[UPDATE - February 29, 2024] - Gaijin is adding a new MiG-23 (the Hungarian MiG-23MF in the Italian tree). It is completely identical to the German MiG-23MF, just in the hungarian subtree. Refer to the MiG-23M/MF part of the guide (9:35) to also learn the Hungarian identical copy MiG-23MF.
[Original Description]
Wow, didnt upload in a while (there was no content, calm down). Dont worry, We are back in full swing!
Yes, this video is inspired by ManyMilesAway's "Salty Unicorn Reviews" series.
Yes, its a meme and not meant to be taken 100% seriously. Please dont type 10 paragraphs in the comments about how butthurt you are
Since some of the utter idiots at War Thunder top tier are too stupid to fly the MiG-23, and especially the premium MiG-23ML, here is a simple guide (full of memes). This video was originally intended for the MiG-23MLD, ML, and MLA since they faced F-16s and MiG-29s, but branched out to also include the MiG-27s and MiG-23M and MiG-23MF. Lets hope that gaijin does not further ruin top tier jets with AMRAAMs on the F-15 or a Su-27 with R-77 in the upcoming update and make this video outdated.
Who even reads the description under a video anyways? You must be really bored.
