Trying to make some kind of progress on my AR 234 C-3. See one of two MiG 21 R-13-OP2LOBRs beelining me while I’m still over the spawn zone. Try to dive for the airfield because he’s too high or too fast for anybody in my team to intercept. He casually darts through every fighter and beans me with a missile which I CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT.
Twin MiGs then proceed to annihilate my team of WWII and Korean era planes.
This isn’t a fair uptier. These planes have no defense against these PREMIUM aircraft. That match was P2W and I’m honestly ready to give up on trying to work past 8.0 because every other match one of these MiGs is there to slam dunk anything underneath it. Can’t outrun them, which means you also can’t out turn them unless they’re dumb enough to not know anything about flying them. Can’t evade their fire. Best you can do is aim your nose for the ground and deprive them of their stat pad but not their satisfaction of having ruined your game.
People flying this plane bring only it to the fight. It gets an automatic 0.3 reduction in BR because of this. Can this not be taken away? Even then, all MiG 21s should be raised at least to 9.3 so that they aren’t fighting against aircraft form the late 1940s. I can dodge a 109 in a biplane because the technology gap of the time means that they actually have to use their skill to get close to me and hit me with targets. I can’t do a thing against a Mach 1.8 interceptor with computer guided missiles when my fighter only goes 500mph and has 30mm bean bags.
Enough of the P2W Gaijin. Until it is fixed, I’m just going to exit any match that they are present in as I consider them to be a cheat at this point.

Last I checked, the lowest MiG 21 is 9.3, while WWII era planes ends at like 7.7
9.0, can be dropped down to 8.7 because of arcade weirdness.
7.7, can meet 8.7.
The principles of bombing in arcade is point nose toward enemy with missiles, dodge if they engage, and bomb when able.
Take land terrain following routes when able.
This will increase your survival.
R-13 is undertiered in arcade tbh.
So just let him engage with cannon? I know I have some weaponry, but he can juke up on sight of one tracer and have more than enough energy to come at me from whatever angle that he like. Why not just climb up 1000m or so and realign to get the lock? That’s pretty much a constant at this phase.
This is the thing. There is no option on the table besides the premium pilot not knowing their vehicle and trying to pilot it like a Zero. Nobody does that. They buy them because they know they can farm anything below them with impunity.
I can handle early jets. Dodging them or trying to outrun them is fun. They are well within range of what the technology of late WWII/Korea can handle. It takes skill to catch me and it takes skill to evade them. I just want that to be the standard for this game.
The BRs around 8.0 are generally desolate even during prime hours. One has to wonder why?
And this issue applies not just to bombers, but to my 262s, early US jets, Japanese, Italian, whatever. The MiG 21 simply outclasses them like an F-86 vs an I-16.
For those of you crying cope. Try it out sometime and see how much fun you have.
The only reason I see the stats staying this way is because they don’t want to deal with the backlash of people who paid to club.
Or you can play realistic were you actually have a good matchmaker and at worst you will face a SAAB105G.
Ooooor. And stay with me on this. Or they can fix the BR in Arcade.
Why do you fly a bomber anyway?
The problem isnt with the Mig. The problem is that none of the bombers are really worth it above 7.0. (Other than some top tier Multi-roles).
You will constantly face jets, at times the missiles… which at this BR are designed as anti-bomber weapons. Thats really all I can say.
