraulic boosters further enhances operational performance, making these vehicles more agile and responsive on today's modern battlefield.

The development and implementation of these modernization efforts were a collaborative endeavor. Key contributors include the Minotor Service Enterprise and Peleng Joint Stock Company from the Republic of Belarus, in addition to the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant in Russia. Notably, the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant offers ZSU-23-4 upgrade packages independently, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing the capabilities of this time-tested anti-aircraft system.

The ZSU-23-4M4 variant has demonstrated its adaptability and effectiveness as vital component of contemporary air defense systems. These upgrades have positioned it as versatile and potent assets capable of providing robust air defense in the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare.

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

=== Funny or useful idea's ===

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

Author of image: Gilli815

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout for spading out the jet and gathering Reserach Points, carrying the ZB-500 will make you slightly lighter than if you we're to take FAB-500 instead. Drop for each base 4 500 Kg bombs
# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

{| class="wikitable"

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

=== Special thanks ===
- Gilli815: for providing images, helping me with testing of various vehicles in Custom Battles and for helping create fun game modes for Custom Battles.

- Chankadanka69: Giving me feedback on suggested vehicles and suggesting other vehicles for me to work on.

- d0luXer: being the best F-5C fighter i have ever met and teaching me to 1v1 in aircrafts.

- Thesuperlink72: being the one who helped me grind my way up to high-tier.

- ''Alpha tester i met 4 years ago'': random Alpha tester who demanded me to 1v1 him in my first week of playing the game, he taught me how to play with tanks and all the things necessary for me to know. Once done, he disappeared and I never heard of him again. '''A true legend to me'''.

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. As of start of October 2023 i have retired from writing on public pages: "I have studies, responsibilities and other things to work on." I will still be working on my personal page to adjust certain things and finish them

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===

== War Thunder Wiki work ==

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

'''Information and history'''

The ZSU-23-4M4 represents pivotal upgrades to the original ZSU-23-4 Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system, introduced in 1999 to bolster air defense capabilities for contemporary battlefield scenarios. These modernizations were aimed at enhancing the system's overall combat effectiveness and survivability.

One of the most notable improvements in this modernized variant is the incorporation of two paired "Igla" man-portable air-defense systems on each side of the turret. This advancement significantly expands the platform's capability to engage a broader spectrum of aerial threats, encompassing not only traditional aircraft but also helicopters and low-flying aircraft.

To bolster its defenses and survivability on the battlefield, the ZSU-23-4M4 comes equipped with 81mm smoke grenade launchers. These launchers offer the advantage of creating smoke screens that obscure the vehicle from enemy targeting systems, providing crucial cover during engagements.

This modernized platform features an array of advanced sensor and vision devices, including laser emission sensors and electro-optical vision systems. Moreover, a television system for the driver enhances situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities.

The original weapon radar system has undergone enhancements, resulting in improved target tracking and engagement accuracy. This upgrade ensures more effective anti-aircraft fire.

To augment overall mobility, the ZSU-23-4M4 has transitioned from a mechanical transmission to a hydrostatic transmission system. The incorporation of hydraulic boosters further enhances operational performance, making these vehicles more agile and responsive on today's modern battlefield.

The development and implementation of these modernization efforts were a collaborative endeavor. Key contributors include the Minotor Service Enterprise and Peleng Joint Stock Company from the Republic of Belarus, in addition to the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant in Russia. Notably, the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant offers ZSU-23-4 upgrade packages independently, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing the capabilities of this time-tested anti-aircraft system.

The ZSU-23-4M4 variant has demonstrated its adaptability and effectiveness as vital component of contemporary air defense systems. These upgrades have positioned it as versatile and potent assets capable of providing robust air defense in the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare.

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

Author of image: Gilli815

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout for spading out the jet and gathering Reserach Points, carrying the ZB-500 will make you slightly lighter than if you we're to take FAB-500 instead. Drop for each base 4 500 Kg bombs
# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

===== MiG-27M =====
[[File:GarageImage MiG-27M.jpg|frameless|533x533px]]

{| class="wikitable"

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

--shootsave ([[User talk:U124604314|talk]])

=== Special thanks ===
- Gilli815: for providing images, helping me with testing of various vehicles in Custom Battles and for helping create fun game modes for Custom Battles.

- Chankadanka69: Giving me feedback on suggested vehicles and suggesting other vehicles for me to work on.

- d0luXer: being the best F-5C fighter i have ever met and teaching me to 1v1 in aircrafts.

- Thesuperlink72: being the one who helped me grind my way up to high-tier.

- ''Alpha tester i met 4 years ago'': random Alpha tester who demanded me to 1v1 him in my first week of playing the game, he taught me how to play with tanks and all the things necessary for me to know. Once done, he disappeared and I never heard of him again. '''A true legend to me'''.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

==== ZSU-23-4M4 ====
<s>No Image Found yet due to Copyright issues</s>

'''Information and history'''

The ZSU-23-4M4 represents pivotal upgrades to the original ZSU-23-4 Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system, introduced in 1999 to bolster air defense capabilities for contemporary battlefield scenarios. These modernizations were aimed at enhancing the system's overall combat effectiveness and survivability.

One of the most notable improvements in this modernized variant is the incorporation of two paired "Igla" man-portable air-defense systems on each side of the turret. This advancement significantly expands the platform's capability to engage a broader spectrum of aerial threats, encompassing not only traditional aircraft but also helicopters and low-flying aircraft.

To bolster its defenses and survivability on the battlefield, the ZSU-23-4M4 comes equipped with 81mm smoke grenade launchers. These launchers offer the advantage of creating smoke screens that obscure the vehicle from enemy targeting systems, providing crucial cover during engagements.

This modernized platform features an array of advanced sensor and vision devices, including laser emission sensors and electro-optical vision systems. Moreover, a television system for the driver enhances situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities.

The original weapon radar system has undergone enhancements, resulting in improved target tracking and engagement accuracy. This upgrade ensures more effective anti-aircraft fire.

To augment overall mobility, the ZSU-23-4M4 has transitioned from a mechanical transmission to a hydrostatic transmission system. The incorporation of hydraulic boosters further enhances operational performance, making these vehicles more agile and responsive on today's modern battlefield.

The development and implementation of these modernization efforts were a collaborative endeavor. Key contributors include the Minotor Service Enterprise and Peleng Joint Stock Company from the Republic of Belarus, in addition to the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant in Russia. Notably, the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant offers ZSU-23-4 upgrade packages independently, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing the capabilities of this time-tested anti-aircraft system.

The ZSU-23-4M4 variant has demonstrated its adaptability and effectiveness as vital component of contemporary air defense systems. These upgrades have positioned it as versatile and potent assets capable of providing robust air defense in the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare.

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. As of start of October 2023 i have retired from writing on public pages: "I have studies, responsibilities and other things to work on." I will still be working on my personal page to adjust certain things and finish them

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

==== Tu-160 ====

{{Notice

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

==== ZSU-23-4M4 ====
<s>No Image Found yet due to Copyright issues</s>

'''Information and history'''

The ZSU-23-4M4 represents pivotal upgrades to the original ZSU-23-4 Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system, introduced in 1999 to bolster air defense capabilities for contemporary battlefield scenarios. These modernizations were aimed at enhancing the system's overall combat effectiveness and survivability.

One of the most notable improvements in this modernized variant is the incorporation of two paired "Igla" man-portable air-defense systems on each side of the turret. This advancement significantly expands the platform's capability to engage a broader spectrum of aerial threats, encompassing not only traditional aircraft but also helicopters and low-flying aircraft.

To bolster its defenses and survivability on the battlefield, the ZSU-23-4M4 comes equipped with 81mm smoke grenade launchers. These launchers offer the advantage of creating smoke screens that obscure the vehicle from enemy targeting systems, providing crucial cover during engagements.

This modernized platform features an array of advanced sensor and vision devices, including laser emission sensors and electro-optical vision systems. Moreover, a television system for the driver enhances situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities.

The original weapon radar system has undergone enhancements, resulting in improved target tracking and engagement accuracy. This upgrade ensures more effective anti-aircraft fire.

To augment overall mobility, the ZSU-23-4M4 has transitioned from a mechanical transmission to a hydrostatic transmission system. The incorporation of hydraulic boosters further enhances operational performance, making these vehicles more agile and responsive on today's modern battlefield.

The development and implementation of these modernization efforts were a collaborative endeavor. Key contributors include the Minotor Service Enterprise and Peleng Joint Stock Company from the Republic of Belarus, in addition to the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant in Russia. Notably, the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant offers ZSU-23-4 upgrade packages independently, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing the capabilities of this time-tested anti-aircraft system.

The ZSU-23-4M4 variant has demonstrated its adaptability and effectiveness as vital component of contemporary air defense systems. These upgrades have positioned it as versatile and potent assets capable of providing robust air defense in the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare.

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

* [[Sturmtiger|38cm Sturmmörser]]
* [[15cm sIG 33 B Sfl]]
* [[KV-2 (1939)|KV-2]], [[KV-2 (1940)]] and [[KW II 754 (r) (Germany)|German KV-2]]

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. As of start of October 2023 i have retired from writing on public pages: "I have studies, responsibilities and other things to work on." I will still be working on my personal page to adjust certain things and finish them

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

==== Tu-160 ====
[[File:Tu-160 in flight.jpg|frameless|500x500px]]
{{Notice

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

==== ZSU-23-4M4 ====
<s>No Image Found yet due to Copyright issues</s>

'''Information and history'''

The ZSU-23-4M4 represents pivotal upgrades to the original ZSU-23-4 Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system, introduced in 1999 to bolster air defense capabilities for contemporary battlefield scenarios. These modernizations were aimed at enhancing the system's overall combat effectiveness and survivability.

One of the most notable improvements in this modernized variant is the incorporation of two paired "Igla" man-portable air-defense systems on each side of the turret. This advancement significantly expands the platform's capability to engage a broader spectrum of aerial threats, encompassing not only traditional aircraft but also helicopters and low-flying aircraft.

To bolster its defenses and survivability on the battlefield, the ZSU-23-4M4 comes equipped with 81mm smoke grenade launchers. These launchers offer the advantage of creating smoke screens that obscure the vehicle from enemy targeting systems, providing crucial cover during engagements.

This modernized platform features an array of advanced sensor and vision devices, including laser emission sensors and electro-optical vision systems. Moreover, a television system for the driver enhances situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities.

The original weapon radar system has undergone enhancements, resulting in improved target tracking and engagement accuracy. This upgrade ensures more effective anti-aircraft fire.

To augment overall mobility, the ZSU-23-4M4 has transitioned from a mechanical transmission to a hydrostatic transmission system. The incorporation of hydraulic boosters further enhances operational performance, making these vehicles more agile and responsive on today's modern battlefield.

The development and implementation of these modernization efforts were a collaborative endeavor. Key contributors include the Minotor Service Enterprise and Peleng Joint Stock Company from the Republic of Belarus, in addition to the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant in Russia. Notably, the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant offers ZSU-23-4 upgrade packages independently, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing the capabilities of this time-tested anti-aircraft system.

The ZSU-23-4M4 variant has demonstrated its adaptability and effectiveness as vital component of contemporary air defense systems. These upgrades have positioned it as versatile and potent assets capable of providing robust air defense in the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare.

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My only loadout i use for ground battles. The HE unguided rockets are optimal for taking down SPAA at a range, as even if they land near the SPAA it can overpressure them. And the bombs are obviously ment for taking down more heavily targets

# My loadout for spading out the jet and gathering Reserach Points, carrying the ZB-500 will make you slightly lighter than if you we're to take FAB-500 instead. Drop for each base 4 500 Kg bombs
# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. As of start of October 2023 i have retired from writing on public pages: "I have studies, responsibilities and other things to work on." I will still be working on my personal page to adjust certain things and finish them

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

==== ZSU-23-4M4 ====
<s>No Image Found yet due to Copyright issues</s>

'''Information and history'''

The ZSU-23-4M4 represents pivotal upgrades to the original ZSU-23-4 Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system, introduced in 1999 to bolster air defense capabilities for contemporary battlefield scenarios. These modernizations were aimed at enhancing the system's overall combat effectiveness and survivability.

One of the most notable improvements in this modernized variant is the incorporation of two paired "Igla" man-portable air-defense systems on each side of the turret. This advancement significantly expands the platform's capability to engage a broader spectrum of aerial threats, encompassing not only traditional aircraft but also helicopters and low-flying aircraft.

To bolster its defenses and survivability on the battlefield, the ZSU-23-4M4 comes equipped with 81mm smoke grenade launchers. These launchers offer the advantage of creating smoke screens that obscure the vehicle from enemy targeting systems, providing crucial cover during engagements.

This modernized platform features an array of advanced sensor and vision devices, including laser emission sensors and electro-optical vision systems. Moreover, a television system for the driver enhances situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities.

The original weapon radar system has undergone enhancements, resulting in improved target tracking and engagement accuracy. This upgrade ensures more effective anti-aircraft fire.

To augment overall mobility, the ZSU-23-4M4 has transitioned from a mechanical transmission to a hydrostatic transmission system. The incorporation of hydraulic boosters further enhances operational performance, making these vehicles more agile and responsive on today's modern battlefield.

The development and implementation of these modernization efforts were a collaborative endeavor. Key contributors include the Minotor Service Enterprise and Peleng Joint Stock Company from the Republic of Belarus, in addition to the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant in Russia. Notably, the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant offers ZSU-23-4 upgrade packages independently, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing the capabilities of this time-tested anti-aircraft system.

The ZSU-23-4M4 variant has demonstrated its adaptability and effectiveness as vital component of contemporary air defense systems. These upgrades have positioned it as versatile and potent assets capable of providing robust air defense in the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare.

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

=== Funny or useful idea's ===

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

Author of image: Gilli815

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

* [[2S3M]]
* [[Sturmtiger|38cm Sturmmörser]]
* [[15cm sIG 33 B Sfl]]
* [[KV-2 (1939)|KV-2]], [[KV-2 (1940)]] and [[KW II 754 (r) (Germany)|German KV-2]]

* [[FV4005]]
* [[G6]]
* [[Ho-Ro]]
* [[Type 75 SPH]]
* [[Bkan 1C]]
* [[Centurion Mk.5 AVRE]]

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout for spading out the jet and gathering Reserach Points, carrying the ZB-500 will make you slightly lighter than if you we're to take FAB-500 instead. Drop for each base 4 500 Kg bombs
# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

=== Special thanks ===
- Gilli815: for providing images, helping me with testing of various vehicles in Custom Battles and for helping create fun game modes for Custom Battles.

- Chankadanka69: Giving me feedback on suggested vehicles and suggesting other vehicles for me to work on.

- d0luXer: being the best F-5C fighter i have ever met and teaching me to 1v1 in aircrafts.

- Thesuperlink72: being the one who helped me grind my way up to high-tier.

- ''Alpha tester i met 4 years ago'': random Alpha tester who demanded me to 1v1 him in my first week of playing the game, he taught me how to play with tanks and all the things necessary for me to know. Once done, he disappeared and I never heard of him again. '''A true legend to me'''.

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. As of start of October 2023 i have retired from writing on public pages: "I have studies, responsibilities and other things to work on." I will still be working on my personal page to adjust certain things and finish them

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
<s>As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.</s>

== War Thunder Wiki work ==

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

==== ZSU-23-4M4 ====
<s>No Image Found yet due to Copyright issues</s>

'''Information and history'''

The ZSU-23-4M4 represents pivotal upgrades to the original ZSU-23-4 Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system, introduced in 1999 to bolster air defense capabilities for contemporary battlefield scenarios. These modernizations were aimed at enhancing the system's overall combat effectiveness and survivability.

One of the most notable improvements in this modernized variant is the incorporation of two paired "Igla" man-portable air-defense systems on each side of the turret. This advancement significantly expands the platform's capability to engage a broader spectrum of aerial threats, encompassing not only traditional aircraft but also helicopters and low-flying aircraft.

To bolster its defenses and survivability on the battlefield, the ZSU-23-4M4 comes equipped with 81mm smoke grenade launchers. These launchers offer the advantage of creating smoke screens that obscure the vehicle from enemy targeting systems, providing crucial cover during engagements.

This modernized platform features an array of advanced sensor and vision devices, including laser emission sensors and electro-optical vision systems. Moreover, a television system for the driver enhances situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities.

The original weapon radar system has undergone enhancements, resulting in improved target tracking and engagement accuracy. This upgrade ensures more effective anti-aircraft fire.

To augment overall mobility, the ZSU-23-4M4 has transitioned from a mechanical transmission to a hydrostatic transmission system. The incorporation of hydraulic boosters further enhances operational performance, making these vehicles more agile and responsive on today's modern battlefield.

The development and implementation of these modernization efforts were a collaborative endeavor. Key contributors include the Minotor Service Enterprise and Peleng Joint Stock Company from the Republic of Belarus, in addition to the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant in Russia. Notably, the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant offers ZSU-23-4 upgrade packages independently, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing the capabilities of this time-tested anti-aircraft system.

The ZSU-23-4M4 variant has demonstrated its adaptability and effectiveness as vital component of contemporary air defense systems. These upgrades have positioned it as versatile and potent assets capable of providing robust air defense in the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare.

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

Author of image: Gilli815

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout for spading out the jet and gathering Reserach Points, carrying the ZB-500 will make you slightly lighter than if you we're to take FAB-500 instead. Drop for each base 4 500 Kg bombs
# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

===== MiG-27M =====
[[File:GarageImage MiG-27M.jpg|frameless|533x533px]]

{| class="wikitable"

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

--shootsave ([[User talk:U124604314|talk]])

=== Special thanks ===
- Gilli815: for providing images, helping me with testing of various vehicles in Custom Battles and for helping create fun game modes for Custom Battles.

- Chankadanka69: Giving me feedback on suggested vehicles and suggesting other vehicles for me to work on.

- d0luXer: being the best F-5C fighter i have ever met and teaching me to 1v1 in aircrafts.

- Thesuperlink72: being the one who helped me grind my way up to high-tier.

- ''Alpha tester i met 4 years ago'': random Alpha tester who demanded me to 1v1 him in my first week of playing the game, he taught me how to play with tanks and all the things necessary for me to know. Once done, he disappeared and I never heard of him again. '''A true legend to me'''.

