The MiG-23 has never been an aircraft that has caught my attention. Fate and some of the others have been putting a lot of hours recently and eventually convinced me to buy this premium variant and give it a try. It is actually a lot of fun and glad I finally gave the MiG-23 a fair chance.

I understand and recognize that the cockpit is what some would call "turquoise". I refuse to recognize the color "turquoise" as a real color. So my question is this... is the cockpit Green or Blue??
Bleen
This is insane, I'd love to play with you, I played with one if your friends from UK yesterday, he goes my school
It’s turquoise 👺👍🏻
It’s cyan because the colour is In minecraft and minecraft is a good source of world info
Cyan perhaps?
That turn fight with the other Mig 23 was pretty spectacular 😮
seeing him not unsweep his wings was a little sad tho... could have saved stick's life
Bro, that fight... the best way to show airmanship with knowledge of a plane. I think that's the first time I've seen Bo face off against the same plane he was flying.
Some don't have it set manually.@@mikhailjairnisbett441
The Soviets loved that blue. At their Officer's Mess at Monino...they painted the same color...coined "Soviet Blue" on the inside. The sad point was the building was a 17th Century Chateau with very intricate wood carving on the interior...and the slapped the paint on it.
BTW I know it is unlikely...but visiting Monino would be a worthy visit. It has one of the best Air Museums I have ever seen. (I visited in January 1993)
Reminds me of that colur that they use in hospital to keep doctors awake
Almost the same reason in their fighters, to keep the pilot alert, yet calm.@@maybehasmildautism
Well done! You even managed the dream of Nascar drivers, and turned right!
Keep it up, Bo & Co!
Give Bo anything with Czech decals and he score an ACE, just czech it out! This one was ofc Soviet made, but served in Czechoslovakia air force.
Czech it out...LOL
Never realized how amazing bo is in a plane till the fight at 2:00 well done
He’s ok at best
@@tobi2233 lmao ok bro
@@WowCoolHorsehe’s not “amazing” dude, he doesn’t even know to fold your wings out in a dog fight
@@CharlieDoesntSurf He's a damn good pilot, maybe not an amazing dogfighter (yet) but when it comes to flying, tactics and either killing or assisting, he's great. And that's for a player who's also damn good in ground RB. No need to be negative.
That dogfight was so painful to watch xD Bo still flies like its 2012
15:51
Good news Bo! The AV-8A isnt a great turnfighter either! In fact…the AV-8A can barely turn, and that’s _with_ the vectored thrust *and* airbrakes. I’d mention flaps too, but those kinda eject themselves from the airframe if you’re going any faster than a school bus on a freeway.
One of the better aspects about this aircraft is that it has a J-band radar. At its own br, aircraft that can detect J-band locks with their RWR are few and far in between, and even in uptiers, that number doesn't grow very substantially, meaning most targets you lock have no clue that there's an R-24R heading for them until it's already in their cockpit. This includes other MiG-23's, interestingly enough.
Best turn fight I've ever seen in war thunder, good job Bo.
This was an amazing video to help record. I love this plane so much and was really glad to be able to finally make a video on it!
It's always nice to see you in the videos Fate!! 😊
Great video Bo, definitely showed that you are a terrifyingly great pilot, and a danger to the aircraft on the enemy team. Keep up the great work.
That was a long turn fight nice win though Bo. great video as always
Glad you enjoyed
Love your content Bo. Can’t wait for more!
An amazing Air Thunder video! It's always a treat when you post these, Bo. I know these are a pain for not much rewards but your fans truly appreciate it!
Great video!! That 5 kill battle was incredible. Some of the finest flying I have ever seen in this game!
the Mig23ML is THE best tier 7 premium in game, not even close, i love the Mig23s
although i don't have the ML, i do have the german MLA(which in game is the same plane), it is one of my favorite jet in game, even after i got the Mig29G, F-16C and all that fancy new stuff, i still fly it all the time
That plane is huge! Loved the video❤
That MiG-23 duel was pure drama
May I dare say, I think the MiG-23ML is the best support fighter in a up tier in tgmhe game, because I've been having an absolute blast with it the past few days with like 90 percent of my games being uptiers, many of those games were 3 kills or more.
Casually watching new Bo video at 3:30am when I can't sleep XD
todays video brought to you by the phrase " missile, missile, missile"
Bo not sweeping his wings out in a dogfight 😭
Great video! Loved the tiger stripes!! 🐅 💜
After a match of picking out friendlies and not getting hits on the enemies the ACM decided to go for the target that was most likely to be a hit - the one parked in a hanger at the airfield.
That first flight is what war thunder should be about. Thank you for that Bo.
The Jet videos are always a blast, sweet flying there guys
keep up the great videos Bo! I love your channel
Damn good recommended, 9 seconds ago. Thanks YT
Thank you Fate, Bo and Stick! 💜
Bo, I recommend you use the r24T for dogfights, at close range it completely ignores flares
Is that for each plane variant? I see Bo’s radar is different than mines on the MiG 23ML but I have the same jet the premium one if that helps
Russian MiG 23ML
I only tested this for the MiG-23ML, and the r24T is better in dogfights, although if your are staying a sniper stick with r24R. The R-13M’s also ignore flares but they are rear aspect so not as good as r24t
Great video with some fantastic hits
I agree with everyone else that has said it, that turn fight was amazing, way to manage your energy and force the overshoot Bo!
