How to deal with MiG-25s in the Mirage IIIC

Today I went back to my Mirage IIIC for the first time since the MiG-25 came to the game, and I’m quite annoyed. These guys usually stay so far from the match that you don’t even know they exist, and then you randomly blow up because of a missile you didn’t see shot by a plane you didn’t see. Any advice to deal with this?

The easiest way is to not bother spawning in uptiers, and wait until the Mig-25 spam cools down.

Pay better attention to where enemies are, but you won’t be able to dodge an R-40 without flares unless you can out energy it.

J - out?

I guess I’ll just drop France for now, I wanna grind Sweden anyway

You know it’s bad when a good player gives that advice xD

I will be honest. I havent actually touched +/- 11.0 since the Mig-25 was added, but im in no rush to do so either

Tbh that br bracket was already very chaotic for my Mirage since I’m flareless and often face R-60Ms/MKs, but this just added to the problem. Decompression is more and more overdue

Yep, not a lot in that range id want to play on the regular anyway

Yeah I feel you. I main the mirage IIIC for events and when I want some jet fun and even on the day I was doing the last task for the MIG 25 the first match I got deleted by one that did not even show on my radar. Dropped it and went to play other stuff. Really hope it either gets moved up or most people decide to stop playing it in a couple months ptherwise I will have to look at uptiers more strictly and just not spawn in 11.0 matches.

I got killed by one before that did not even show up on my radar nor was he rendered in so that really does not apply.