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. As of start of October 2023 i have retired from writing on public pages: "I have studies, responsibilities and other things to work on." I will still be working on my personal page to adjust certain things and finish them

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
<s>As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.</s>

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

==== ZSU-23-4M4 ====
<s>No Image Found yet due to Copyright issues</s>

'''Information and history'''

The ZSU-23-4M4 represents pivotal upgrades to the original ZSU-23-4 Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system, introduced in 1999 to bolster air defense capabilities for contemporary battlefield scenarios. These modernizations were aimed at enhancing the system's overall combat effectiveness and survivability.

One of the most notable improvements in this modernized variant is the incorporation of two paired "Igla" man-portable air-defense systems on each side of the turret. This advancement significantly expands the platform's capability to engage a broader spectrum of aerial threats, encompassing not only traditional aircraft but also helicopters and low-flying aircraft.

To bolster its defenses and survivability on the battlefield, the ZSU-23-4M4 comes equipped with 81mm smoke grenade launchers. These launchers offer the advantage of creating smoke screens that obscure the vehicle from enemy targeting systems, providing crucial cover during engagements.

This modernized platform features an array of advanced sensor and vision devices, including laser emission sensors and electro-optical vision systems. Moreover, a television system for the driver enhances situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities.

The original weapon radar system has undergone enhancements, resulting in improved target tracking and engagement accuracy. This upgrade ensures more effective anti-aircraft fire.

To augment overall mobility, the ZSU-23-4M4 has transitioned from a mechanical transmission to a hydrostatic transmission system. The incorporation of hydraulic boosters further enhances operational performance, making these vehicles more agile and responsive on today's modern battlefield.

The development and implementation of these modernization efforts were a collaborative endeavor. Key contributors include the Minotor Service Enterprise and Peleng Joint Stock Company from the Republic of Belarus, in addition to the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant in Russia. Notably, the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant offers ZSU-23-4 upgrade packages independently, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing the capabilities of this time-tested anti-aircraft system.

The ZSU-23-4M4 variant has demonstrated its adaptability and effectiveness as vital component of contemporary air defense systems. These upgrades have positioned it as versatile and potent assets capable of providing robust air defense in the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare.

You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

==== Tu-160 ====
[[File:Tu-160 in flight.jpg|frameless|500x500px]]
{{Notice

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

==== ZSU-23-4M4 ====
<s>No Image Found yet due to Copyright issues</s>

'''Information and history'''

The ZSU-23-4M4 represents pivotal upgrades to the original ZSU-23-4 Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system, introduced in 1999 to bolster air defense capabilities for contemporary battlefield scenarios. These modernizations were aimed at enhancing the system's overall combat effectiveness and survivability.

One of the most notable improvements in this modernized variant is the incorporation of two paired "Igla" man-portable air-defense systems on each side of the turret. This advancement significantly expands the platform's capability to engage a broader spectrum of aerial threats, encompassing not only traditional aircraft but also helicopters and low-flying aircraft.

To bolster its defenses and survivability on the battlefield, the ZSU-23-4M4 comes equipped with 81mm smoke grenade launchers. These launchers offer the advantage of creating smoke screens that obscure the vehicle from enemy targeting systems, providing crucial cover during engagements.

This modernized platform features an array of advanced sensor and vision devices, including laser emission sensors and electro-optical vision systems. Moreover, a television system for the driver enhances situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities.

The original weapon radar system has undergone enhancements, resulting in improved target tracking and engagement accuracy. This upgrade ensures more effective anti-aircraft fire.

To augment overall mobility, the ZSU-23-4M4 has transitioned from a mechanical transmission to a hydrostatic transmission system. The incorporation of hydraulic boosters further enhances operational performance, making these vehicles more agile and responsive on today's modern battlefield.

The development and implementation of these modernization efforts were a collaborative endeavor. Key contributors include the Minotor Service Enterprise and Peleng Joint Stock Company from the Republic of Belarus, in addition to the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant in Russia. Notably, the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant offers ZSU-23-4 upgrade packages independently, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing the capabilities of this time-tested anti-aircraft system.

The ZSU-23-4M4 variant has demonstrated its adaptability and effectiveness as vital component of contemporary air defense systems. These upgrades have positioned it as versatile and potent assets capable of providing robust air defense in the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare.

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

==== Tu-160 ====
[[File:Tu-160 in flight.jpg|frameless|500x500px]]
{{Notice

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

==== ZSU-23-4M4 ====
<s>No Image Found yet due to Copyright issues</s>

'''Information and history'''

The ZSU-23-4M4 represents pivotal upgrades to the original ZSU-23-4 Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system, introduced in 1999 to bolster air defense capabilities for contemporary battlefield scenarios. These modernizations were aimed at enhancing the system's overall combat effectiveness and survivability.

One of the most notable improvements in this modernized variant is the incorporation of two paired "Igla" man-portable air-defense systems on each side of the turret. This advancement significantly expands the platform's capability to engage a broader spectrum of aerial threats, encompassing not only traditional aircraft but also helicopters and low-flying aircraft.

To bolster its defenses and survivability on the battlefield, the ZSU-23-4M4 comes equipped with 81mm smoke grenade launchers. These launchers offer the advantage of creating smoke screens that obscure the vehicle from enemy targeting systems, providing crucial cover during engagements.

This modernized platform features an array of advanced sensor and vision devices, including laser emission sensors and electro-optical vision systems. Moreover, a television system for the driver enhances situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities.

The original weapon radar system has undergone enhancements, resulting in improved target tracking and engagement accuracy. This upgrade ensures more effective anti-aircraft fire.

To augment overall mobility, the ZSU-23-4M4 has transitioned from a mechanical transmission to a hydrostatic transmission system. The incorporation of hydraulic boosters further enhances operational performance, making these vehicles more agile and responsive on today's modern battlefield.

The development and implementation of these modernization efforts were a collaborative endeavor. Key contributors include the Minotor Service Enterprise and Peleng Joint Stock Company from the Republic of Belarus, in addition to the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant in Russia. Notably, the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant offers ZSU-23-4 upgrade packages independently, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing the capabilities of this time-tested anti-aircraft system.

The ZSU-23-4M4 variant has demonstrated its adaptability and effectiveness as vital component of contemporary air defense systems. These upgrades have positioned it as versatile and potent assets capable of providing robust air defense in the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare.

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

* [[2S3M]]
* [[Sturmtiger|38cm Sturmmörser]]
* [[15cm sIG 33 B Sfl]]
* [[KV-2 (1939)|KV-2]], [[KV-2 (1940)]] and [[KW II 754 (r) (Germany)|German KV-2]]

* [[FV4005]]
* [[G6]]
* [[Ho-Ro]]
* [[Type 75 SPH]]
* [[Bkan 1C]]
* [[Centurion Mk.5 AVRE]]

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout for spading out the jet and gathering Reserach Points, carrying the ZB-500 will make you slightly lighter than if you we're to take FAB-500 instead. Drop for each base 4 500 Kg bombs
# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

== War Thunder Wiki work ==

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

==== ZSU-23-4M4 ====
<s>No Image Found yet due to Copyright issues</s>

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== Defend The Bombers ====
WO

=== Funny or useful idea's ===

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

Author of image: Gilli815

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout for spading out the jet and gathering Reserach Points, carrying the ZB-500 will make you slightly lighter than if you we're to take FAB-500 instead. Drop for each base 4 500 Kg bombs
# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== Last words ==
War Thunder wiki has become a bit of hobby for me, because I always loved writing. so I look forward working on here in my free time

--shootsave ([[User talk:U124604314|talk]])

=== Special thanks ===
- Gilli815: for providing images, helping me with testing of various vehicles in Custom Battles and for helping create fun game modes for Custom Battles.

- Chankadanka69: Giving me feedback on suggested vehicles and suggesting other vehicles for me to work on.

- d0luXer: being the best F-5C fighter i have ever met and teaching me to 1v1 in aircrafts.

- Thesuperlink72: being the one who helped me grind my way up to high-tier.

- ''Alpha tester i met 4 years ago'': random Alpha tester who demanded me to 1v1 him in my first week of playing the game, he taught me how to play with tanks and all the things necessary for me to know. Once done, he disappeared and I never heard of him again. '''A true legend to me'''.

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

My skins: [https://live.warthunder.com/post/1024074/en/ ISU-122]

== War Thunder Wiki work ==

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout for spading out the jet and gathering Reserach Points, carrying the ZB-500 will make you slightly lighter than if you we're to take FAB-500 instead. Drop for each base 4 500 Kg bombs
# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

===== MiG-27M =====
[[File:GarageImage MiG-27M.jpg|frameless|533x533px]]

{| class="wikitable"

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== Last words ==
War Thunder wiki has become a bit of hobby for me, because I always loved writing. so I look forward working on here in my free time

--shootsave ([[User talk:U124604314|talk]])

=== Special thanks ===
- Gilli815: for providing images, helping me with testing of various vehicles in Custom Battles and for helping create fun game modes for Custom Battles.

- Chankadanka69: Giving me feedback on suggested vehicles and suggesting other vehicles for me to work on.

- d0luXer: being the best F-5C fighter i have ever met and teaching me to 1v1 in aircrafts.

- Thesuperlink72: being the one who helped me grind my way up to high-tier.

- ''Alpha tester i met 4 years ago'': random Alpha tester who demanded me to 1v1 him in my first week of playing the game, he taught me how to play with tanks and all the things necessary for me to know. Once done, he disappeared and I never heard of him again. '''A true legend to me'''.

=== My contacts ===

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout for spading out the jet and gathering Reserach Points, carrying the ZB-500 will make you slightly lighter than if you we're to take FAB-500 instead. Drop for each base 4 500 Kg bombs
# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

== War Thunder Wiki work ==

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

==== Tu-160 ====

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

== War Thunder Wiki work ==

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to '''12.0 BR''' as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to advanced missiles such as the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the [[R-73]]. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting it in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

==== Tu-160 ====
[[File:Tu-160 in flight.jpg|frameless|500x500px]]
{{Notice

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The Tu-160 would be quite a devastating supersonic strategic bomber to introduce into War Thunder. Being able to deliver a beyond destructive payload to the battlefield and wipe out half of the play area in both Ground Battles and Air Battles. But that is if its left alone and not engaged, it's quite a huge jet with almost no way to defend itself besides a huge number of flares, chaff and a strong IRCM system.

In Air battles this vehicle would be slaughtered, having only the ability to attack and destroy bases and ground/sea targets. It would be most likely targeted by every single enemy jet, as its a easy kill.

In Ground battles, this vehicle could completely change the course of a match. Being able to either destroy half of a play area with 4 x FAB-9000, or choose to accurately drop cruise missiles such as the Kh-555. To dispense of 12 targets, not to mention these Air launched cruise missiles have a huge blast range equal to the [[FAB-3000M-46 (3,000 kg)|FAB-3000]] almost (''and i think a feature should be added where SPAA, Tanks and jets that have a caliber higher than 20 mm. can shoot these cruise missiles down and disarm it, as they are going on a max speed of 0.8 Mach''). But the jet it could be neutralized by top-tier SPAA and enemy jets quite easily if it chooses to attack aggressively with the Big bomb loadout, but if it we're to come with the glide bomb loadout, it could drop all 12 from a extreme high altitude and then go back to base unharmed.

With these things put into consideration and imagining a average match with the Tu-160, it is quite easy to say that this is in no way a actual potent vehicle to add to the normal tech tree to unlock: instead make it a '''main prize (non-premium)''' for a event similar to the [[38 cm Sturmmörser|38 cm sturmmörser]]. That German rocket artillery launcher was added to the game despite being not fit to being added to the game. But it was made possible to earn it, and once people earned it it became quite obvious that this vehicle is pure for memes, fun and for collection. And so the same i suggest for the Tu-160: make it a vehicle that can be earned only once through a event. And allow people to meme with it and have some fun in real matches or in custom ones.

Oh almost forgot to say, i think '''its Br should be 11.7'''. Because i couldn't come up with anything else ''for now''.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

== War Thunder Wiki work ==

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to 12.0 BR as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to a new missiles called the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the {{Annotation|R-73|The R-73 is a close-mid range missile coming in a all-aspect IR tracking. It has a operational range of 30 km and a speed of 2.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 105 kg and has a warhead of 7.4 kg, using a direct hit to detonate itself on the target. Also known as the successor to the R-60M}}. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting in in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to 12.0 BR as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to a new missiles called the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the {{Annotation|R-73|The R-73 is a close-mid range missile coming in a all-aspect IR tracking. It has a operational range of 30 km and a speed of 2.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 105 kg and has a warhead of 7.4 kg, using a direct hit to detonate itself on the target. Also known as the successor to the R-60M}}. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting in in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

== War Thunder Wiki work ==

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to 12.0 BR as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to a new missiles called the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the {{Annotation|R-73|The R-73 is a close-mid range missile coming in a all-aspect IR tracking. It has a operational range of 30 km and a speed of 2.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 105 kg and has a warhead of 7.4 kg, using a direct hit to detonate itself on the target. Also known as the successor to the R-60M}}. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting in in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== Description ==

As part of the Cold War remilitarization, the growing East German National People's Army (NVA) began receiving BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles (IFV) from both the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia. Throughout the Cold War, the NVA would receive a total of 1,133 BMP-1s for use in their motorized rifle regiments. Following the reunification of East and West Germany, the Bundeswehr integrated the BMP-1 into its ranks in 1991, upgrading and modifying them into the BMP-1A1 Ost variant to meet Bundeswehr standards. The BMP-1 was eventually retired from service by 1994 and either scrapped or sold to other countries.

The German version of the '''{{Specs|name}}''' (''Schützenpanzer, BMP-1'') was introduced into War Thunder in [[Update 1.93 "Shark Attack"]]. As an import, the {{Specs|name}} is similar to the Soviet Union's [[BMP-1|version]] with fast mobility, an assortment of dangerous armament, but paper-thin armour. The armament of a 73 mm HEAT warhead and a missile, either the MCLOS [[9M14]] or SACLOS [[9M113_Konkurs|9M113]], means the BMP-1 has more than enough firepower to take care of any enemy it encounters if it gets the first shot off. The BMP's mobility should allow it to get into places the enemy wouldn't expect it to be early in a match, and frequent repositioning is crucial as any incoming shots, even by autocannons and heavy machine guns, have the potential to penetrate the BMP-1's armour even from the front.

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Tank-Armour}}


The SPz BMP-1 has very little to speak of in the armour department. Minimal frontal and nearly non-existent side armour results in the vehicle being vulnerable to almost any incoming fire. As such, the vehicle's survivability stems entirely from its mobility and reasonably small profile. Where possible, utilise hills or other cover, only exposing as much of the vehicle as is necessary to engage an unaware target.

Despite the lack of armour, however, the SPz BMP-1 will, on occasion, survive hits unexpectedly - the internals of the vehicle are largely non-critical and many rounds will over-penetrate.

{{main|2A28 (73 mm)}}

The 2A28 main cannon, despite being the 'main' armament will more often than not act more as secondary armament, at least once the BMP-1P upgrade is researched, due to the 9M113 ATGM proving significantly more controllable and effective at all engagement ranges. Despite this, the PG-9 HEAT round proves valuable in a pinch, with well-placed shots able to disable critical components on most vehicles the {{PAGENAME}} will face. Keep in mind that the {{PAGENAME}} does not feature any sort of stabilisation at all, and due to its light weight, the gun is near impossible to get on target at speed.

The main cannon's primary drawback is its mediocre ballistic performance, with the HEAT round travelling at only 665 m/s and the HE round travelling at an abysmal 290 m/s.

==== Ammunition ====
When stock, all available ammunition for the weapon are unlocked - HEAT and HE.

Between the two, HE should be avoided as it only has 11 mm of penetration and 290 m/sec muzzle velocity. While the HEAT round has only 670 m/sec velocity, with some training it can be shot at targets over 1 km reliably.

The HEAT round has 300 mm penetration and very good damage output, single-shot destruction can be achieved quite often when shooting center mass, although larger tanks might give you some headache as they sometimes survive multiple shots.

{{main|9M14|9M113 Konkurs}}
'''9M14'''

The {{PAGENAME}} comes with a rail-mounted manually guided ATGM as stock, initially aimed manually and with somewhat mediocre penetration and explosive mass values. While occasionally useful, generally the main gun is easier and more reliable to use.

While stock, the {{PAGENAME}} is equipped with 9M14 missiles that penetrate 400 mm of armour. These missiles are first-generation, which means they cannot be aimed with the mouse pointer and are instead aimed with the WASD keys. However, the "BMP-1P" modification, when unlocked, will give the vehicle access to four more lethal 9M113 Konkurs missiles.

4 x 9M14 ATGM

* Guidance type: MCLOS
* Firing range: 3 km

'''9M113'''

The 9M113 has 500 mm of penetration and do very good damage while having good speed. Only their manoeuvrability is a bit lacking, but you can quickly make a follow up shot with your cannon or use smoke if you want to retreat. As these missiles are second generation, they are aimed with both the mouse pointer and WASD keys.

Once the BMP-1P upgrade is researched, the rail-mounted 9M14 ATGM is replaced with a spindle-mounted 9M113 ATGM. This ATGM is significantly more powerful and easier to use due to its semi-automatic guiding system. Improved penetration values and significantly increased explosive mass will result in far more reliable destructive power. Keep in mind that the ATGM can only be fired when stopped or at extremely low speeds.

4 x 9M113 ATGM (BMP-1P)

* Guidance type: SACLOS
* Firing range: 3 km

{{Specs-Tank-Weapon|4}}

{{main|PKT (7.62 mm)}}

The {{PAGENAME}} comes equipped with a coaxial 7.62 mm PKT machine gun. This is only useful for clearing small obstacles or exposed crew in open-topped vehicles. The {{PAGENAME}} is only equipped with one PKT machine gun with an ammo reserve of 1,000 rounds.

It's not useful and cannot aim at air targets due to the coaxial mount. As such, it should only be used on vehicles with soft armour like trucks or at exposed crew members, or just annoy enemies with it. In RB and SB, it can be used to throw up dirt in front of an enemy vehicle in order to blind them temporary.