That kill from taking off the airstrip was amazing. Followed by the missile dodge from the second enemy plane
Nice to see an ace. Love the video hope y'all have a wonderful weekend❤
Funfact: In Air RB you could skip the ~20 seconds rearmament countdown by J-ing out when you had stopped at the airfield. Although this trick could only be used if your plane is in pristine condition (meaning no aircraft model appearing on the bottom left corner). Hope that helps.
Bro that mig 23 vs mig 23 fight was just insane!
Bo, that was the best turn fight I've ever seen.
Please more content with Mig-23! I love that plane
Hell of an ace game that’s for sure
17:45 there is an entire room in my house painted that shade of turquoise and it’s honestly not bad
6 years after I started watching...
this....
I still love it
That turn fight was awesome
Awesome video!
Bo stumbling into an identical tail to tail dog fight is so Bo lmao. The BFM was real tho. Bo got dis.
Another entertaining episode.
I love how fate mentions the Tornado may have a radar missile... but the only Tornados with radar missiles are British and Italian...
This makes me want to play it again
Great video Bo, you should try doing sim battles see what shenanigans come out of that
15:08 Fifteen prairie dogs for triple ace: kudos, they're notoriously small and hard to hit!
great plane great vid
Sometimes I play top tier jets just to remind myself how hard it is. Well done.
When I was learning to fly the mig 23ml I found the air brake helped a lot with turning
Yeah I do that and cut burner and almost turn instantly
@@icespikegaming6786 or just fully open your wings
A bit underrated plane, yet one of, if not the best premium jet at the moment. Tough I don't have it (my brother does), and I don't have the nerves to fly out my tech-tree one, bare stock, with 2 R-13Ms (i'm no charity to be a free kill for some bastard/valet-warrior)!
Love it bo
Justin truly was an amazing villain
The radar and R24R combo on this plane is so underrated
There is two modes of Bo and his friends: a full circus or perfectly coordinated professional gamers.
That right there is a true ace.
For the mig 23 next time. Make sure to have a key bind to manually have your wings swept out to 0 percent to improve your retention and turn rate. If available for this aircraft, (I only say that because I fly the MLA) I fly it with 20m of fuel and a drop tank. I never have fuel issues. In that fight you could have dropped the extra fuel to make the weight difference not as great.
Legendary dogfight at the beginning
But Let me ask what radar settings do you have?
I'm playing the mig 23ml too and struggle a bit with my radar settings
I love how you marked plane as part of the Czechoslovak People's Airforce. I've always been fascinated by that country's history from the times of the Bohemia up to today. They had one of the most effective military of the Warsaw Pact outside the Soviet Union.
As for why the Soviet Union painted their cockpits turquoise green is because it's one of the colors that are the least straining for the eyes on long periods of time. This allowed their pilots to stay on alert and have their eyes in good shape during long flights and in combat. The cost is entirely irrelevant. Paint is paint. It's for the same reason that the work uniforms of nurses and surgeons are about the same green in hospitals. It's to keep everyone alert and allow the parts of the eye that allow us to see the color red to rest for a while when the personnel is doing a surgery.
Blue paint is for empowerment, confidence, and calming
The MiG-23 is a menace in the right hands.
Got to close the ground there Bo
I was the tomcat in the second clip, Fate absolute waxed me
When the f16 shot at Bo, it sounded like he was spitting 😂 9:54
Am I crazy or they’re paw prints on that little belly mounted Rutter just below the engine? Also, that maneuvering thing with the F4 at the beginning of the video was pretty wild.
great going :)
Try flying one of the Tornadoes, the Fighter variants are surprisingly competent~
Tornado? Try the F-4C!
Hey bo! Could you make a video on how to use radar with like sparrows and r24?
that dude at the start had the moves
Wonder if the tiger skin of the ml is the custom downloaded skin, cus i thought this was 23m exclusive :)
Can you do a video on the A-6 Intruder
Yes a plane with funny people in them
How do you do that constant turn with out passing out is that the pure power of crew upgrades?
poor stick always troubles on him :D he is like a meat shield
This is the crew I wish I had.
Ok I’m a weird person. But in my head, I always am thinking of the music from the History Channels Dogfights series when Bo and the gang play high tier jets.
Yes
17:18 ive lost track ofnthe number of players i have chased or seen be chased in to that mountain
Every top tier match in an ace combat game
"I'm sick of turning left"
said no NASCAR driver ever.
Have you ever thought about trying the He 162 A-2?
I like that skin, reminds me of tiger sharks
Suddenly Bo has created aircraft NASCAR.....
Never thought I’d see Soviet nascar before, but in the air
Please help me with one question. Why do you radar lock plane when R60M use IR guidence system?
Hi bo just bought this what loadout do you reccomend?
Good game
Just why you don't manually decrease wing sweep when dogfighting? 23s don't loose speed with fully extended wings and get better turn performance. Auto wing sweep is optimized for the best speed, not dogfighting capabilities
That was like 2 fat guys trying to have a knife fight in a phone booth. Neither of them can turn their back or escape, but they also can't outmaneuver each other.
Thought they were going to run out of fuel in the long turn fight dance
Wait bo actually tried to play the game seriously? I thought he only sick around and crash into each other. 😂
What mode do you use for your radar?
17:45, GREEN?!?!?!? that is a shade of BLUE
Use manual wing sweep. Makes dogfights easy.
Was this the same day you flew it on stream?
And another left turn… and another left turn… and another left turn… and a final left turn
Can you guys play the daimler mkii
Day 4
