I have had the most success with the Lazur in Sim. It just might be a Sim only plane, much like the first premium Tornado, A-6E TRAM, and the new premium JA37DI. Every time I take them into Air RB, I get clapped something fierce. But in Sim, I do fine with them.
It tends to be easier to down an enemy when they arent given a massive indictor death is coming at mach Jesus.