== Usage in battles ==


The BMP-1 is quite distinctive due to its oddly-shaped hull. The vehicle is crewed by only three (no commander), but is very spacious, so shots from the side occasionally cause minimal or even no damage. The BMP-1 is equipped with a short-barreled 73 mm gun (an odd calibre) firing exclusively anti-tank grenades. The projectile drop is extreme, albeit not the worst in-game, and it can be used to great effect against many of the vehicles the BMP will face due to the consistent 300 mm of penetration at range. The standard PG-9 ammunition has an explosive mass of about 1.25 kg. The trade-off, in this case, is the low velocity and relatively poor slope characteristics (the penetration drops in half if more than 60 degrees of slope). Finally, as standard, the BMP-1 is equipped with the 9M14 ATGM, capable of penetrating 400 mm and carrying an explosive mass of 2.6 kg. It is WASD guided, and therefore somewhat tricky to use at first (and ''especially'' difficult to use in high packet-loss or high ping matches). An optional modification for the BMP-1 allows it to use turret-mounted smoke grenades as well as a next-generation missile, the 9M113. The BMP-1 (as of 1.77.2.149) is the earliest vehicle in-game to be able to use a SACLOS (mouse-guided) system for an ATGM. Not only is the missile nearly twice as fast as the 9M14, but it carries a notably larger explosive payload, and can penetrate up to 600 mm at 90 degrees at any range. As of 1.91, the BMP-1 can research NVD, which can help during night battles to help with visibility. NVD is available in commander, gunner, driver and outside viewports. Once purchased, the NVD modification also allows the use of a Infrared Spotlight to help illuminate targets if they are hard to see. However, it is mounted to the commander's hatch on the hull; while this allows it to rotate as long as the commander is alive, it will be stuck in place if the commander is knocked out.

Due to its nearly non-existent armour, the BMP-1 shouldn't be played like anything with actual armour. It is best used in a support or ambush role, using cover to ambush opponents, then taking them out with the combination of the autocannon and ATGM. The BMP-1 is quite effective when played this way. When in close-quarters combat, it is important to note that the missile launcher has slightly faster traverse than the turret. This can save it from being killed from the flanks. It can also be used to take out opponents from medium to long range with its missiles, although this strategy will prevent the BMP-1 from using its main gun. The small projectiles lose even more of their already small penetration at long ranges, but the missiles will not be affected by gravity or air resistance until very extreme ranges. Finally, the missiles and sometimes the autocannon can be used to take out slow air targets such as the helicopters that you will start to meet at these BR's.

'''ATGM Guide'''

The 9M14 Malyutka ATGM steers very controllably. When fired, the 9M14 drops just slightly above your aim reticle and is not usable in the first 5 metres. After surpassing 5 metres, the ATGM will fly in a straight line without any oscillation or deviation. When using the hand aiming guidance of the ATGM, it is very accurate and flies with minimal error compared to the SACLOS (aim reticle guided) 9M113 Konkurs, that tends to be unpredictable and quite unstable in-flight. You can easily swap from target-to-target with the hand aiming guidance, as it remains steady and doesn't oscillate. If a target is too close to you, aim slightly below the point you wish to hit. The ATGM will align itself slightly above the aim reticle almost right away, allowing you to hit or eliminate the target at closer range.

The 9M113 Konkurs ATGM steers rather unpredictably. When fired, the 9M113 drops below your aim reticle in the first 15 metres (due to being at low speed right after launch). After surpassing 15 metres, the ATGM will have accelerated enough to fly up and stabilize itself with your aim reticle. Due to this launch drop, it is suggested to aim slightly up when firing the ATGM: this will avoid having your ATGM hit the ground or any fences as sometimes that tends to happen. When the ATGM is flying, steer it gently and carefully. Instantly snapping to another target can cause it to oscillate from side-to-side and hit something on the way or miss the target entirely.

=== Pros and cons ===


* Fairly mobile, both weapon systems are particularly effective against the lightly armoured vehicles it will encounter often such as the [[Leopard I]], [[OF-40]], etc.
* One of the earliest ATGM vehicles available and the earliest to receive mouse-guided (SACLOS) ATGMs (with the BMP-1P modification)
* Decent main gun HEAT round penetrating up to 300 mm of armour at any range, effective against last-gen heavy tanks like the [[Conqueror]], [[M103]], etc.
* Amphibious ability which can allow it to reach positions that other vehicles struggle to
* Functional even in uptiers, due to its piercing ATGM and HEAT
* All ammunition types are default and as such have no cost
* Night Vision allows effectiveness in night battles

'''Cons:'''

* Mediocre reverse speed, particularly for a light tank
* Default missiles are manually guided, upgraded missiles must be unlocked with the BMP-1P research
* Chemical ammunition only, may struggle to damage vehicles with ERA like the [[M60A1 RISE (P)]]
* All available ammunition is hyper-sensitive and will detonate on hitting light obstacles such as fences or bushes
* Somewhat large silhouette for a light tank. Will get seen and shot at easier
* Minimal gun depression makes it struggle on hills
* Has no stabiliser, accurate shots on the move or in water are often not possible
* Only three crew members, two of whom sit extremely close together, reducing the vehicle's survivability
* Vulnerable to heavy machine gun and light cannon fire, particularly from the sides or top. SPAA like the [[Gepard]] are a big threat
* Very vulnerable to aircraft and helicopters
* Bombs and artillery can deal significant damage, even when at a distance
* Infrared Spotlight mounted to commander's hatch, won't rotate with turret when the commander is knocked out

== History ==

'''Development'''

In the 1950s, Soviet armoured personnel carrier (APC) tactics consisted of lightly armoured vehicles that would transport soldiers to combat zones, and then head back behind the lines to safety. During this time, the West German Bundeswehr was using the Schützenpanzer Lang and infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) tactics, where the vehicles would work with the infantry and tanks in order to support them, especially against lightly armoured targets. The BMP was a Soviet IFV design created in the late 1950's. Some of the requirements were the ability for all of the infantry carried to be able to fire from within the vehicle, which was unseen before in IFV designs. It was intended to support the infantry and combat enemy light vehicles. The design placed emphasis on speed and manoeuvrability, potent armament, and sufficient armament to protect against 23 mm autocannons over the frontal arc. There was a debate over how the vehicle should be wheeled or tracked, and a number of options were explored including hybrid designs with both. The design that was chosen was a tracked vehicle with the engine in the front and the crew compartment in the rear; it was designated the Object 764. A prototype was created in 1964, and the final design was chosen in 1965 - an improved model called the Object 765. In service the production model was called the BMP-1.

'''Design'''

The BMP-1 features a fully tracked hull, with a sharply angled glacis at the front, a centrally mounted turret, and a crew compartment in the rear of the hull, with doors for the infantry to mount and dismount the vehicle. The hull layout is as follows: the engine was in the front right section of the hull. The driver sat to the front left of the vehicle, the commander sat right behind the driver, and the gunner sat in the right side of the turret. The troop compartment located at the rear of the vehicle could seat 8 infantry soldiers. The ability to fire from inside the vehicle was provided by four firing ports on each side of the hull and one in the left door. There are also four hatches in the roof. The infantry sit on two benches with padding, back-to-back, facing the outer sides of the vehicle. The armour of the frontal arc is enough to generally protect against 20 mm autocannon fire, the side armour generally protects against 12.7 mm machine gun fire, and the roof and rear armour protects against small arms fire and shell fragments. In addition, the sloped glacis on the front of the hull also increased the chances of shells bouncing, because of the extreme angles. The protection level depended somewhat on the version of the BMP-1 in question, as different nations had differing levels of armour quality. The main armament consisted of a 73 mm 2A28 Grom smoothbore semi-automatic cannon, along with a 9M14 Malyutka anti-tank guided missile (ATGM). Secondary armament consisted of a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun. The engine provides 300 hp and is a six-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine. The suspension system used was a torsion bar suspension system. The BMP-1 is fully amphibious with little preparation. Before entering the water, a trim vane has to be raised, which provides additional frontal armour when in the lowered position. It can achieve 65 km/h (40 mph) on road and 8 km/h (5 mph) in water.

'''Production and Service'''

Over 20,000 BMP-1s were produced in the Soviet Union alone, with many more produced in China and Czechoslovakia. The BMP-1 was widely exported and saw significant combat worldwide. BMP-1s participated in the Yom Kippur War, the Angolan Civil War, the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War, and many other conflicts. It was well liked for its manoeuvrability, but it was found that the cannon lacked effective range and the 9M14 ATGMs were hard to control. During the Gulf War it was found that the 25 mm Bushmaster cannon found on the M2/M3 Bradley could consistently penetrate the frontal armour of the BMP-1, even at range.

'''BMP-1P Upgrade'''

The BMP-1P was an upgrade to the ATGM systems of the BMP-1. It replaced the 9M14 Malyutka missiles with 9M113 Konkurs or 9M111 missile. This increased the weight of the vehicle, leading to a slight decrease in manoeuvrability.

'''German Service'''

In 1974, East Germany ordered 1,133 BMP-1, and they were delivered between 1973 and 1989. Some of those BMP-1 were produced in Czechoslovakia. About 270 of the East German BMP-1's were of the BMP-1P type, with 950 being BMP-1SP2. The East German BMP-1P were known as the Schützenpanzer BMP-1P, or SPz BMP-1P. After the German reunification in 1990, the Bundeswehr modified 851 BMP-1 to NATO standards, and they entered service with the Bundeswehr as the BMP-1A1 Ost. Most of the vehicles upgraded were of the BMP-1P variant. In 1990, 110 unmodified BMP-1/BMP-1P were sold to Finland. 501 BMP-1A1 Ost. were sold to Greece between 1993 and 1994, and 350 were sold to Sweden in the early 1990's.

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

== War Thunder Wiki work ==

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to 12.0 BR as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to a new missiles called the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the {{Annotation|R-73|The R-73 is a close-mid range missile coming in a all-aspect IR tracking. It has a operational range of 30 km and a speed of 2.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 105 kg and has a warhead of 7.4 kg, using a direct hit to detonate itself on the target. Also known as the successor to the R-60M}}. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting in in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

* [[15cm sIG 33 B Sfl]]
* [[KV-2 (1939)|KV-2]], [[KV-2 (1940)]] and [[KW II 754 (r) (Germany)|German KV-2]]

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout for spading out the jet and gathering Reserach Points, carrying the ZB-500 will make you slightly lighter than if you we're to take FAB-500 instead. Drop for each base 4 500 Kg bombs
# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet light tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.71 "New E.R.A."]].

The {{PAGENAME}} is more of a shoot-and-scoot type of vehicle as an exposed {{PAGENAME}} is a dead {{PAGENAME}}, so it avoids being a target at all costs. It can also use its mobility to find reasonable sniping spots (for ATGM) and generally only use the cannon if an enemy is close and unaware of its presence, unless it's in arcade mode, where it can land artillery-like shots easily.

Remember that if anything sees the BMP, it can and should destroy it immediately, as it is extremely dangerous if left unattended - even a .50 cal might make quick work of the {{PAGENAME}} from the left side or the back.

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Tank-Armour}}


The {{PAGENAME}} has very little to speak of in the conventional armour department. Minimal frontal and nearly non-existent side armour results in the vehicle being vulnerable to almost any incoming fire under many angles. Sides, particularly the left one, are poorly defended and can be penetrated by 12.7 mm or bigger MG, the flatter the angle of attack, the faster will the BMP-1 give in and explode. Front is also weak enough to be penetrated by HMG, but it is very angled and can only be shot through by a tall tank from the top. 14.5 mm will occasionally bounce off, but if its user will actually go to MG sniper mode and fire straight at the tanks weakspots, it will not sustain.

As such, the vehicle's survivability stems from its internal modules, mobility and short profile. Despite the lack of armour, the engine compartment on the right side might block a lot of shots (even ATGM might not break through it sometimes) and it is reasonably difficult to hit closer to the turret, where the shot usually proves fatal.

Where possible, BMP should utilise hills or other cover, only exposing as much of the vehicle as is necessary to engage an unaware target. Ideally, only the small turret must be exposed, which makes attacking BMP back even more difficult or at least user should only demonstrate its right side.

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Tank-Mobility}}


{{tankMobility|abMinHp=465|rbMinHp=265}}

The {{PAGENAME}}'s mobility in RB is reasonably good, although somewhat lacking relative to other IFVs. Despite that, once it gets moving it can travel at a decent pace.

In AB, BMP-1 are very fast, if not the fastest, due to being able to accelerate to average speed of 55-60 km/h offroad very quickly and reaching maximum speed if they do not have to climb, so a determined BMP user can drive straight to a point and expect to meet nobody else, but other fast tanks, like wheeled light tanks or some medium tanks of rank VI (which also have poor armour and generally will not dare to do that).

In RB, be aware when attempting flanking manoeuvres and early pushes, as there are vehicles with better mobility characteristics, and in many cases you'll encounter a vehicle before reaching a desirable position.

=== Modifications and economy ===
{{Specs-Economy}}

== Armaments ==
{{Specs-Tank-Armaments}}
=== Main armament ===
{{Specs-Tank-Weapon|3}}

{{main|2A28 (73 mm)}}

The 2A28 main cannon, despite being the 'main' armament will more often than not act more as secondary armament, at least once the BMP-1P upgrade is researched, due to the 9M113 ATGM proving significantly more controllable and effective at all engagement ranges.

Despite this, the PG-9 HEAT round proves valuable in a pinch, with well-placed shots able to disable critical components on most vehicles the {{PAGENAME}} will face. Keep in mind that the {{PAGENAME}} does not feature any sort of stabilisation at all, and due to its chassis the gun is near impossible to get on target when braking or going cross-country at full speed.

The main cannon's primary drawback is its mediocre ballistic performance, with the HEAT round travelling at only 665 m/s and the HE round travelling at a 290 m/s. The projectiles, however, do not have shell falloff until 3km away and can be aimed using gun scope adjustment. BMP-1 does not have a rangefinder, so it is only reasonable to use HE shell in AB, and the HEAT will be difficult to aim past 900 m in RB. As such, the projectile drop is not the worst in-game.

HE shell is near useless at the BR range, and is extremely difficult to aim in RB. It still does have one very specific use - to attack open topped ATGM tanks without going at them, so at least two can be taken in AB just in case.

At least some care should be taken when firing the HEAT round as it has relatively poor slope characteristics, with the penetration dropping to just 150 mm if it hits an armour plate with more than 60 degrees of slope, which is not a problem at long range, but can become an issue when facing top superheavy tanks head-on, and you happened to run out of ATGM.

{{Specs-Tank-Weapon|1}}

{{main|9M14|9M113 Konkurs}}

The BMP-1 can use two different ATGMs which are mounted differently and have entirely different playstyles tied to them. Either missile reloads 8 seconds which is one of the fastest (beats most ATGM tanks by at least 2 seconds, other IFV by at least 4), if not the fastest, ATGM reload. Both missiles have poor turn rate at close range.

'''9M14'''
[[File:Unupgraded bmp1 kills it1 camp squad.jpg|thumb|right|An extreme example of 9M14 use in AB against technically superior ATGM tank. May or may not work in RB.]]
The {{PAGENAME}} comes with a rail-mounted manually-guided ATGM as stock, initially aimed manually, disabling tank movements, and has somewhat mediocre penetration and explosive mass values. While occasionally useful, generally the main gun is easier and more reliable to use. It also has very low starting speed of about 70 m/s.

In AB, it can pointed with a mouse and will not disable tank's movement. It also can be semi-reliably launched over cover, since it is launched upwards. By pointing a targeting reticle at a tank 200 m away behind a wall or a hill before launch, you are likely to hit them directly, however, sometimes it flinches.

* Guidance type: MCLOS
* Firing range: 3 km

'''9M113'''

Once the BMP-1P upgrade is researched, the rail-mounted 9M14 ATGM is replaced with a spindle-mounted 9M113 ATGM. This ATGM is significantly more powerful and easier to use due to its semi-automatic guiding system. It is launched straight and has maximum velocity from the get go.

Another reason to give up the first-gen missile is the smoke grenades which come with 9M113 and are extremely useful with directly launched ATGMs.

Improved penetration values and significantly increased explosive mass will result in far more reliable destructive power. Keep in mind that the ATGM still can only be fired when stopped or at extremely low speeds.

Be aware, that the new missile launcher is put above the top of a turret and is a liability, since it is very visible even when the tank hides behind a wall and is a valid target for hostiles. A single ATGM hit to the launcher will obliterate the BMP, and so will HE.

== Usage in battles ==


The {{PAGENAME}}'s limitations as a light tank hinders its ability to directly fight enemy vehicles, it will not survive any punishment sent its way. It needs to play with cover and concealment frequently, as any vehicle with a heavy machine gun, be it ground or air, can quite easily shred the {{PAGENAME}} apart if a round hits the left side or roof armour. Considering one of the common enemy nation of the {{PAGENAME}} in RB is the USA, which has a habit of putting a heavy machine gun on any tank, means that the {{PAGENAME}} needs to be extremely careful and aware of their surroundings before moving up, lest it gets torn apart by a barrage of bullets. In AB, the biggest threat to it is its own brethren, as fighting other BMPs is very difficult and relies on difference in your skills a lot (or, at least, on ability to press "aim assist" and "fire" faster).

However, the {{PAGENAME}}'s traits in mobility and firepower makes the vehicle a good scout and ambush vehicle.

; Scouting

The {{PAGENAME}} in War Thunder can't serve as an IFV as it is in real life due to the lack of infantry, but it does have the ability to active scout. This role makes the {{PAGENAME}}'s mobility an important factor of the vehicle's success, as getting to places that the enemy is not aware of to scout out can mean a lot to the team's successes. Even in the active scouting's cooldown period, do not be afraid to communicate to the team where the enemy is with the map and chat function.

In this role, the {{PAGENAME}} should avoid contact with the enemy. Utilise useful camouflage and whatever cover is available to make sure the enemy cannot see the {{PAGENAME}} at a first glance (or without switching to any available special optics like thermals). One can also use the amphibious nature of the {{PAGENAME}} to get into areas through paths that the enemy would not expect. Although this role may mean the {{PAGENAME}} is not as active in destroying the enemy, it is an important role for the team overall that the scout continues to observe the enemy so that battlefield information is kept up to date.

