How to survive better in top tier

So I’m a Swedish main and right now im using the JAS39C with 2 rb 99s and 4 rb 74ms. What would be the best loadout, radar, and tactics to use. I know about multi-pathing and notching and do it every match but even if I do them it’s likely i’ll still get hit. I like grinding but it’s kind of frustrating getting killed so easily. I’ll take any tips and suggestions.

Look up some notching video guides on youtube. You need to learn how to notch fox3, how angle gating works, and the works. Multipathing is becoming more and more hard. Unless ur on a flat map, use hills and mountains more. And look at the other plans stats and characteristics. Each one is played in a special way. And if ur dying early game because of the enemy BVRing, just notch as soon as your RWR goes crazy. Also you don’t need to fly in straight into the furball, try flanking. If you have any other questions let us know.
(Edit Im not a swedish player so somewhat help him out with the loadout.)

I’ve done all that, I usually stay low to the side of the map and try to flank behind but i just get ganged on by su-30’s or f15 spamming 120’s at me that somehow hit me even if i am literally touching the ground.

Try sticking with a couple teammates closely. Less of a chance for people to single you out and spam 10 missiles on you. Like usually half the team leans to one side while the rest climb or go the other way. Follow the pack. You won’t die so early but harder to get kills.

Learn the maps

Also you could use a shark tactic. Go for the weaker planes rather than typhoons or su30s right now. And if you see your teammate 1v1ing, go help him. You might be considered as stealing his kill but half the time Im glad my teammate saved me in a losing dogfight. Lastly, if your teammate is getting ganged on, still go help him as the enemy is probably laser focused on him.
