The Vampire is a slow jet in all its forms - so no, it is not just you.
Ist only a bad 8.0 i suggest going for the sk60 sab 105 line on its tier its simply outclassed
Mig-15s and Sabers going down in BR killed a lot of the 7.0-8.0 bracket.
You basically end up fighting them in most games, and they bully the lobby.
COMPRESSION + 1.0 BR range makes this game impossible to balance.
You are in a 7.0 jet at 8.0 that often gets 9.0 uptiers. Learn how to reverse opponents.
what does reverse opponents mean??
You force an enemy that is faster than you to overshoot (miss you on his attack), then you have an opportunity to counter-attack. This is done more easily if you fly at a speed where you turn well (and your turn circle is tighter), but the opponent does not (compressing due to high speed). You can manipulate energy states of your opponent because to attack you, they must come to you.
Imagine that you’re a fisherman, and your bait is giving an illusion that your enemy has a shot on you, making the enemy come as close to you as possible (without getting a shot on you because your turn circle is tight enough to make it physically impossible).
Youtube should have plenty of examples.
This may help understand what happens to turn circles over time the speed changes:
Spoiler
yes, the Vampire lacks speed. but its maneuverable enough. Plus you have great AKAN cannons. Use those for your advantage
I found that its rather hard to find anyone in ARB willing to fight a Vampire. They just Boom and Zoom you or completely ignore you. You’re too slow to change the outcome of the match in uptiers which is 90% of the time.