The {{PAGENAME}} of course may be spotted during this endeavour, and so an exit strategy should be maintained. Should an enemy round start flying around the {{PAGENAME}}'s direction, or an enemy was observed trying to move onto the {{PAGENAME}}'s position, begin exfiltrating. Utilise smoke for concealment (default with the ESS, but smoke grenades are available with the BMP-1P modification upgrade) if needed.

; Ambushing

Though the {{PAGENAME}} is not good standing up against enemy tanks, the {{PAGENAME}} still has the necessary firepower to deal with most. The 73 mm has decent amount of penetration for a hit, but the low muzzle velocity is detrimental for long-range targets (although, it can be utilised for a parabolic firing arc against enemies beyond hills). The key weapon on the {{PAGENAME}} is the four ATGM mounted on the turret, with either the manual 9M14 or the semi-active 9M113 missile (the latter with the BMP-1P upgrade) as options. Although both have better penetration values than the 73 mm cannon, the 9M113 missile with the BMP-1P upgrade is a much better candidate for this role due to the increased missile velocity and lethality.

Moving around the flanks, the {{PAGENAME}} should try to find a nice, open field of fire against common enemy paths. Try to establish the {{PAGENAME}} around objectives so as teammates fire upon the enemy and force them to take cover, the {{PAGENAME}} can manoeuvre to an ideal angle and hit the enemy thinking they are in cover. The ideal manner of firing on the enemy is, if the target is less than 500 m, to engage first with the 73 mm cannon. If this does not destroy nor critically damage the enemy to disable their movement or firepower, then follow up with a missile into the hull. If the target is at farther ranges, engage first with the missile to ensure the first shot hits the target. Be wary of longer engagements as there are only 4 missiles onboard the {{PAGENAME}}, and more shots will mean the enemy have a better idea of the {{PAGENAME}}'s position.

If ambushing from the sides of an enemy's attack direction is not ideal to the map, a "shoot-and-scoot" tactic of hiding behind cover and exposing the {{PAGENAME}} only long enough to fire a missile or shot can be sufficient too in dealing with the enemy. However, beware of exposing the {{PAGENAME}} by manner of going over hills, as the turret's gun depression is only -4 degrees (-5 degree for the 9M113 missile launcher) and doing so will expose a large portion of the {{PAGENAME}}'s hull to the enemy.

Should the {{PAGENAME}}'s position become compromised, dump smoke and exfiltrate the area.

; Night-fighting

[[File:BMP-1 InfraredSpotlight.jpg|right|x250px|thumb|The BMP-1's with the fixed hull-mounted IR spotlight on in NVD mode. One can observe that the spotlight does not follow the turret.]]

Either of the role above can still be performed at night, but one must utilise the tools available in the {{PAGENAME}} to make the most of the environment.

The {{PAGENAME}} can research the Night Vision Device (NVD) modification, which can help during night battles to help with visibility. NVD is available in commander, gunner, driver and outside view ports. Utilising the NVD can brighten up a hazy horizon due to the night.

Another tool with the NVD modification is an infrared spotlight, which can help illuminate targets if they are hard to see even with the NVD. However, the spotlight is fixed to the hull and does not move with the gun, requiring alignment of the hull towards the target requiring illumination. The infrared spotlight, when on, also marks the {{PAGENAME}} with a giant light that any enemy with the same NVD can spot easily. As such, usage of the infrared spotlight should be minimised, with total reliance on the base NVD by itself or only periodically switching on the spotlight and quickly turning it off once a picture of the battlefield is obtained.

; Fighting people which are aware of BMP-1 position

There are two ways in which you can defeat opponents straight up charging at your position: by corner camping and by abusing scouting.

Corner camping is simple as long as you have both weapons loaded - you take such a position, that does not allow an enemy to fire at {{PAGENAME}} until you shot their front with a gun (which almost guarantees that their driver is gone and causes the tank to continue moving forward and also eventually stop) and "double tap" them for a good measure with an ATGM to the exposed side, destroying the rest of the crew. Usually, even if an enemy tank somehow survives, you can reload faster than their crew replaces the gunner or the driver. Do note, that camping behind destructible cover is a bad idea, since kinetic shells can penetrate them, and your chemical shells cannot.

Against other missile tanks this tactic is a double edged sword. Make sure to hide ATGM launcher from missile tanks, as otherwise they might just fire at it and destroy you. If you see a vertical ATGM tank charging directly at you, that generally means its user knows how to fire over obstacles and the tactic will not work if you don't have a tall wall. Even if you do have a tall wall, some double launcher ATGMs can go as far as straight up demolishing the building you are hiding behind just to get to you.

Using scouting is more difficult and is more fit for the arcade mode - use scouting on enemy tank and fire smoke screens to break direct vision, aim assist and marking, then roll out and fire ATGM in direction the enemy tank is supposed to be in. This is unlikely to work against other light tanks, because they might just spam scouting at everything they see, including you, naturally countering the tactic.

'''ATGM guide'''

The 9M14 Malyutka ATGM steers very controllably. When fired, the 9M14 drops just slightly above your aim reticle and is not usable in the first 5 meters. After surpassing 5 meters, the ATGM will fly in a absolute straight line of where its heading without any oscillation or going off-course. When using the hand aiming guideance of the ATGM (with its keybinds) it is very accurate and flies with zero errors compared to the SACLOS (aim reticle guided) 9M113 Konkurs, that tends to be unpredictable and quite unstable in-flight. You can easily swap from target-to-target with the hand aiming guidance, as it remains steady and doesn't oscillate. If a target is too close to you, aim slightly below the point you wish to hit. The ATGM will align itself slightly above the aim reticle almost right away, allowing you to hit or eliminate the target at closer range.

The 9M113 Konkurs ATGM steers rather unpredictably. When fired, the 9M113 drops below your aim reticle in the first 15 metres (due to being at low speed right after launch). After surpassing 15 metres, the ATGM will have accelerated enough to fly up and stabilize itself with your aim reticle. Due to this launch drop, it is suggested to aim slightly up when firing the ATGM: this will avoid having your ATGM hit the ground or any fences as sometimes that tends to happen. When the ATGM is flying, steer it gently and carefully. Instantly snapping to another target can cause it to oscillate from side-to-side and hit something on the way or miss the target entirely.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Fairly mobile and thus very good at flanking
* Both weapon systems are particularly effective against lightly armoured vehicles, like the [[Leopard I]], [[OF-40]], etc.
* Has a below 4-second reload if it chain fires both weapons
* One of the earliest ATGM vehicles available and the earliest to receive mouse-guided (SACLOS) ATGMs (with the BMP-1P modification)
* Decent 73 mm HEAT penetrating up to 300 mm of armour, effective against last-gen heavy tanks like the [[Conqueror]], [[M103]], etc.
* Amphibious ability allows it to reach positions that other vehicles struggle to
* Functional even in uptiers, due to its piercing ATGM and HEAT
* Night Vision allows effectiveness in night battles
* Unless it is hit straight in the turret compartment there is always a chance that it somehow survives

'''Cons:'''

* Mediocre reverse speed for a light tank, limiting its tactical agility
* Default missiles are manually guided in RB, can be challenging to use
* Poor survivability due to thin armour, minimal crew number and large size
* You can't use the smoke grenades together with the original missiles
* Only has chemical ammunition, struggles to damage vehicles with ERA like [[M60A1 RISE (P)]] or [[Centurion Mk.5 AVRE]], can't fire through light obstacles like fences or bushes, buildings
* Minimal -4° gun depression makes it struggle in hills
* Has no stabiliser, a disadvantage against stabilised/stationary tanks like [[FV4202]]
* Infrared Spotlight mounted to hull, won't rotate with turret when NVD is on
* Can carry only 4 ATGMs

== History ==


'''Development'''

In the 1950s, Soviet armoured personnel carrier (APC) tactics consisted of lightly armoured vehicles that would transport soldiers to combat zones, and then head back behind the lines to safety. During this time, the West German Bundeswehr was using the Schützenpanzer Lang and infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) tactics, where the vehicles would work with the infantry and tanks in order to support them, especially against lightly armoured targets. The BMP was a Soviet IFV design created in the late 1950's. Some of the requirements were the ability for all of the infantry carried to be able to fire from within the vehicle, which was unseen before in IFV designs. It was intended to support the infantry and combat enemy light vehicles. The design placed emphasis on speed and manoeuvrability, potent armament, and sufficient armament to protect against 23 mm autocannons over the frontal arc. There was a debate over how the vehicle should be wheeled or tracked, and a number of options were explored including hybrid designs with both. The design that was chosen was a tracked vehicle with the engine in the front and the crew compartment in the rear; it was designated the Object 764. A prototype was created in 1964, and the final design was chosen in 1965 - an improved model called the Object 765. In service the production model was called the BMP-1.

'''Design'''

The BMP-1 features a fully tracked hull, with a sharply angled glacis at the front, a centrally mounted turret, and a crew compartment in the rear of the hull, with doors for the infantry to mount and dismount the vehicle. The hull layout is as follows: the engine was in the front right section of the hull. The driver sat to the front left of the vehicle, the commander sat right behind the driver, and the gunner sat in the right side of the turret. The troop compartment located at the rear of the vehicle could seat 8 infantry soldiers. The ability to fire from inside the vehicle was provided by four firing ports on each side of the hull and one in the left door. There are also four hatches in the roof. The infantry sit on two benches with padding, back to back, facing the outer sides of the vehicle. The armour of the frontal arc is enough to generally protect against 20 mm autocannon fire, the side armour generally protects against 12.7 mm machine gun fire, and the roof and rear armour protects against small arms fire and shell fragments. In addition, the sloped glacis on the front of the hull also increased the chances of shells bouncing, because of the extreme angles. The protection level depended somewhat on the version of the BMP-1 in question, as different nations had differing levels of armour quality. The main armament consisted of a 73 mm 2A28 Grom smoothbore semi-automatic cannon, along with a 9M14 Malyutka anti-tank guided missile (ATGM). Secondary armament consisted of a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun. The engine provides 300 hp, and is a six-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine. The suspension system used was a torsion bar suspension system. The BMP-1 is fully amphibious with little preparation. Before entering the water a trim vane has to be raised, which provides additional frontal armour when in the lowered position. It can achieve 65 km/h (40 mph) on road and 8 km/h (5 mph) in water.

'''Production and Service'''

Over 20,000 BMP-1's were produced in the Soviet Union alone, with many more produced in China and Czechoslovakia. The BMP-1 was widely exported and saw significant combat worldwide. BMP-1's participated in the Yom Kippur War, the Angolan Civil War, the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War, and many other conflicts. It was well liked for its manoeuvrability, but it was found that the cannon lacked effective range and the 9M14 ATGMs were hard to control. During the Gulf War it was found that the 25 mm Bushmaster cannon found on the M2/M3 Bradley could consistently penetrate the frontal armour of the BMP-1, even at range.

'''BMP-1P Upgrade'''

The BMP-1P was an upgrade to the ATGM systems of the BMP-1. It replaced the 9M14 Malyutka missiles with 9M113 Konkurs or 9M111 missile. This increased the weight of the vehicle, leading to a slight decrease in manoeuvrability.

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet light tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.71 "New E.R.A."]].

The {{PAGENAME}} is more of a shoot-and-scoot type of vehicle as an exposed {{PAGENAME}} is a dead {{PAGENAME}}, so it avoids being a target at all costs. It can also use its mobility to find reasonable sniping spots (for ATGM) and generally only use the cannon if an enemy is close and unaware of its presence, unless it's in arcade mode, where it can land artillery-like shots easily.

Remember that if anything sees the BMP, it can and should destroy it immediately, as it is extremely dangerous if left unattended - even a .50 cal might make quick work of the {{PAGENAME}} from the left side or the back.

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Tank-Armour}}


The {{PAGENAME}} has very little to speak of in the conventional armour department. Minimal frontal and nearly non-existent side armour results in the vehicle being vulnerable to almost any incoming fire under many angles. Sides, particularly the left one, are poorly defended and can be penetrated by 12.7 mm or bigger MG, the flatter the angle of attack, the faster will the BMP-1 give in and explode. Front is also weak enough to be penetrated by HMG, but it is very angled and can only be shot through by a tall tank from the top. 14.5 mm will occasionally bounce off, but if its user will actually go to MG sniper mode and fire straight at the tanks weakspots, it will not sustain.

As such, the vehicle's survivability stems from its internal modules, mobility and short profile. Despite the lack of armour, the engine compartment on the right side might block a lot of shots (even ATGM might not break through it sometimes) and it is reasonably difficult to hit closer to the turret, where the shot usually proves fatal.

Where possible, BMP should utilise hills or other cover, only exposing as much of the vehicle as is necessary to engage an unaware target. Ideally, only the small turret must be exposed, which makes attacking BMP back even more difficult or at least user should only demonstrate its right side.

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Tank-Mobility}}


{{tankMobility|abMinHp=465|rbMinHp=265}}

The {{PAGENAME}}'s mobility in RB is reasonably good, although somewhat lacking relative to other IFVs. Despite that, once it gets moving it can travel at a decent pace.

In AB, BMP-1 are very fast, if not the fastest, due to being able to accelerate to average speed of 55-60 km/h offroad very quickly and reaching maximum speed if they do not have to climb, so a determined BMP user can drive straight to a point and expect to meet nobody else, but other fast tanks, like wheeled light tanks or some medium tanks of rank VI (which also have poor armour and generally will not dare to do that).

In RB, be aware when attempting flanking manoeuvres and early pushes, as there are vehicles with better mobility characteristics, and in many cases you'll encounter a vehicle before reaching a desirable position.

=== Modifications and economy ===

== Armaments ==
{{Specs-Tank-Armaments}}
=== Main armament ===
{{Specs-Tank-Weapon|3}}

{{main|2A28 (73 mm)}}

The 2A28 main cannon, despite being the 'main' armament will more often than not act more as secondary armament, at least once the BMP-1P upgrade is researched, due to the 9M113 ATGM proving significantly more controllable and effective at all engagement ranges.

Despite this, the PG-9 HEAT round proves valuable in a pinch, with well-placed shots able to disable critical components on most vehicles the {{PAGENAME}} will face. Keep in mind that the {{PAGENAME}} does not feature any sort of stabilisation at all, and due to its chassis the gun is near impossible to get on target when braking or going cross-country at full speed.

The main cannon's primary drawback is its mediocre ballistic performance, with the HEAT round travelling at only 665 m/s and the HE round travelling at a 290 m/s. The projectiles, however, do not have shell falloff until 3km away and can be aimed using gun scope adjustment. BMP-1 does not have a rangefinder, so it is only reasonable to use HE shell in AB, and the HEAT will be difficult to aim past 900 m in RB. As such, the projectile drop is not the worst in-game.

HE shell is near useless at the BR range, and is extremely difficult to aim in RB. It still does have one very specific use - to attack open topped ATGM tanks without going at them, so at least two can be taken in AB just in case.

At least some care should be taken when firing the HEAT round as it has relatively poor slope characteristics, with the penetration dropping to just 150 mm if it hits an armour plate with more than 60 degrees of slope, which is not a problem at long range, but can become an issue when facing top superheavy tanks head-on, and you happened to run out of ATGM.

{{main|9M14|9M113 Konkurs}}

The BMP-1 can use two different ATGMs which are mounted differently and have entirely different playstyles tied to them. Either missile reloads 8 seconds which is one of the fastest (beats most ATGM tanks by at least 2 seconds, other IFV by at least 4), if not the fastest, ATGM reload. Both missiles have poor turn rate at close range.

'''9M14'''
[[File:Unupgraded bmp1 kills it1 camp squad.jpg|thumb|right|An extreme example of 9M14 use in AB against technically superior ATGM tank. May or may not work in RB.]]
The {{PAGENAME}} comes with a rail-mounted manually-guided ATGM as stock, initially aimed manually, disabling tank movements, and has somewhat mediocre penetration and explosive mass values. While occasionally useful, generally the main gun is easier and more reliable to use. It also has very low starting speed of about 70 m/s.

In AB, it can pointed with a mouse and will not disable tank's movement. It also can be semi-reliably launched over cover, since it is launched upwards. By pointing a targeting reticle at a tank 200 m away behind a wall or a hill before launch, you are likely to hit them directly, however, sometimes it flinches.

* Guidance type: MCLOS
* Firing range: 3 km

'''9M113'''

Once the BMP-1P upgrade is researched, the rail-mounted 9M14 ATGM is replaced with a spindle-mounted 9M113 ATGM. This ATGM is significantly more powerful and easier to use due to its semi-automatic guiding system. It is launched straight and has maximum velocity from the get go.

Another reason to give up the first-gen missile is the smoke grenades which come with 9M113 and are extremely useful with directly launched ATGMs.

Improved penetration values and significantly increased explosive mass will result in far more reliable destructive power. Keep in mind that the ATGM still can only be fired when stopped or at extremely low speeds.

Be aware, that the new missile launcher is put above the top of a turret and is a liability, since it is very visible even when the tank hides behind a wall and is a valid target for hostiles. A single ATGM hit to the launcher will obliterate the BMP, and so will HE.

{{Specs-Tank-Weapon|4}}

{{main|PKT (7.62 mm)}}

The {{PAGENAME}} comes equipped with a coaxial 7.62 mm PKT machine gun. This is only useful for clearing small obstacles or exposed crew in open-top vehicles.

== Usage in battles ==


The {{PAGENAME}}'s limitations as a light tank hinders its ability to directly fight enemy vehicles, it will not survive any punishment sent its way. It needs to play with cover and concealment frequently, as any vehicle with a heavy machine gun, be it ground or air, can quite easily shred the {{PAGENAME}} apart if a round hits the left side or roof armour. Considering one of the common enemy nation of the {{PAGENAME}} in RB is the USA, which has a habit of putting a heavy machine gun on any tank, means that the {{PAGENAME}} needs to be extremely careful and aware of their surroundings before moving up, lest it gets torn apart by a barrage of bullets. In AB, the biggest threat to it is its own brethren, as fighting other BMPs is very difficult and relies on difference in your skills a lot (or, at least, on ability to press "aim assist" and "fire" faster).

However, the {{PAGENAME}}'s traits in mobility and firepower makes the vehicle a good scout and ambush vehicle.

