I need tips for the mig23bn

so
i just got that thing
and uhh
im struggling
ik you should use it for bombing and only that
but is there a way to use it for a2a combat?

I suppose you could use it for boom n zoom and take a rocket pod to larp as flares, but ask yourself whenever you want to boom n zoom with Gsh-23 with 200rpg.

You only have the canon with only 200 rounds, and zero AAM’s, so its in my opinion not suited for A2A combat at all.

So the question for me is, why would you insist on using a dedicated strike aircraft as a fighter? That’s not its role, and you’re not doing yourself (nor the aircraft…) a favor by trying to play it as a fighter.

This goes for many if not most strike aircraft especially in higher tiers, but sadly is often ignored by players and thus leads to a lot of frustration and negativity.

I suppose you could run gun pods and/ or S-24s on air burst and try headoning people, but if you want to play air to air you are better off grinding the actual fighters rather than trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole. Unless you are trying to spade it for CAS of course.
