You’ll have to work with your team. Hunters have good MER so spiral climb against bleeders.
If you want something more like a Spitfire, try the Attacker, or Swift F.7. The UK tree has a bunch of other interesting jets you can also try, like the Canberra, Scimitar, Venom, Vampire, and Lightning.
How should I play it?
I can’t do shit if anything get’s on my six. Even when I play so no ono get’s there.
Nothing
Can’t dodge, even if a bomber was chasing me, since it can’t turn
Can’t outrun even if it’s a Mig-17 or Saber (just had a game when a CL-13 killed me, was chased from start of the game and had ZERO inpact in game)
Can’t even force overshoot, yea I am sure slowing down to 600km/h is good for turning like a brick
I hate this jet
1st kill with 9E, somehow it hit him
2nd was on F4 that decided to go up when doing 400km/h in a dogfight with someone else
3rd on Fitter near his airfiled, he was gaining altitude so I cut bellow him for speed, removed his right wing, crashed on landing
4th Fishbed that was flying for 5minutes without wings, Intercepted him, missed, sprayed all of my shots at 1.5km, somehow hit him
I simply hate this, not one kill felt good, There was no thrill, I feel sorry for the guys I shot down
I would post replay here so others can help me and tell me what I am doing wrong
Having 10 AoA at best speeds and around 5/8 AoA at other speeds is a death sentence, most players can press W and A key, and you can’t do anything about it, you can’t stay on target
Of course it has good energy retention…It Can’t Turn

Be Honest no one play them, even at the begining of the game, the fga9 was correct for 3/4 month, after he was nerfed and dominate by all mig 17AS/Mig 19 better than you (same for all premium brits!). ANd i don’t speak now with the 10.0 F6 stupidity!! Thx gaijin definitely turn this plane into the cemetery. SRAAM are a joke bugged and so useless, they are like magic missile and act like a dog junkie and rush the first flmare they see or sometimes rush verticaly to the floor without reason!?!
And some said “yeah they are good plane manageable”, pfff that why they are meta and evyone play them at each battles, even in SIM its crap.
Hunter f6 is another vic that shouldnt of been moved
The global stats are great but 4 missiles vs flareless, GB players are just better and many players not playing in uptiers is why
Now it sits same Br as the squadron that has flares… another 1 relegated to the ever growing pile of dust
They could of just nerfed it to 2 missiles. Balancing with stats will kill WT in the end
Or make 2 separate Hunter F.6 variants. One with just 2 missiles and no flares but at a lower BR for a earlier variant and the existing one stays where it is BR wise but gets flares, maybe more powerful AIM-9’s (AIM-9G or P) but only 2 of them

Pair of Aim 9Ps and flares has been proven with the Hunter F.58 late as the Swiss squadron vehicle in the German tree. Unfortunately however, Hunters never used Aim-9G or P in British service
didnt one of the later trainer variants of the Hunter use 9Gs?
Yes
The GA.11 more specifically

Yeah cause firestreak under AIM-9B in BR makes sense?
maybe against 21F-13, against MF or especially against SMT that will not work