; Scouting

The {{PAGENAME}} in War Thunder can't serve as an IFV as it is in real life due to the lack of infantry, but it does have the ability to active scout. This role makes the {{PAGENAME}}'s mobility an important factor of the vehicle's success, as getting to places that the enemy is not aware of to scout out can mean a lot to the team's successes. Even in the active scouting's cooldown period, do not be afraid to communicate to the team where the enemy is with the map and chat function.

In this role, the {{PAGENAME}} should avoid contact with the enemy. Utilise useful camouflage and whatever cover is available to make sure the enemy cannot see the {{PAGENAME}} at a first glance (or without switching to any available special optics like thermals). One can also use the amphibious nature of the {{PAGENAME}} to get into areas through paths that the enemy would not expect. Although this role may mean the {{PAGENAME}} is not as active in destroying the enemy, it is an important role for the team overall that the scout continues to observe the enemy so that battlefield information is kept up to date.

The {{PAGENAME}} of course may be spotted during this endeavour, and so an exit strategy should be maintained. Should an enemy round start flying around the {{PAGENAME}}'s direction, or an enemy was observed trying to move onto the {{PAGENAME}}'s position, begin exfiltrating. Utilise smoke for concealment (default with the ESS, but smoke grenades are available with the BMP-1P modification upgrade) if needed.

; Ambushing

Though the {{PAGENAME}} is not good standing up against enemy tanks, the {{PAGENAME}} still has the necessary firepower to deal with most. The 73 mm has decent amount of penetration for a hit, but the low muzzle velocity is detrimental for long-range targets (although, it can be utilised for a parabolic firing arc against enemies beyond hills). The key weapon on the {{PAGENAME}} is the four ATGM mounted on the turret, with either the manual 9M14 or the semi-active 9M113 missile (the latter with the BMP-1P upgrade) as options. Although both have better penetration values than the 73 mm cannon, the 9M113 missile with the BMP-1P upgrade is a much better candidate for this role due to the increased missile velocity and lethality.

Moving around the flanks, the {{PAGENAME}} should try to find a nice, open field of fire against common enemy paths. Try to establish the {{PAGENAME}} around objectives so as teammates fire upon the enemy and force them to take cover, the {{PAGENAME}} can manoeuvre to an ideal angle and hit the enemy thinking they are in cover. The ideal manner of firing on the enemy is, if the target is less than 500 m, to engage first with the 73 mm cannon. If this does not destroy nor critically damage the enemy to disable their movement or firepower, then follow up with a missile into the hull. If the target is at farther ranges, engage first with the missile to ensure the first shot hits the target. Be wary of longer engagements as there are only 4 missiles onboard the {{PAGENAME}}, and more shots will mean the enemy have a better idea of the {{PAGENAME}}'s position.

If ambushing from the sides of an enemy's attack direction is not ideal to the map, a "shoot-and-scoot" tactic of hiding behind cover and exposing the {{PAGENAME}} only long enough to fire a missile or shot can be sufficient too in dealing with the enemy. However, beware of exposing the {{PAGENAME}} by manner of going over hills, as the turret's gun depression is only -4 degrees (-5 degree for the 9M113 missile launcher) and doing so will expose a large portion of the {{PAGENAME}}'s hull to the enemy.

Should the {{PAGENAME}}'s position become compromised, dump smoke and exfiltrate the area.

; Night-fighting

[[File:BMP-1 InfraredSpotlight.jpg|right|x250px|thumb|The BMP-1's with the fixed hull-mounted IR spotlight on in NVD mode. One can observe that the spotlight does not follow the turret.]]

Either of the role above can still be performed at night, but one must utilise the tools available in the {{PAGENAME}} to make the most of the environment.

The {{PAGENAME}} can research the Night Vision Device (NVD) modification, which can help during night battles to help with visibility. NVD is available in commander, gunner, driver and outside view ports. Utilising the NVD can brighten up a hazy horizon due to the night.

Another tool with the NVD modification is an infrared spotlight, which can help illuminate targets if they are hard to see even with the NVD. However, the spotlight is fixed to the hull and does not move with the gun, requiring alignment of the hull towards the target requiring illumination. The infrared spotlight, when on, also marks the {{PAGENAME}} with a giant light that any enemy with the same NVD can spot easily. As such, usage of the infrared spotlight should be minimised, with total reliance on the base NVD by itself or only periodically switching on the spotlight and quickly turning it off once a picture of the battlefield is obtained.

; Fighting people which are aware of BMP-1 position

There are two ways in which you can defeat opponents straight up charging at your position: by corner camping and by abusing scouting.

Corner camping is simple as long as you have both weapons loaded - you take such a position, that does not allow an enemy to fire at {{PAGENAME}} until you shot their front with a gun (which almost guarantees that their driver is gone and causes the tank to continue moving forward and also eventually stop) and "double tap" them for a good measure with an ATGM to the exposed side, destroying the rest of the crew. Usually, even if an enemy tank somehow survives, you can reload faster than their crew replaces the gunner or the driver. Do note, that camping behind destructible cover is a bad idea, since kinetic shells can penetrate them, and your chemical shells cannot.

Against other missile tanks this tactic is a double edged sword. Make sure to hide ATGM launcher from missile tanks, as otherwise they might just fire at it and destroy you. If you see a vertical ATGM tank charging directly at you, that generally means its user knows how to fire over obstacles and the tactic will not work if you don't have a tall wall. Even if you do have a tall wall, some double launcher ATGMs can go as far as straight up demolishing the building you are hiding behind just to get to you.

Using scouting is more difficult and is more fit for the arcade mode - use scouting on enemy tank and fire smoke screens to break direct vision, aim assist and marking, then roll out and fire ATGM in direction the enemy tank is supposed to be in. This is unlikely to work against other light tanks, because they might just spam scouting at everything they see, including you, naturally countering the tactic.

'''ATGM Guide'''

# '''(9M113)''' With the introduction of the "[[Update "La Royale"|La Royale]]" Update, the physics of ATGMs have been updated to a more realistic engine. Therefore, the 9M113 Konkurs ATGM steers more unpredictably now. When fired, the 9M113 drops below your aim reticle in the first 15 meters (due to being at low speed right after launch). After surpassing 15 meters, the ATGM will have accelerated enough to fly up and stabilize itself with your aim reticle. Due to this launch drop, it is suggested to aim slightly up when firing the ATGM: this will avoid having your ATGM hit the ground or any fences as sometimes that tends to happen. When the ATGM is flying, steer it gently and carefully. Instantly snapping at another target can cause it to oscillate from right to left (or the other way around) and hit something on the way or miss the target entirely. It should also be noted that the further the ATGM goes, the less controllable it becomes, causing it to deviate slightly from your aim reticle. To counteract this: aim in the opposite direction of where the ATGM is deviating to. For example, if it is going right up, aim slightly in the left down direction. By doing this, your ATGM will align itself again to the point you wish for it to hit.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Fairly mobile and thus very good at flanking
* Both weapon systems are particularly effective against lightly armoured vehicles, like the [[Leopard I]], [[OF-40]], etc.
* Has a below 4-second reload if it chain fires both weapons
* One of the earliest ATGM vehicles available and the earliest to receive mouse-guided (SACLOS) ATGMs (with the BMP-1P modification)
* Decent 73 mm HEAT penetrating up to 300 mm of armour, effective against last-gen heavy tanks like the [[Conqueror]], [[M103]], etc.
* Amphibious ability allows it to reach positions that other vehicles struggle to
* Functional even in uptiers, due to its piercing ATGM and HEAT
* Night Vision allows effectiveness in night battles
* Unless it is hit straight in the turret compartment there is always a chance that it somehow survives

'''Cons:'''

* Mediocre reverse speed for a light tank, limiting its tactical agility
* Default missiles are manually guided in RB, can be challenging to use
* Poor survivability due to thin armour, minimal crew number and large size
* You can't use the smoke grenades together with the original missiles
* Only has chemical ammunition, struggles to damage vehicles with ERA like [[M60A1 RISE (P)]] or [[Centurion Mk.5 AVRE]], can't fire through light obstacles like fences or bushes, buildings
* Minimal -4° gun depression makes it struggle in hills
* Has no stabiliser, a disadvantage against stabilised/stationary tanks like [[FV4202]]
* Infrared Spotlight mounted to hull, won't rotate with turret when NVD is on
* Can carry only 4 ATGMs

== History ==


'''Development'''

In the 1950s, Soviet armoured personnel carrier (APC) tactics consisted of lightly armoured vehicles that would transport soldiers to combat zones, and then head back behind the lines to safety. During this time, the West German Bundeswehr was using the Schützenpanzer Lang and infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) tactics, where the vehicles would work with the infantry and tanks in order to support them, especially against lightly armoured targets. The BMP was a Soviet IFV design created in the late 1950's. Some of the requirements were the ability for all of the infantry carried to be able to fire from within the vehicle, which was unseen before in IFV designs. It was intended to support the infantry and combat enemy light vehicles. The design placed emphasis on speed and manoeuvrability, potent armament, and sufficient armament to protect against 23 mm autocannons over the frontal arc. There was a debate over how the vehicle should be wheeled or tracked, and a number of options were explored including hybrid designs with both. The design that was chosen was a tracked vehicle with the engine in the front and the crew compartment in the rear; it was designated the Object 764. A prototype was created in 1964, and the final design was chosen in 1965 - an improved model called the Object 765. In service the production model was called the BMP-1.

'''Design'''

The BMP-1 features a fully tracked hull, with a sharply angled glacis at the front, a centrally mounted turret, and a crew compartment in the rear of the hull, with doors for the infantry to mount and dismount the vehicle. The hull layout is as follows: the engine was in the front right section of the hull. The driver sat to the front left of the vehicle, the commander sat right behind the driver, and the gunner sat in the right side of the turret. The troop compartment located at the rear of the vehicle could seat 8 infantry soldiers. The ability to fire from inside the vehicle was provided by four firing ports on each side of the hull and one in the left door. There are also four hatches in the roof. The infantry sit on two benches with padding, back to back, facing the outer sides of the vehicle. The armour of the frontal arc is enough to generally protect against 20 mm autocannon fire, the side armour generally protects against 12.7 mm machine gun fire, and the roof and rear armour protects against small arms fire and shell fragments. In addition, the sloped glacis on the front of the hull also increased the chances of shells bouncing, because of the extreme angles. The protection level depended somewhat on the version of the BMP-1 in question, as different nations had differing levels of armour quality. The main armament consisted of a 73 mm 2A28 Grom smoothbore semi-automatic cannon, along with a 9M14 Malyutka anti-tank guided missile (ATGM). Secondary armament consisted of a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun. The engine provides 300 hp, and is a six-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine. The suspension system used was a torsion bar suspension system. The BMP-1 is fully amphibious with little preparation. Before entering the water a trim vane has to be raised, which provides additional frontal armour when in the lowered position. It can achieve 65 km/h (40 mph) on road and 8 km/h (5 mph) in water.

'''Production and Service'''

Over 20,000 BMP-1's were produced in the Soviet Union alone, with many more produced in China and Czechoslovakia. The BMP-1 was widely exported and saw significant combat worldwide. BMP-1's participated in the Yom Kippur War, the Angolan Civil War, the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War, and many other conflicts. It was well liked for its manoeuvrability, but it was found that the cannon lacked effective range and the 9M14 ATGMs were hard to control. During the Gulf War it was found that the 25 mm Bushmaster cannon found on the M2/M3 Bradley could consistently penetrate the frontal armour of the BMP-1, even at range.

'''BMP-1P Upgrade'''

The BMP-1P was an upgrade to the ATGM systems of the BMP-1. It replaced the 9M14 Malyutka missiles with 9M113 Konkurs or 9M111 missile. This increased the weight of the vehicle, leading to a slight decrease in manoeuvrability.

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

* 8 x 100 kg OFAB-100 bombs (800 kg total)
* 6 x 250 kg FAB-250M-46 bombs (1,500 kg total)
* 2 x 500 kg FAB-500M-46 bombs (1,000 kg total)

* 1 x 3,000 kg FAB-3000M-46 bomb (3,000 kg total)

== Usage in battles ==


The Yak-28B has 2 very powerful engines that give it a immense acceleration. Even at extreme high altitudes the jet bomber is capable of retaining a very high speed above Mach 1, where others will start to lose speed. It has a poor turn rate, but it is paired with a high thrust ratio: allowing you to retain your speed when turning. Your best chances at surviving is to stay high at all times and keep going above Mach 1 (your bombs still drop beyond Mach 1). You are untouchable when going high altitude paired with sound breaking speed, even able to outfly some early air-to-air missiles. Your only weakness being when landing and taking off, being able to get intercepted by enemy jets. It comes with CCIP that gives you the gimmick to allow to bomb from third perspective accurately. Lastly it also has countermeasures that can help you to defend yourself from missiles if they were to get too close to you.

'''Air battles'''

At the start of a match, take 20 minutes of fuel, equip Air targets belt and get yourself 6 x 250 kg bombs or the FAB-3000M-46 (6 x 250 kg allows you to preciselly eliminate bases while FAB-3000M-46 gives the most explosive damage and is best used for bombing and quick resupplying). Start ascending on a 30-45° angle to an altitude of 6-12 km to any of the bomb targets (best to go for the furthest one as many bombers and strike aircraft will go for the first one). Once on a high altitude make sure you are certain that your bomb target will not get bombed by any teammates, if they all get bombed: simply remain high altitude on 100% thrust (not WEP) and wait for additional bomb targets to spawn. Once you have released your bombs start heading back to base, when coming close to base fully turn off your engine to bleed speed the most and land and repeat. If you are among the last players left of your team, take max fuel and ascend to the max altitude and remain there on 100% thrust, if someone starts coming close start the afterburners and fly away from the enemy. Tho this tactic is seen as a annoying and unfair, also known as "space climbing".

'''CAS'''

Equip your Yak-28B with the FAB-3000M-46 and take the minimal fuel. When spawned in start ascending to 3-4 km where your jet won't break due to going too fast, Try to spot a enemy target or receive information from your teammates on where there are targets. Once you have decided and dropped your bomb, return back to base and repeat.

'''Enemies worth noting:'''

* [[Harrier (Family)]]: Harriers are very common and can pose you a significant threat, especially the ones that are loaded with the AIM-9G (AV-8A, AV-8C, Harrier GR.3) that has a very long range and a good 18 G overload. Harriers can also very commonly be seen flying very high, so they're very likely to spot you and dive on you. But you have a higher speed and a slightly better climb rate, so when you see a Harrier, make sure you're the farthest away from him and try to keep that distance. But if it fires a missile less than 3 km away from you and you don't happen to have countermeasures, you're very likely to lose your aircraft.

* [[Lightning F.6]] / : another common enemy packed with some dangerous armement ([[Red Top]] missiles) and high performance that can easily sneak behind you. But you have an ace up your sleeve: Vertical manoeuvres. Since the Lightning has a high angle of attack, it will bleed a lot of speed when turning, and even more when manoeuvring vertically. So to avoid it, start a vertical manoeuvre and once the Lightning bled enough speed, dive back, and you'll easily leave him behind. Do remember however that having flares is recommended when attempting this kind of manoeuvre.

* [[F8U-2]] / [[T-2]]: The same applies to the F8U-2 and the T-2, except the T-2 has less dangerous missiles and slightly more speed.

* [[F-4C Phantom II|F-4C]]: Possibly your worst enemy. Although quite rare, this plane has access to the [[AIM-7D Sparrow]]. You can fool these with Chaff, but you don't have RWR so you can't know when the F-4C has you locked and when the Sparrow is coming. This plane also can outperform you in every possible way so if a F-4C is eager to chase you, get rid of it as fast as possible by requesting support from your team.

* [[MiG-21 SPS-K (Germany)|MiG-21 SPS-K]]: Unlike other MiG-21s, there is a decent chance that the premium SPS-K model will be on the enemy team. The MiG-21 is a powerful interceptor, and can easily climb to altitudes that the Yak-28B might otherwise feel safe at. Armed with R-60 missiles and able to sneak up from behind, this MiG-21 poses a significant threat. Matches can and will end abruptly if an enemy SPS-K player spots you and is able to fire off a missile even up to 3 km behind you.

* [[F-104A]] / [[F-104C]] / [[F-104A (China)|Chinese F-104A]]: The early F-104 series of jets are 1 of the only jets capable of keeping up with you no matter how high or fast you're going, they come packed with [[AIM-9B Sidewinder|AIM-9B]]'s and a fast firing [[M61A1 (20 mm)|20mm gatling gun]]. It's best to remain away from them as much as possible, as once they are chasing you there is a high chance they will catch up with you and eliminate you. Only way to truly run away from it is to either have your teammates engage it or fly back to base where the base SPAA will protect you.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Immense acceleration and good climb rate
* High top speed and energy retention
* Has access to flares and chaff for self-defense against missiles (64 units in total)
* Above 1,000 km/h, your plane compresses very slightly. This allows you to pull hard in a turn without any significant overload
* Very resistant flaps and gear that acts like an airbrake
* The 3,000 kg bomb is very useful for bombing runs in ground RB (in air RB too, as it can destroy every kind of land targets)
* Can outrun most early air-to-air Missiles at high altitude
* Very strong parachute that can quickly help you come to a full stop when landing

'''Cons:'''

* At the deck, this plane can redline and snap its wings even with no WEP (70% thrust allows you to stay outside the redline speed)
* No airbrakes
* Below 1,000 km/h, your plane will start to experience extreme overloads that can easily snap your wings within 4 seconds if you pull too hard
* Fuel starvation happens in negative-G manoeuvres
* Horrible turn rate that makes you vulnerable to even AIM-9Bs if you do not have countermeasures
* Low roll rate
* Absolutely pitiful ammo capacity for NR-23 cannon renders it useless for nearly everything

== History ==

The Yak-28 "Brewer" is a swept-wing turbojet bomber used by the Soviet Air Force in the 1960s. In the late 1950s, the Yakovlev design bureau began work on an improved version of the Yak-26, which underperformed and failed to enter production. The new aircraft was powered by two Tumansky R-11 afterburning turbojet engines producing 57 kn of thrust each, slung in underwing nacelles. Otherwise, the aircraft featured a conventional configuration, with a 45-degree swept wing and a mid-tail-mounted horizontal stabilizer. The aircraft was primarily subsonic at low altitude but capable of 1840 km/h at higher altitude.

