The Italian’s tech tree MIG-15 has too high of a BR.
The matches go from 8.7 till 9.7.
It litteraly has no chance. Everything is faster, more mobile, and most have missiles, and supersonic speeds.
The playstyle is to stick to the ground and ground pound, and if theres a chance, you can get a kill if someone is not paying attention.
My suggestion would be to take the MIG-15 down to 8.3 or 8.0 so it can still play in the 7.3-8.3 bracket.
Then it would have a fighting chance and would be more fun to play.
Honestly the main problem with the Italian-Hungarian MIG that it lacks everything that the jets from 9.7 use. Missiles, mainly. Supersonic speed, rwr, and radar. Of course, since its an aircraft from the 50’s.
Years ago it was perfectly fine against the Sabre for example, thats also 8.3. I dont see, the reason behind the decision to make it 8.7. I could be wrong and im totaly okay with that. But i think “one of the last dogfighters” need to be at the same BR.
Well, i would like to play this plane in proper simulator battles, enduring confrontation. Not the ground battle variant. Thats the problem really. 8.7 and 9.7 is really different.
You have not one, not two, but three 37mm autocannons. These are so powerful that It can kill any aircraft in the game with a single, not even good, half decent shot. Being slow is kind of a perk unless fighting MiG-21’s and F-104’s, as you have better turn and maneuverability. Not to mention I think this thing has two missiles, or am I thinking of the Shenyang?
