Yes, there are some very OP American planes, and if you focus on those it may look like overwhelming western bias. However, it is often easy to forget you also have some very good planes yourself.
Having played a bunch of tech trees I can assure you, the grass is always greener on the other side. You may think westen jets get better treatment, but I assure you, those playing western jets feel the same for Russian jets. It is much better to focus on what makes your tech tree good rather than what makes some other tech tree unfair, because all trees have good and bad aspects.

well the thing i like the most,its the speed,and flares witch i have all,what i dont like is the missles and radar,my grandpa is more aware than my radar during flight
Well, the problem is you’re trying to do a ground pound with a fighter. By doing that you are already having your capabilities butchered in half; hitting an enemy plane or anything dying before you hit that is just part of the game; you kind of have to learn to live with it.
yeah,but how they can just dodge whenever i shoot,i mean i can too but thats so annoying,and my radar is aiming so perfect at friendlys
You said it perfectly friend

agreed,but mirages are so good,in iran iraq war they were only jet to shoot f14,while f14 dominated iraq by 257confermed kill meanwhile iraq only did 59 and only 4 of them were f14
and oh boy the mig23 were just lunch
Unfortunately, my friend, all I can say is a lot of the times you have to be very careful about who, when, and how you are targeting people. Because if one of the factors can make you miss it will make you miss

I’m sorry, I’m failing to see what you’re trying to bring up with that. Could you clarify?
Generally all radars at that battle rating are subpar, it is unfortunately something you need to suffer through. However I did not have too much issues when playing the Mig-23 myself, perhaps there is something misconfigured. For example you might have accidentally turned off enemies on your radar with the new IFF feature.
I think we could help you better if you sent a screen recording of how you use your missiles. Radars are quite tricky to use right.

But trust me, when it comes to radar-guided missiles and just combat in the missile age, you have to have a lot of understanding and skill to utilize it correctly. You will get better over time, but it will be frustrating.
The best way I can explain it is if the aerial combat with guns was chess; now the combat with the missiles is chess with quantum mathematics slapped onto it.
hey isnt this the new player that was asking for the Mig23 ML after everyone told him its not a fun play?
I looked at one of your replays and it looks like you are having issues locking people with ACM. There is actually a trick to this, lock the plane with IR ACM and then switch back to regular radar. It is much more relaible and the ACM frame is actually on your crosshair. See video (I instantly get lock once I switch to IR):
It should also be noted that you can use larger radar ranges such as 90km, this makes it possible to lock people way before the merge. This makes it possible to spend time trying to lock the perfect opponent.
One thing you can try is to lead the target from a top down or side aspect shot so the R-60s seeker is hard up against it’s gimbal limit while tracking the target, that way when they pop flares they fly out of the seekers FOV before it can change course to track the flares, it’s not fool proof, but it dose help a bit.
this one was super helpful,i got atleast 3 kills becuase of it