The first flight of the new aircraft occurred in March of 1958, and the western world first saw the aircraft at the Tushino Airshow in 1961. Initially, western analysts believed it to be a continuation of the Yak-25 fighter series, and was given the reporting name "Flashlight", but once its actual role was realized, it was redesignated "Brewer". The Yak-28 aircraft was ultimately quite successful in its role and several variants were created, including the Yak-28B tactical bomber, Yak-28P interceptor (armed with air-to-air missiles), the Yak-28R reconnaissance aircraft and the Yak-28U trainer. A total of 1180 Yak-28s of all variants were produced.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to 12.0 BR as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to a new missiles called the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the {{Annotation|R-73|The R-73 is a close-mid range missile coming in a all-aspect IR tracking. It has a operational range of 30 km and a speed of 2.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 105 kg and has a warhead of 7.4 kg, using a direct hit to detonate itself on the target. Also known as the successor to the R-60M}}. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting in in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

==== ZSU-23-4M4 ====
<s>No Image Found yet due to Copyright issues</s>

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

Author of image: Gilli815

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My loadout i use for ground battles, the jet makes use of a Laser Projector. This will basically only allow you to aim at targets using your whole jets body. I suggest firing the Kh-29L first in a high dive, this will make you lighter and allow you to turn better after your first strafe. After that i like using the Kh-25 in a side dive (it turns/pulls more than the Kh-29L). If there are any SPAA's make use of your S-24B: even if it was to miss the target, it can overpressure it easily nevertheless. And for other air targets such as helicopters and jets. make use of the R-60 to easily take care of them

# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

'''Notes:'''

* 6 mm side skirts added with BMP-2D
* 6 mm armour layer added to the turret side
* 6 mm armour added to hull top sides
* The amphibious ability is lost after the armour modifications are installed
* Tracks and wheels are 10 mm thick

'''BMP-2:'''

The BMP-2 armour layout consists of mostly High Hardness Rolled Armour. The front plate and turret armour is sufficient to stop anything short of a small auto cannon. The sides are generally resistant to machine gun fire, although larger calibre rounds such as those fired from the 12.7 mm .50 calibre machine guns on many American tanks can penetrate the side and rear of the BMP-2. Depending on where it is hit, the BMP-2 is generally not very survivable due to the low crew count. Having only 3 crew means that if any penetrating round kills 2 of them, you are dead. Some shots might hit empty space, but you should not rely on it. Generally it is best practice to be very careful when driving the BMP-2. Even if you have disabled the enemy vehicle's main cannon, they may still be able to damage you with their heavy machine gun. The BMP-2 is also vulnerable to overpressure, it will be destroyed by large-calibre HE shells and by ATGMs.

'''BMP-2D:'''

The BMP-2 has optional add-on armour which improves its resistance to heavy machine gun and some light cannon fire from the sides and rear of the turret, at the cost of losing its amphibious ability. This armour means that you are safe from enemy tanks once you have disabled their main gun. This modification has little effect on the overpressure vulnerability mechanics of the BMP-2.

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Tank-Mobility}}


{{tankMobility|abMinHp=465|rbMinHp=265|AoAweight=0.8|weight=14|rbReverseSpeed=10.5}}

The {{PAGENAME}}'s mobility is reasonable, albeit not excellent, at a maximum of 72/65 km/h (AB\RB) on-road, however, the vehicle's acceleration and off-road performance leave something to be desired.

The {{PAGENAME}} can swim at 7 km/h.

=== Modifications and economy ===
{{Specs-Economy}}

== Armaments ==
{{Specs-Tank-Armaments}}
=== Main armament ===
{{Specs-Tank-Weapon|2}}

{{main|2A42 (30 mm)}}

The Shipunov 2A42 30 mm autocannon is a very versatile weapon - it is possible to change its fire rate based on the situation and it has vertical guidance of +74 degrees, which makes it effective not only against tanks but for planes and helicopters as well.

The main concern with this powerful main weapon is the ammo capacity. The gun has two firing modes - relatively slow (~200/minute) and extremely fast (~550/minute), while your ammo capacity is 500. To not run out of ammo during the battle, one should use full auto mode only when facing certain doom, or when sitting in an ambush position against an unknown enemy.

Its reload rate for the belts is quite fast at 1 second and it gets a choice of HEF-T, AP-T, and HVAP in belts. Every belt is universal and has at least 1 AP and 1 HE in them, HE belt carrying 2 of HEF-T for 1 AP-T per cycle.

The HVAP belts have enough penetration to obliterate lighter tanks such as [[Leopard A1A1|Leopard A1A1s]], [[AMX-30B2 BRENUS]] and [[Warrior]] frontally, however, when engaging other larger targets it's only possible to completely defeat them from the side, though you can still cripple enemy tanks frontally by shooting cannon barrels and tracks.

The main difference of the HVAP compared to the APDS of other autocannon-equipped vehicles is that it is '''very''' bad against angled tanks and when attacking tanks on high ground (Refer to the table, to see how bad it can get). Because of that, targets usually easily dealt with such as the [[Striker]] may deflect fire from your main gun when heavily angled. When facing something the main gun cannot deal with, you'll need to use the secondary weapon:

{{Specs-Tank-Weapon|1}}

{{main|9M113 Konkurs}}

BMP-2 also has an ATGM launcher. Its guidance system is semi-automatic, so it's easier to use in RB. It is a default modification on the vehicle, unlike the BMP-1, so doesn't need to be researched.

The ATGM is able to penetrate most tanks BMP-2 will face at its BR and often above when aimed well. The 9M113 is also fairly useable at range, although it generally won't reach sniping helicopters. The BMP only has 4 ATGMs, so it's a good idea to be stringent with them.

=== Machine guns ===
{{Specs-Tank-Weapon|3}}

{{main|PKT (7.62 mm)}}

7.62 mm PKT is only useful for destroying light obstacles to avoid losing momentum. Alternatively, it can be used to mark the enemy in Realistic battle. Using it for anything else is pointless, as your 30mm is far more effective otherwise, and the 7.62mm won't cause damage to anything but early aircraft or open-top vehicles with exposed crew.

== Usage in battles ==

'''The BMP-2 is best played as a light support vehicle''', avoiding being a primary target in the front of the battle.

Where possible, scout opposing vehicles for teammates while staying near heavier friendly vehicles, helping repair and support them as necessary. By staying mostly in cover and near more threatening targets, you'll avoid being a target yourself. The BMP isn't particularly fast for a light tank, but if you can move into a position that enemy tanks will be passing, you'll be able to make quick work of them with the 30 mm gun.

Before the armour modification has been researched, the players can take advantage of the amphibious capacities of the BMP-2 to either infiltrate in the enemy territory to scout or to flank that enemy access and retain the enemy advance; at least for a short time.

As an advance from the BMP-1, the BMP-2 offers a great improvement in combat usage, as there's no need to research the better ATGM armament. Another upgrade in the playstyle is the possibility of close range anti-air duties thanks to the 30 mm Shipunov cannon, particularly to the omnipresent helicopters at this rank, such as the American [[AH-1G]]. The cannon is also useful for light and medium ground targets with slightly sloped armour, however, the stock HE performance against armour is poor and the need for the APDS belt will be evident. Therefore the anti-air duties are an essential part of the early playstyle and module research.

'''ATGM guide'''

with the introduction of the "[[Update "La Royale"|La Royale]]" Update, the physics of ATGM's have been updated to a more realistic engine. Therefore the 9M113 Konkurs ATGM steers more uncontrollably now. When fired, the 9M113 drops below your aim reticle in the first 15 meters (due to being at at low speed right after launch). After surpassing 15 meters the ATGM will have accelerated enough to fly up and stabilize itself with your aim reticle. Due to this launch drop, its suggested to aim slightly up when firing the ATGM: this will avoid having your ATGM hit the ground or any fences as sometimes that tends to happen. When the ATGM is flying, steer it gently and carefully. Instantly snapping to another target can cause it to uncontrollanbly fly from right to left (or other way around) and hit something on the way or not hit the target at all. It should also be noted that the further the ATGM goes the less controllable it becomes, causing it to go slightly off course off your aim reticle. To counteract this: aim in the opposite direction of where the ATGM is going off course to. If for example its going right up, aim slightly in the left down direction. By doing this your ATGM will align it self again to the point you wish for it to hit.

'''Anti-air role'''

The BMP is somewhat vulnerable to aircraft fire, particularly larger cannons will make quick work of the vehicle through its near non-existent top armour. Where possible, find positions with a good overhead cover or minimal visibility for overhead aircraft (beneath over-arching rocks, near or in buildings, under dense tree cover). If for any reason you do become the target of a strafing run, don't be afraid to fire back - the 30 mm will make quick work of most aircraft, and in head-on engagements is particularly easy to get on target.

It is recommended to improve the turret targeting speed with the modifications, as this provides faster target acquisition. The ATGM can also be put in use against any helicopter hovering close to the battlefield, remember the 3 km range when engaging them.

{{Notice|Tip: The BMP-2 offers the ability to switch the cannon firing rate, useful for saving ammunition or quickly dispatching air targets!}}

'''Close support'''

The BMP-2 is a light combat vehicle with good offensive power, as such, a recommended combat tactic is to remain near the tougher tank comrades assaulting and capturing points in the core of the action. Not only because of the proficient anti-air capabilities of the BMP-2 or the mighty Konkurs' ability to deal with any heavily armoured targets like the [[Maus]]. But also because '''the BMP-2 can act as a field mechanic''' for allied tanks along the frontline.

Acting as a team-player also entails using every mean of protection to ensure the teammates' safety, this will be usually achievable thanks to the various smoke discharges available.

'''Scouting'''

The BMP-2 is not only capable of fiercely defending itself but is also '''capable of providing scouted targets for the whole allied team'''. Becoming the force of change in any assault or defence and a decisive piece in the road for victory.

A single BMP-2 can find a suitable covered position on a hill or a ditch deep enough (like on the [[Kursk (Ground Forces)|Kursk]] map) and proceed to scout any enemy in the binoculars sight. It doesn't matter if the BMP does not have a gun solution, the purpose is to relay the enemy's position to the team while remaining in secret. This not only helps the teammates on anticipating any threats, but once the airstrike modification has been researched, it also enables the player to jump into any suited aircraft and continue supporting the team.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Can easily destroy other light vehicles with both its main gun and its ATGM launcher
* At times is surprisingly survivable, the vehicle's internals are largely non-critical components
* Can ford rivers/canals to get to locations that are normally difficult or sometimes impossible to reach
* Somewhat effective as an AA with fast-firing 30 mm
* ATGMs will comfortably destroy almost any vehicle with a well placed missile
* 30 mm HVAP can quickly disable tracks/gun barrel on any target

'''Cons:'''

* The 30 mm HVAP is not as powerful as APDS on other AFVs and has extremely bad angled performance
* Small maximum ammo load, can only take a single APDS belt, exactly 160 shells (Changing to low rate of fire is recommended)
* Vulnerable to HMGs and light cannons at close ranges, particularly without add-on armour
* Vulnerable to overpressure (HE shells, bombs, rockets, ATGMs and artillery strikes).
* Konkurs ATGM is highly ineffective against vehicles with ERA like the [[Sho't Kal Dalet (Great Britain)]] or the [[M60A1 RISE (P)]]

== History ==

'''Development'''

After the Yom Kippur War, it became clear that the armament of the BMP-1 was proven to be insufficient, as well as the protection. Egyptian and Syrian BMP-1's had been knocked out by 12.7 mm (.50 in) machine gun fire through the sides and rear. The BMP-1P was developed in order solve some of the problems with the BMP-1, but a new model was needed. Work began on creating an improved version of the BMP-1, called the BMP-2.

'''Design'''

The hull of the BMP-2 was nearly identical to the hull of the BMP-1. The armour was unchanged - other than the side armour which could now withstand 12.7 mm machine guns - as was the shape of the hull itself. The turret, on the other hand, was of a new design. It was the same general shape as the turret of the BMP-1, but it was much larger. The commander sat to the right of the gun breech and the gunner sat to the left of the gun breech. The main armament consisted of a 2A24 30 mm autocannon, with a secondary armament of a co-axial 7.62 mm machine gun, with some models receiving a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher. There is also a 9M111 and 9M113 anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) launcher on the roof of the turret. There were some other differences as well. The infantry hatches on the roof of the troop compartment was reduced to 2 from 4. In addition, only 7 infantry soldiers could be carried, instead of the 8 that could be carried by the BMP-1. The BMP-2 was also heavier than the BMP-1, but received a more powerful engine, and as such had similar mobility to the BMP-1.

'''Production and Service'''

The BMP-2 entered service in 1980, and it is unknown how many have been produced. It is thought that at least 20,000 BMP-2 have been produced so far, but some estimates have the total production at up to 35,000. These numbers are for the Soviet/Russian military alone, not including license built copies or export models. BMP-2's have seen combat in a number of conflicts, although not so much as the BMP-1 as it entered service later.

'''BMP-2D'''

The BMP-2D was an upgrade package that could be installed on a regular BMP-2. It consisted of applique armour on the sides of the vehicle and under the driver and commander positions, and 6 mm of applique armour on the turret. It also added the ability to attach a mine clearing device on the front of the vehicle. Because of the added weight of the upgrade package, the BMP-2D was not amphibiously capable.

=== [[wt:en/news/5750-development-bmp-2-experienced-support-en|Devblog]] ===

The arrival of the BMP-1 infantry combat vehicle in the Soviet Army greatly increased the firepower and mobility of infantry formations on the battlefield. However, there were also significant shortcomings, mainly in the armament department. The 73 mm Grom gun, which was installed on the BMP-1 wasn't particularly efficient against infantry units, tanks and low flying air targets. In addition to this, the flight of the trajectory became impossible to predict if even a small crosswind was present. To account for these issues, a decision was made to create a new vehicle based on the BMP-1 with the automatic rifled gun. Among the several projects carried out, the vehicle designed by Kurganmashzavod engineers was acknowledged to be superior to the rest. The BMP-2, which was put into service in 1977, had a similar design to the BMP-1 in terms of the layout and general configuration. However, the turret underwent significant changes. It now had space for two crew members – the gunner and the commander, and the automatic 30 mm 2A42 gun became its primary armament. Just like its predecessor, the BMP-2 was fitted with a launcher capable of firing either the Konkurs or Fagot anti-tank guided missiles, which the vehicle could deploy when engaging tank units. The vehicle was regarded as fairly successful, and over the years of its service, the BMP-2 underwent a series of modernizations and modifications directed at improving the vehicle's defences and increasing its destructive capability. The BMP-2 remains in service till now and is in great demand abroad.

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to 12.0 BR as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to a new missiles called the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the {{Annotation|R-73|The R-73 is a close-mid range missile coming in a all-aspect IR tracking. It has a operational range of 30 km and a speed of 2.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 105 kg and has a warhead of 7.4 kg, using a direct hit to detonate itself on the target. Also known as the successor to the R-60M}}. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting in in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

== War Thunder Wiki work ==

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to 12.0 BR as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to a new missiles called the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the {{Annotation|R-73|The R-73 is a close-mid range missile coming in a all-aspect IR tracking. It has a operational range of 30 km and a speed of 2.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 105 kg and has a warhead of 7.4 kg, using a direct hit to detonate itself on the target. Also known as the successor to the R-60M}}. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting in in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

== War Thunder Wiki work ==

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to 12.0 BR as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to a new missiles called the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the {{Annotation|R-73|The R-73 is a close-mid range missile coming in a all-aspect IR tracking. It has a operational range of 30 km and a speed of 2.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 105 kg and has a warhead of 7.4 kg, using a direct hit to detonate itself on the target. Also known as the successor to the R-60M}}. That are both superior any current existing long and medium range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i with others opinions have thought to put it with the MiG-23MLD as a folder vehicle. Putting in in front or behind the MiG-29 would hinder the grind and make it longer, and by putting it in as a folder would allow a optional grind for this interceptor.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Bomb Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the bombers point and avoid the [[H.C Mk.I (12,000 lb)]], [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] and any other big bombs that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the bombers in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* any Bomber with 1 large bomb
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle (not necessary)
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings and hide locations (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to 12.0 BR as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to a new missiles called the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the {{Annotation|R-73|The R-73 is a close-mid range missile coming in a all-aspect IR tracking. It has a operational range of 30 km and a speed of 2.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 105 kg and has a warhead of 7.4 kg, using a direct hit to detonate itself on the target. Also known as the successor to the R-60M}}. That are both superior any current existing long and short range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i personally thought after the MiG-27 family would be a good spot as those jets we're used like interceptors in air battles in WT. As i think after the [[MiG-23MLD]] isn't a good spot cause the MiG-23MLD is more of a dog fighter than a interceptor, and both jets have a complete separate play styles and characteristics.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Pe-8 Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the Pe-8's point and avoid the [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the Pe-8 in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* [[Pe-8]] or any other Bomber with similar characteristics (carries 1 large bomb)
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet jet bomber {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Red Skies"]].

== General info ==
=== Flight performance ===
{{Specs-Avia-Flight}}

This bomber is relatively fast, it can break the sound barrier above 4,000 metres. It also has a very high acceleration, high energy retention and a very good climb rate. However, it has a very poor turn rate and experiences moderate compression above 1,000 km/h.

* 1 x 3,000 kg FAB-3000M-46 bomb (3,000 kg total)

== Usage in battles ==


The Yak-28B has 2 very powerful engines that give it a immense acceleration. Even at extreme high altitudes the jet bomber is capable of retaining a very high speed above Mach 1, where others will start to lose speed. It has a poor turn rate, but it is paired with a high thrust ratio: allowing you to retain your speed when turning. Your best chances at surviving is to stay high at all times and keep going above Mach 1 (your bombs still drop beyond Mach 1). You are untouchable when going high altitude paired with sound breaking speed, even able to out fly some early air-to-air missiles. Your only weakness being when landing and taking off, being able to get intercepted by enemy jets. It comes with CCIP that gives you the gimmick to allow to bomb from third perspective accurately. Lastly it also has countermeasures that can help you to defend yourself from missiles if they were to get too close to you.

