This premium plane needs to either be dropped to a lower battle rating or increased and given radar guided missiles like the Bison that Britain gets. Every plane can just out flare the m60s with ease at that battle rating it’s currently at. Plus 90% of the time it just gets up tired, so PLEASE Gaijin do something!
i mean you cant really get radar missiles in the thing, R-27’s was a Bison only modification. and even then R-3R’s use pulse seekers so they are super chaffable

Well damn, that sucks. It needs something though, because it’s awful at it’s current battle rating.
yeah R-60’s are not the best, may just need some good ol decompression. thats what most things suffer from.

Mig-21Bis was already reduced in BR.
Its one of the strongest 11.0s in the game.
Mig-21 Bison is not a Mig-21Bis.
You’d be amazed how many people you can surprise with R3R’s
Yes, there’s many up tiers, for sure. Lowering the BR won’t change that, just compress the lower ones more. As for being easily flared, same can be said of pretty much everything @ 11.0.
Yeah but it almost always faces the F4S and that just claps it everytime with the AIM7s
All vehicles suffer in an up tier, the Mig 21 isn’t exclusive to this.
Heck the F4S suffers heavily in the up tiers it faces as well, and also like most, feasts in a down tier.
yes, this isnt fixed by putting the MiG-21 down. this is fixed by decompressing br’s. we cant just say “lower x vehicle” we need major decompressing and gaijin thinks decompression is add .3 br higher what doesnt cut it.
true
Skill issue. R-3Rs work on people not paying attention, and use the R-13M1 if you’re struggling with rear aspect flare resistance. Its a good plane and is fine where it’s at.

I really don’t want all aspect r60ms at 10.7 on a decent platform
The Mig-21bis/Lazur-M is quite good at 11.0, and it might even need to go up to 11.3.
It just suffers due to BR compression and uptiers, like all other jets.

i’d not say it’s plane itself except for speed bleed. it’s rather battles which require maximum range and reliability in getting kills and stupid/unupgraded majority of players in ARB. overall 21bis can kill even phantoms
Good lord… the 21bis isn’t even bad at 11.0 right now

I’m calling improper usage of missiles on this one

Lol. 21bis relies on R-60, R-13M1… If the enemy team knows how to flare it basically degrades to a 9.7.
Cool, if they know how to flare it they become in gun range.
I have almost 1000 Games in the lazur-M and it does not suffer from such an uptier issue, most F4s players are easily to counter if you how to fly the mig right.
If it relies solely on the gun then it isn’t even worthy of 8.7, it will fly worse than the MiG-17.
