How failed this aircraft is IRL? An aircraft that was produced in the hundreds, was sold to 14 different airforces, continues to serve 4 airforces to this day 53 years after it’s introduction and was actively involved in most wars between the 70’s and the 90’s? You sure have some high standards for success, if you think the mirage F1 isn’t good enough for it’s time.
Like you understand that even though the south african mirage F1’s were blocked from having radar or all aspect IR missiles by international sanctions, they still weren’t shot down by the mig-23ml’s that did have them? (one was hit, but made it back to the runway - if that counted as being downed, then the F-15 doesn’t have a perfect record). And by the way, more mig-23mls were downed over angola in 2 years of combat (7), than mirage F1’s over a period of 8 years (2).
Honestly the problem here isn’t the mirage F1 or the mig-23, it’s your warped perception of reality.
Why are you pointing to all those threads when they are arguing that the ingame mirage F1 is facing enemies that are too tough for it? They are disproving your argument that the ingame mirage F1 is too strong. If you are having a skill issue, try to watch this video and figure out what the mig-23 ml’s were doing wrong.

That Mig-23ML should have utterly rinsed you bruh, he has almost every flight performance edge on you (Except for instant turn at high speed since he doesn’t have the MLD’s aero). He decided to contest a vertical when he had significantly less energy, then committed low without a certain shot allowing you to pull inside his turning circle, then reversed turn against someone who is already inside his control zone