'''Air battles'''

At the start of a match, take 20 minutes of fuel, equip Air targets belt and get yourself 6 x 250 kg bombs. Start ascending on a 30-45° angle to an altitude of 6-12 km to any of the bomb targets (best to go for the furthest one as many bombers and strike aircraft will go for the first one). Once on a high altitude make sure you are certain that your bomb target will not get bombed by any teammates, if they all get bombed: simply remain high altitude on 100% thrust (not WEP) and wait for additional bomb targets to spawn. Once you have released your bombs start heading back to base, when coming close to base fully turn off your engine to bleed speed the most and land and repeat. If you are among the last players left of your team, take max fuel and ascend to the max altitude and remain there on 100% thrust, if someone starts coming close start the afterburners and fly away from the enemy. Tho this tactic is seen as a annoying and unfair, also known as "space climbing".

'''CAS'''

Equip your Yak-28B with the FAB-3000M-46 and take the minimal fuel. When spawned in start ascending to 3-4 km where your jet won't break due to going too fast, Try to spot a enemy target or receive information from your teammates on where there are targets. Once you have decided and dropped your bomb, return back to base and repeat.

'''Enemies worth noting:'''

* [[Harrier (Family)]]: Harriers are very common and can pose you a significant threat, especially the ones that are loaded with the AIM-9G (AV-8A, AV-8C, Harrier GR.3) that has a very long range and a good 18 G overload. Harriers can also very commonly be seen flying very high, so they're very likely to spot you and dive on you. But you have a higher speed and a slightly better climb rate, so when you see a Harrier, make sure you're the farthest away from him and try to keep that distance. But if it fires a missile less than 3 km away from you and you don't happen to have countermeasures, you're very likely to lose your aircraft.

* [[Lightning F.6]] / : another common enemy packed with some dangerous armement ([[Red Top]] missiles) and high performance that can easily sneak behind you. But you have an ace up your sleeve: Vertical manoeuvres. Since the Lightning has a high angle of attack, it will bleed a lot of speed when turning, and even more when manoeuvring vertically. So to avoid it, start a vertical manoeuvre and once the Lightning bled enough speed, dive back, and you'll easily leave him behind. Do remember however that having flares is recommended when attempting this kind of manoeuvre.

* [[F8U-2]] / [[T-2]]: The same applies to the F8U-2 and the T-2, except the T-2 has less dangerous missiles and slightly more speed.

* [[F-4C Phantom II|F-4C]]: Possibly your worst enemy. Although quite rare, this plane has access to the [[AIM-7D Sparrow]]. You can fool these with Chaff, but you don't have RWR so you can't know when the F-4C has you locked and when the Sparrow is coming. This plane also can outperform you in every possible way so if a F-4C is eager to chase you, get rid of it as fast as possible by requesting support from your team.

* [[MiG-21 SPS-K (Germany)|MiG-21 SPS-K]]: Unlike other MiG-21s, there is a decent chance that the premium SPS-K model will be on the enemy team. The MiG-21 is a powerful interceptor, and can easily climb to altitudes that the Yak-28B might otherwise feel safe at. Armed with R-60 missiles and able to sneak up from behind, this MiG-21 poses a significant threat. Matches can and will end abruptly if an enemy SPS-K player spots you and is able to fire off a missile even up to 3 km behind you.

* [[F-104A]] / [[F-104C]] / [[F-104A (China)|Chinese F-104A]]: The early F-104 series of jets are 1 of the only jets capable of keeping up with you no matter how high or fast you're going, they come packed with [[AIM-9B Sidewinder|AIM-9B]]'s and a fast firing [[M61A1 (20 mm)|20mm gatling gun]]. It's best to remain away from them as much as possible, as once they are chasing you there is a high chance they will catch up with you and eliminate you. Only way to truly run away from it is to either have your teammates engage it or fly back to base where the base SPAA will protect you.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Immense acceleration
* High top speed
* Very good climb rate
* Has access to flares and chaff for self-defense against missiles (64 units in total)
* High energy retention
* Above 1,000 km/h, your plane compresses very slightly. This allows you to pull hard in a turn without any significant overload
* Very resistant flaps and gear that acts like an airbrake
* Very easy stock grind (if you do not count the amount of RP needed)
* The 3,000 kg bomb is very useful for bombing runs in ground RB (in air RB too, as it can destroy every kind of land targets)
* Has a primary weapon that can help you destroy some light ground targets at the end of the match
* Can out fly most early Air to Air Missiles at high altitude
* Very strong parachute that can quickly help you come to a full stop when landing

'''Cons:'''

* At the deck, this plane can redline and snap its wings even with no WEP (70% thrust allows you to stay outside the redline speed)
* No airbrakes
* Below 1,000 km/h, your plane will start to experience extreme overloads that can easily snap your wings within 4 seconds if you pull too hard
* Fuel starvation happens in negative-G manoeuvres
* Horrible turn rate that makes you vulnerable to even AIM-9Bs if you do not have countermeasures
* Low roll rate
* Absolutely pitiful ammo capacity for NR-23 cannon renders it useless for nearly everything

== History ==

The Yak-28 "Brewer" is a swept-wing turbojet bomber used by the Soviet Air Force in the 1960s. In the late 1950s, the Yakovlev design bureau began work on an improved version of the Yak-26, which underperformed and failed to enter production. The new aircraft was powered by two Tumansky R-11 afterburning turbojet engines producing 57 kn of thrust each, slung in underwing nacelles. Otherwise, the aircraft featured a conventional configuration, with a 45-degree swept wing and a mid-tail-mounted horizontal stabilizer. The aircraft was primarily subsonic at low altitude but capable of 1840 km/h at higher altitude.

The first flight of the new aircraft occurred in March of 1958, and the western world first saw the aircraft at the Tushino Airshow in 1961. Initially, western analysts believed it to be a continuation of the Yak-25 fighter series, and was given the reporting name "Flashlight", but once its actual role was realized, it was redesignated "Brewer". The Yak-28 aircraft was ultimately quite successful in its role and several variants were created, including the Yak-28B tactical bomber, Yak-28P interceptor (armed with air-to-air missiles), the Yak-28R reconnaissance aircraft and the Yak-28U trainer. A total of 1180 Yak-28s of all variants were produced.

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to 12.0 BR as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to a new missiles called the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the {{Annotation|R-73|The R-73 is a close-mid range missile coming in a all-aspect IR tracking. It has a operational range of 30 km and a speed of 2.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 105 kg and has a warhead of 7.4 kg, using a direct hit to detonate itself on the target. Also known as the successor to the R-60M}}. That are both superior any current existing long and short range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i personally thought after the MiG-27 family would be a good spot as those jets we're used like interceptors in air battles in WT. As i think after the [[MiG-23MLD]] isn't a good spot cause the MiG-23MLD is more of a dog fighter than a interceptor, and both jets have a complete separate play styles and characteristics.

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

==== ZSU-23-4M4 ====
<s>No Image Found yet</s>

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Pe-8 Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the Pe-8's point and avoid the [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the Pe-8 in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* [[Pe-8]] or any other Bomber with similar characteristics (carries 1 large bomb)
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== Usage in battles ==
The MiG-29 has a unique flight character, its engines consume a lot of fuel thus the external fuel tank, getting rid of the external fuel tank will reduce drag and improve the performance of the aircraft, this is mostly done before engaging a target. But the engines also provide excellent thrust at a very wide range of speeds giving you enough power to engage in long-lasting dogfights. The aircraft is not equipped with variable wing sweep, which is not very noticeable. Only when flying at high speeds at lower altitudes will you begin to notice that the wings produce much lift. The MiG-29 has decent manoeuvrability at high and low speeds, the energy retention is not something to complain about either. The 30 mm guns have a high velocity, making it easy to aim at targets, and are much better than earlier Soviet aircraft. The missiles which are the most effective are the R-60MK and R-27ER1. The R-60MK are very easy to flare off, and at its BR many people will dodge these missiles in a head-on fairly easily. But the R-27ER1 has some very effective performance, with an improved radar system this missile will rock the battlefield.

'''Air combat'''

At the start of a match, take all the fuel you can and make sure your custom loadout has drop tank equipped in it. Equip air target belts, 4 R-60MK's and 2 R-27ER1/R1 or 2 R-27T1 (depending on what you prefer). Take off and start going into a flank position, your goal here is to pick off alone flying jets. The MiG-29 excels at solo fighting and performs the best when engaging single targets. Make sure to stick near the ground until you have found yourself a target. Once you got yourself a target, start engaging it and keep your speed up. If the target is high altitude or long distance, make use of your R-27 missiles to take care of it from a distance. But when players decided to hunt down enemy jets with SARH missiles, the enemies will do the same and here comes a flaw to the electronics of the jet: the SPO-15 RWR; although claimed to be all-aspect, the system is in fact divided into 8 smaller sectors at the front-aspect while having only 2 sectors at the rear-aspect, this can be a major problem when multiple targets have a lock on MiG-29 - the pilots have to make a guess on where exactly the source comes from, especially when enemy jets is chasing MiG-29. This can be a major problem in SB battles with only cockpit view. When in close range make use of your R-60MK, but beware of enemy targets that might join the fight. It should be noted to stay away from flock of enemies, the MiG-29 performs poor when under pressure from multiple targets and will become a easy elimination to the enemy. The suggested radar modes for basic users to use are: SRC PD and HMD PD (for close range). During close range dog fighting the MiG-29 can make use of both the radar and IRST to get a lead indicator when locked on target, which is extremely useful and makes eliminating by gun easier. Lastly: keep a eye on your fuel, because this Jet consumes it so fast that in important dog fights you might run out of fuel mid-battle.

'''Guide on R-27R1/ER1'''

To use the radar variants of the R-27 to the fullest make sure to firstly enable "Use rectangular radar indicator", disable "Target cycles switching of aircraft radar" in the settings and set up keybinds for "Horizontal Radar/IRST target cue control axis" and "Vertical Radar/IRST target cue control axis". By doing all of this you have now full control over your radar which will allow you to maximize your potential. Once taken off, make sure to either have TWS or TWS HDN as selected radar mode, this will allow you to see in third person where the selected (not radar locked) target is and where it is heading. Change the scope scale to 100 km to be able to see where the flock of enemies is going, and with that information adjust your trajectory into a flank. Your goal here is to pick off individual high-flying targets, so with use of your horizontal and vertical cue control go over incoming radar pings and sort out which target is most likely to remain at high altitude. Start flanking the target and getting closer to it. When at a range of 15-20 km, lock on to the target and fire away your radar-guided missile. The enemy will not have enough time to break the radar lock and will get destroyed by the fast incoming R-27R1/ER1. If the targets are getting below 10 km range, prepare yourself to swap into HMD PD (within visual range combat radar mode). This will allow you to make use of the helmet-mounted display to lock on to any target you look at. This will allow you to lock on to jets who are not near the ground, and once the missile is fired away the target will have little chance evading it. When fired below 3 km, the enemies might be able to evade/dodge the missile due to the sheer launch speed it has.

'''CAS'''

The MiG-29 can be used as a fast interceptor of enemy targets in Ground Realistic. Equip your MiG-29 with 6 x FAB-500SH, add 2 R-60MKs optionally. Start heading to the battle area and go for a behind approach of the enemy spawn, this will allow you to take care of SPAAs or any other targets with a surprise. Once you found yourself a target, prepare to slow down to near Mach 1 and align your CCIP with the target, drop all or half of all the retarded bombs with a 0 second fuse (the bombs slowly fall on the target, allowing you to escape the blast while also instantly eliminating the target). Once the bombs have been dropped, either start speeding off back to the airfield for more bombs, or make use of your R-60MKs to take care of any enemy air targets. Furthermore, make sure to swap your radar into IRST mode, as you do not carry any radar missiles and it will make you more stealthy to face off enemy jets. It is suggested to also take a mixed countermeasures loadout, it can help you dodge surface-to-air missiles and break their lock on.

'''Enemies worth noting'''

[[F-16 (Family)|F-16 series]] : The F-16's are considered the top opponent against the MiG-29, having a equal amount of power and ability to combat you. Singularly you might have a upper hand in skill and abilities thanks to the R-27 and R-60 missiles, but beware. The moment a F-16 teams up with one another, they become a formidable and dangerous group. The more F-16's are flying as a flock the more dangerous they become. In comparison with the MiG-29: the F-16 performs better in groups, and it is that what you have to look out for. It's best to avoid engaging into a flock of F-16's, but to rather engage it from a distance (with use of R-27 missiles) or wait for the flock to fall apart. This will give you again a upper hand over the F-16 and give you the ability to combat it 1 on 1. Further than that make sure to keep a eye out for their missiles, they have a excellent medium range and can retain a IR lock very well.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Great top speed at all altitudes; with a wing rip speed of Mach 1.3 at sea level
* High turning performance and agility, especially at low to medium speed
* The GSh-30-1 cannon is well suited for air combat, possessing effective damage and ballistics
* Highly effective radar system, has TWS along with PD and Head-Down modes
* Possesses the R-27ER1 SARH missile, with strong speed, acceleration, and tracking
* Has a potent IRST for slaving IR missiles
* Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) allows for fine pointing of Radar and IRST

'''Cons:'''

* High fuel consumption on afterburner; as little as 4 minutes without a drop tank
* The twin engines burn hot, producing a large signature for enemy IR missiles
* R-60MK IR missiles have a rather short range
* Can easily G-LOC due to high manoeuvrability
* Relatively narrow radar search width of 30°, inferior to the 120°+ found on F-14s and F-16s
* The SPO-15 RWR is pseudo-all-aspect where the detections are divided into different sectors instead of showing the exact direction

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to 12.0 BR as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to a new missiles called the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the {{Annotation|R-73|The R-73 is a close-mid range missile coming in a all-aspect IR tracking. It has a operational range of 30 km and a speed of 2.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 105 kg and has a warhead of 7.4 kg, using a direct hit to detonate itself on the target. Also known as the successor to the R-60M}}. That are both superior any current existing long and short range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i personally thought after the MiG-27 family would be a good spot as those jets we're used like interceptors in air battles in WT. As i think after the [[MiG-23MLD]] isn't a good spot cause the MiG-23MLD is more of a dog fighter than a interceptor, and both jets have a complete separate play styles and characteristics.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Pe-8 Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the Pe-8's point and avoid the [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the Pe-8 in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* [[Pe-8]] or any other Bomber with similar characteristics (carries 1 large bomb)
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet jet bomber {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Red Skies"]].

== General info ==
=== Flight performance ===
{{Specs-Avia-Flight}}

This bomber is relatively fast, it can break the sound barrier above 4,000 metres. It also has a very high acceleration, high energy retention and a very good climb rate. However, it has a very poor turn rate and experiences moderate compression above 1,000 km/h.

== Usage in battles ==


The Yak-28B has 2 very powerful engines that give it a immense acceleration. Even at extreme high altitudes the jet bomber is capable of retaining a very high speed above Mach 1, where others will start to lose speed. It has a poor turn rate, but it is paired with a high thrust ratio: allowing you to retain your speed when turning. Your best chances at surviving is to stay high at all times and keep going above Mach 1 (your bombs still drop beyond Mach 1). You are untouchable when going high altitude paired with sound breaking speed, even able to out fly some early Air to Air missiles. Your only weakness being when landing and taking off, being able to get intercepted by enemy jets. It comes with CCIP that gives you the gimmick to allow to bomb from third perspective accurately. Lastly it also has countermeasures that can help you to defend yourself from missiles if they we’re to get too close to you.

'''Air battles'''

At the start of a match, take 20 minutes of fuel, equip Air targets belt and get yourself 6 x 250 Kg bombs. Start ascending on a 30-45° angle to an altitude of 6-12 km to any of the bomb targets (best to go for the furthest one as many bombers and strike aircraft will go for the first one). Once on a high altitude make sure you are certain that your bomb target will not get bombed by any teammates, if they all get bombed: simply remain high altitude on 100% thrust (not WEP) and wait for additional bomb targets to spawn. Once you have released your bombs start heading back to base, when coming close to base fully turn off your engine to bleed speed the most and land and repeat. If you are 1 of the last players left of your team. Take max fuel and ascend to the max altitude and remain there on 100% thrust, if someone starts coming close start the afterburners and fly away from the enemy. Tho this tactic is seen as a annoying and unfair, also known as “space climbing”.

'''CAS'''

Equip your Yak-28B with the FAB-3000M-46 and take the minimal fuel. When spawned in start ascending to 3-4 km where your jet won’t break due to going too fast, Try to spot a enemy target or receive information from your teammates on where there are targets. Once you have decided and dropped your bomb, return back to base and repeat.

'''Enemies worth noting:'''

* [[Harrier (Family)]]: Harriers are very common and can pose you a significant threat, especially the ones that are loaded with the AIM-9G (AV-8A, AV-8C, Harrier GR.3) that has a very long range and a good 18 G overload. Harriers can also very commonly be seen flying very high, so they're very likely to spot you and dive on you. But you have a higher speed and a slightly better climb rate, so when you see a Harrier, make sure you're the farthest away from him and try to keep that distance. But if it fires a missile less than 3 km away from you and you don't happen to have countermeasures, you're very likely to lose your aircraft.

* [[Lightning F.6]] / : another common enemy packed with some dangerous armement ([[Red Top]] missiles) and high performance that can easily sneak behind you. But you have an ace up your sleeve: Vertical manoeuvres. Since the Lightning has a high angle of attack, it will bleed a lot of speed when turning, and even more when manoeuvring vertically. So to avoid it, start a vertical manoeuvre and once the Lightning bled enough speed, dive back, and you'll easily leave him behind. Do remember however that having flares is recommended when attempting this kind of manoeuvre.

* [[F8U-2]] / [[T-2]]: The same applies to the F8U-2 and the T-2, except the T-2 has less dangerous missiles and slightly more speed.

* [[F-4C Phantom II|F-4C]]: Possibly your worst enemy. Although quite rare, this plane has access to the [[AIM-7D Sparrow]]. You can fool these with Chaff, but you don't have RWR so you can't know when the F-4C has you locked and when the Sparrow is coming. This plane also can outperform you in every possible way so if a F-4C is eager to chase you, get rid of it as fast as possible by requesting support from your team.

