Help with spading rank VII British planes

I’m seeking help as for title. I have just grinded rank VII Brit planes using a rank VI line with Harrier GR1, Hunter F6 and Hunter FGA 9 that was pretty good and I had a good K/D. Now I’m grinding rank VIII and I need a line of rank VII in order to avoid penalisations. My line is the Sea Harrier, the two Hawk 200 and the Phantom FGR2 for a total BR of 11.3. It seems to me that those planes are inferior by far to what I encounter at that BR, at least for what concerns the stock version (maybe, once spaded, I will have fun with them). Any idea to spade them without dying 800k times (and besides using GE)?

I tell you now what I realized before:
Arcade ends around rank VI. Beyond that, arcade starts to turn into comedy. But let us assume that you are intended to play comedy arcade still. What to do?
Spade the planes in realistic. The mode should actually be called “snobistic”, because it is full of entitlement, including RP. You can grind a module per mission in realistic if you shoot a few pillboxes and stay alive for most of the match. Arcade never rewards you like that, even if you butcher the enemy team singlehandedly.
When you have grinded the modules you need, you can return and play arcade. If you still want to.

Thank you. This is a good idea. I’m playing arcade because I’m a casual player and I do not have much time to spend in flying for 10 minutes and dying the two seconds after :-)

Just for curiosity: why for you arcade beyond rank VI become a comedy?

Maps are still surreal (like chinese mountains) and small. Planes are still faster than irl. They spawn very close to each other. The resulting battle is just grotesque.

If I want to bomb a base in arcade in rank VII, I need to deploy air breakes at spawn so I am slow enough to drop 5 seconds later. That is comedy in my book.