* [[MiG-21 SPS-K (Germany)|MiG-21 SPS-K]]: Unlike other MiG-21s, there is a decent chance that the premium SPS-K model will be on the enemy team. The MiG-21 is a powerful interceptor, and can easily climb to altitudes that the Yak-28B might otherwise feel safe at. Armed with R-60 missiles and able to sneak up from behind, this MiG-21 poses a significant threat. Matches can and will end abruptly if an enemy SPS-K player spots you and is able to fire off a missile even up to 3 km behind you.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Immense acceleration
* High top speed
* Very good climb rate
* Has access to flares and chaff for self-defense against missiles (64 units in total)
* High energy retention
* Above 1,000 km/h, your plane compresses very slightly. This allows you to pull hard in a turn without any significant overload
* Very resistant flaps and gear that acts like an airbrake
* Very easy stock grind (if you do not count the amount of RP needed)
* The 3,000 kg bomb is very useful for bombing runs in ground RB (in air RB too, as it can destroy every kind of land targets)
* Has a primary weapon that can help you destroy some light ground targets at the end of the match

'''Cons:'''

* At the deck, this plane can redline and snap its wings even with no WEP (70% thrust allows you to stay outside the redline speed)
* No airbrakes
* Below 1,000 km/h, your plane will start to experience extreme overloads that can easily snap your wings within 4 seconds if you pull too hard
* Fuel starvation happens in negative-G manoeuvres
* Horrible turn rate that makes you vulnerable to even AIM-9Bs if you do not have countermeasures
* Low roll rate
* Extremely inaccurate bomb sight
* The drogue chute opens at 280 km/h and drops at 200 km/h
* Absolutely pitiful ammo capacity for NR-23 cannon renders it useless for nearly everything

== History ==

The Yak-28 "Brewer" is a swept-wing turbojet bomber used by the Soviet Air Force in the 1960s. In the late 1950s, the Yakovlev design bureau began work on an improved version of the Yak-26, which underperformed and failed to enter production. The new aircraft was powered by two Tumansky R-11 afterburning turbojet engines producing 57 kn of thrust each, slung in underwing nacelles. Otherwise, the aircraft featured a conventional configuration, with a 45-degree swept wing and a mid-tail-mounted horizontal stabilizer. The aircraft was primarily subsonic at low altitude but capable of 1840 km/h at higher altitude.

The first flight of the new aircraft occurred in March of 1958, and the western world first saw the aircraft at the Tushino Airshow in 1961. Initially, western analysts believed it to be a continuation of the Yak-25 fighter series, and was given the reporting name "Flashlight", but once its actual role was realized, it was redesignated "Brewer". The Yak-28 aircraft was ultimately quite successful in its role and several variants were created, including the Yak-28B tactical bomber, Yak-28P interceptor (armed with air-to-air missiles), the Yak-28R reconnaissance aircraft and the Yak-28U trainer. A total of 1180 Yak-28s of all variants were produced.

== Usage in battles ==


This plane is rather fast, has an immense acceleration, but turns also very poorly. This feature however gives it a good energy retention that allows it to juggle enemies if they get behind. The Yak-28B is also infamous for its very inaccurate bombsight in level flight, so to counter this con, you should consider diving at -20° or lower as it makes your bombs more likely to hit their target. The CCIP function is available, however, as it was installed in the bombardier nose, the function is only available in 3rd person view. Once your bombs are dropped, you can either bait enemies (if you have countermeasures) or quickly return to the airfield to get ready for another bomb run.

The Yak-28B can also find some success in the ground attack role in air battles. Carrying 6 x 250 kg bombs provides the best "bang" for your buck, as each bomb will destroy tough targets like medium tanks or light pillboxes in one shot. Your cannon can also be used to easily dispatch medium tank targets with a short burst. Both the cannon and bombs have a ballistic computer which is accurate enough at low level to allow precision strikes. Ground strike is the riskier role as you will be at low altitude, where your plane's structural speed limit may render you easy prey to enemy aircraft. However, provided you can destroy targets uncontested, both you and your team will profit more than if you focus on attacking base targets.

'''Enemies worth noting:'''

* [[Harrier (Family)]]: Harriers are very common and can pose you a significant threat, especially the ones that are loaded with the AIM-9G (AV-8A, AV-8C, Harrier GR.3) that has a very long range and a good 18 G overload.

* [[F-104A]] / [[F-104C]] / [[F-104A (China)|Chinese F-104A]]: The early F-104 series of jets are 1 of the only jets capable of keeping up with you no matter how high or fast you're going, they come packed with [[AIM-9B Sidewinder|AIM-9B]]'s and a fast firing [[M61A1 (20 mm)|20mm gatling gun]]. It's best to remain away from them as much as possible, as once they are chasing you there is a high chance they will catch up with you and eliminate you. Only way to truly run away from it is to either have your teammates engage it or fly back to base where the base SPAA will protect you.

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to 12.0 BR as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to a new missiles called the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the {{Annotation|R-73|The R-73 is a close-mid range missile coming in a all-aspect IR tracking. It has a operational range of 30 km and a speed of 2.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 105 kg and has a warhead of 7.4 kg, using a direct hit to detonate itself on the target. Also known as the successor to the R-60M}}. That are both superior any current existing long and short range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i personally thought after the MiG-27 family would be a good spot as those jets we're used like interceptors in air battles in WT. As i think after the [[MiG-23MLD]] isn't a good spot cause the MiG-23MLD is more of a dog fighter than a interceptor, and both jets have a complete separate play styles and characteristics.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Pe-8 Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the Pe-8's point and avoid the [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the Pe-8 in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* [[Pe-8]] or any other Bomber with similar characteristics (carries 1 large bomb)
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you.

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

My skins: [https://live.warthunder.com/post/1024074/en/ ISU-122]

== War Thunder Wiki work ==

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to 12.0 BR as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to a new missiles called the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the {{Annotation|R-73|The R-73 is a close-mid range missile coming in a all-aspect IR tracking. It has a operational range of 30 km and a speed of 2.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 105 kg and has a warhead of 7.4 kg, using a direct hit to detonate itself on the target. Also known as the successor to the R-60M}}. That are both superior any current existing long and short range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i personally thought after the MiG-27 family would be a good spot as those jets we're used like interceptors in air battles in WT. As i think after the [[MiG-23MLD]] isn't a good spot cause the MiG-23MLD is more of a dog fighter than a interceptor, and both jets have a complete separate play styles and characteristics.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Pe-8 Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the Pe-8's point and avoid the [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the Pe-8 in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* [[Pe-8]] or any other Bomber with similar characteristics (carries 1 large bomb)
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

== War Thunder Wiki work ==

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to 12.0 BR as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to a new missiles called the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the {{Annotation|R-73|The R-73 is a close-mid range missile coming in a all-aspect IR tracking. It has a operational range of 30 km and a speed of 2.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 105 kg and has a warhead of 7.4 kg, using a direct hit to detonate itself on the target. Also known as the successor to the R-60M}}. That are both superior any current existing long and short range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i personally thought after the MiG-27 family would be a good spot as those jets we're used like interceptors in air battles in WT. As i think after the [[MiG-23MLD]] isn't a good spot cause the MiG-23MLD is more of a dog fighter than a interceptor, and both jets have a complete separate play styles and characteristics.

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

==== ZSU-23-4M4 ====
<s>No Image Found yet</s>

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Pe-8 Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the Pe-8's point and avoid the [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the Pe-8 in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* [[Pe-8]] or any other Bomber with similar characteristics (carries 1 large bomb)
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available

== About me ==

=== Introduction ===
Hello, my name is Shootsave. I am a dedicated player of War Thunder, with a focus on the USSR ground and air vehicles. I have been playing the game since 2019 and am committed to owning every USSR vehicle, including event and premium options. War Thunder is my primary gaming interest, and I have a passion for researching and learning about the various in-game vehicles. In November of 2022, I began contributing to the War Thunder Wikipedia to share my knowledge and improve the accuracy of information about certain vehicles. I hope to continue expanding my expertise and contributing to the War Thunder community in the future.

=== Outside War Thunder Wiki ===
As a dedicated player of War Thunder, I have also had the opportunity to create a custom skin for the WT Live platform, although my time and other commitments have limited my ability to continue working on it. In addition to playing the game, I also take the time to research and seek answers to any questions I may have about War Thunder, even if it means digging through forums and other resources. Overall, my goal is to continue learning and improving my skills as a player, and to contribute to the War Thunder community in any way that I can.

== War Thunder Wiki work ==

=== Goals ===
As a passionate player of War Thunder, I have a strong interest in the in-game USSR vehicles and their history. My goal for the War Thunder Wikipedia is to improve the accuracy and completeness of information about these vehicles, as well as to suggest new vehicles for possible inclusion in the game. In addition to my official contributions, I also enjoy exploring unconventional or humorous uses for certain vehicles and sharing my ideas with the community. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute valuable and engaging content to the War Thunder community.

'''Information and history'''

The MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a high-altitude, supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau in the Soviet Union. The MiG-25P (P stands for "Perekhvatchik," the Russian word for interceptor) is a version of the MiG-25 that was specifically designed for air defense and intercepting enemy aircraft.

The MiG-25P has a number of features that make it well-suited for its role as an interceptor. It is powered by two massive Tumansky R-15BD-300 engines, which give it a top speed of over 2,500 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of more than 20,000 meters. It is equipped with a powerful radar and a variety of air-to-air missiles, including the R-40, R-73, R-27 and R-60M missiles.

The MiG-25P was introduced in 1970 and saw service with the Soviet Air Defense Forces until the late 1980s. It was also exported to several other countries, including India, Iraq, and Syria. A total of 835 MiG-25Ps were built, with many of them remaining in service with various countries today. The aircraft has a reputation for being fast and agile, but also for having limited range and relatively poor performance at low altitudes.

'''Implementation into war thunder'''

The MiG-25P has a similar play style as the [[F-14A Early]] with it's [[AIM-54A Phoenix]]. This vehicle would be alright if implemented to 12.0 BR as even if it was to play on 11.0/11.3 matches it would dominate in long to medium ranges. But on the other hand in short range engages this vehicle would be a easy target, it has no offensive armament there for it has only access to missiles for close range encounters. Next to that it has a poor turning rate as its main ability (just like the [[Su-7 (Family)|Su-7 Family]] for example) is speed, it can go very fast but turning isn't the things its best capable of. It also has access to a new missiles called the {{Annotation|R-40|The R-40 is a long range air to air missile coming in a radar and IR seeking variant. It has a operational range of 50-80 km and a speed of 2.2-4.5 mach, being able to go vertically on a speed of 2.2 mach and horizontally on a speed of 4.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 475 kg and has a warhead of 100 kg, using radar or active laser fuzes (depending on what variant) to detonate when missing or just directly impacting the target}} and the {{Annotation|R-73|The R-73 is a close-mid range missile coming in a all-aspect IR tracking. It has a operational range of 30 km and a speed of 2.5 mach. The AAM weighs over 105 kg and has a warhead of 7.4 kg, using a direct hit to detonate itself on the target. Also known as the successor to the R-60M}}. That are both superior any current existing long and short range AAM. In mixed battles the MiG-25P would be useless against ground targets, as it has access to only AAM for interception. But to intercept helicopters, drones and enemy planes, The MiG-25P would be perfect.

As for where i think it should be implemented, i personally thought after the MiG-27 family would be a good spot as those jets we're used like interceptors in air battles in WT. As i think after the [[MiG-23MLD]] isn't a good spot cause the MiG-23MLD is more of a dog fighter than a interceptor, and both jets have a complete separate play styles and characteristics.

'''Information and history'''

The Soviet Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union, and is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built. It is also the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber currently in use, and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.

The Tu-160 was designed to carry nuclear weapons and was intended to be used as a long-range strategic bomber. It has a range of over 12,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of missiles and bombs, including cruise missiles and free-fall nuclear bombs. The Tu-160 has a crew of four and is equipped with a defensive suite that includes radar warning receivers, infrared jammers, and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Tu-160 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987 and has been in continuous service since. It has undergone several modernizations and upgrades over the years, including the addition of new avionics and weapons systems. A total of 35 Tu-160s have been built, with most of them still in service with the Russian Air Force.

'''Information and history'''

The Tu-128 (NATO reporting name: Fiddler) was a Soviet twin-engined, long-range interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s. The aircraft was designed to provide air defense for the Soviet Union against potential enemy bomber aircraft. It was equipped with radar and air-to-air missiles and was capable of flying at high speeds and altitudes, making it an effective interceptor. The Tu-128 was armed with two air-to-air missiles and could also carry bombs and unguided rockets.

The Tu-128 was produced from 1958 to 1961 and a total of around 200 aircraft were manufactured. The aircraft was equipped with the Molniya (Lightning) radar, which had a range of around 160 km and was capable of detecting enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Despite its capabilities, the Tu-128 was hampered by a number of technical problems, including engine reliability and limited range, and was eventually replaced by more advanced aircraft.

Despite its limitations, the Tu-128 played a role in the Cold War and was used by the Soviet Air Defense Forces. The aircraft remained in service until the 1970s, when it was gradually retired from active service and replaced by newer aircraft. Today, only a few Tu-128s can be seen in aviation museums in Russia and other countries.

==== ZSU-23-4M4 ====
<s>No Image Found yet</s>

'''Information and history'''

''WO''

=== made-up games for Custom Battles ===

==== Pe-8 Capture ====
A game mode where the SPAA needs to capture the Pe-8's point and avoid the [[FAB-5000 (5,000 kg)|FAB-5000]] that is put on a 8 second detonation timer. You're essentially driving a Tier I-IV SPAA of any country, shooting at the Pe-8 in hopes to take it down as you try to progress you're way to its point. It might seem impossible but with more numbers you have a higher chance to succeed. But at the same time there is a limit, for every 3 SPAA's there is 1 Pe-8: O''therwise obviously the Pe-8 will be overwhelmed''. The Pe-8 can reload its bombs, shoot back using its turrets: that keeps the gameplay up and intensely fun. there are no spawn limits for both teams, but there is a time limit. I personally keep it on 30 minutes but everyone may choose how long they wish for this to last.

'''Requirements:'''

* [[Pe-8]] or any other Bomber with similar characteristics (carries 1 large bomb)
* SPAA's of Tier I-IV
* Medium or Long range map to make it more challenging

==== Hide and Overpressure ====
A game mode where there is a seeker, a scouter and a hider (just like hide and seek basically). The seeker can be any tank but to make it more fun, it must be a tank capable of overpressuring: like the [[2S3M]], [[Sturmtiger|38 Cm Sturmmörser]], [[KV-2]], [[FV4005]] and etc. Then there are scouters, which can drive around in any tank or helicopter in search for the hiders. but they are not allowed to shoot back and only to help the seeker find the hider ''(but they are allowed to jam the hider from running away by crashing into them or driving against them)''. Then there are hiders, which are small tanks like the [[L3/33 CC]] who hide and are allowed to fight back to both the scouter and the attacker. Essentially when spawned in the seeker and scouter wait until the hiders have hidden, and when hidden: the scouter and seeker are allowed to go find them. The seek limit is 10 minutes.

'''Requirements'''

* ''Seekers'': a vehicle capable of overpressuring with HE or Rockets
* ''Scouters'': a helicopter or a fast moving vehicle
* ''Hiders'': a small vehicle that can easily hide in places
* a map with buildings (example: [[Berlin (Ground Forces)|Berlin]])

==== Tu-4 Kamikaze ====
A game mode where there is a Tu-4 that needs to survive as long as possible against rampaging kamikaze planes. There are basically planes that are slightly faster than you and are trying to crash into you to kill you, but they are not allowed to shoot you. While you are allowed to make use of you're 10 x [[NR-23 (23 mm)|NR-23]] turrets you have around you're whole bomber to defend yourself from them.

'''Requirements'''

* [[Tu-4]] or [[B-29A-BN|B-29]]
* Planes that are slightly faster than them

==== L3/33 CC Ambulance for tanks ====
[[File:L3-33 CC Ambulance.png|frameless]]

My friend Gilli815 has discovered a new way to utilize the [[L3/33 CC]] as a ambulance for tanks in higher BR, basically you stay behind where most of you're teammates are and come to aid if they are in need for repair or extinguishing. it was funny sitting in a T-54 getting fired at by multiple tanks, and then this small Italian L3 with this decal (as shown in the image) driving towards you to help you repair. it's very funny and its even effective if you're bored of having to fight people.

==== Sniping the enemy spawn with overpressure tanks ====
Ever wanted to make use of you're huge cannon and huge HE to kill someone who just spawned in at the start of the match? Well this section shows you the distance from every spawn point of every map to the enemies. So if you're tank has a huge bullet drop and is listed bellow as capable HE snipers: make use of this chart to help you instantly get a accurate distance to get a lucky kill.

==== Sound breaking kamikaze ====
''Ever thought about just wanting to kill the jet you overshot or overflew in a air battle but you're aim sucks, or you're out of ammo?''

introducing unguided HE rockets set to 200 meter detonation distance. simply get as close to a enemy plane and fire them away, its best to start firing at <400 meters. sadly while you are doing that you will die but its funny as hell. And the bigger the rockets the funnier it is. It's even '''more''' funny when you are going Mach 1.2 into a jet and just delete each other into little pieces. So in short: the faster the plane and bigger the missile is, the more epic you're kamikaze is going to be. ''<s>tho be ready to have a crew lock for self-destruction</s>''

# My Cheap Loadout for engaging Ground targets in GB: S-8KO are devastating when fired in small volumes and can earn you multiple eliminations. R-13M1 are optimal missiles to engage air targets from a medium range with decent ability to remain lock with a good G pull, perfect for engaging helicopters and diving Jets
# My main loadout for engaging ground targets in GB: KAB-500Kr are TV guided bombs and are excellent at taking out targets from afar. Drop all 3 retarded bombs on the enemy target to fully empty your loadout, before proceeding with the gatling gun
# My main loadout when spading out the jet, drop all bombs on a base and make use of the AAM to engage enemy targets. R-13M1 for distant targets, R-60M for dog fighting and close range all-aspect targets.
# My fully TV guided loadout, not really useful to use in ground battles. But from some testing in custom battles, its quite effective to drop on ships. by locking on without weapon selection: 1 TV rocket and 1 TV bomb drop, making it a very fast way to empty out your whole explosive loadout from afar
# This is more a meme loadout than a actual useful one. because the MiG-27 comes with a self-shredding gatling gun, what is more fun than to get 2 more fast firing guns and become a flying bullet dispenser. And to top it off add some HE rockets: you have now become the reasons your tax is so high in your country. Its best used in custom games where infinite bullets and speed boost are available
