Yes but how do i use it??? Lot of time my team just die and became 1v1 with the enemy for the Mig-23 I can detect it and head it direction but how about for the Su-17m4?
for earning SL, you just need to play as best u can, unfortunately I cant really give tips on how to earn it, folks say spam a prem in naval, or use a prem air craft n base bomb, which sure gives SL at the time, but youll always lose SL playing normally if you dont learn to play at the same time.
shifting up a BR step as well, you will usually lose SL to begin with as you are into a new area of gameplay. e.g 9.0 to 10.0 or rank 6 to 7 especially for air as it introduces more agile platforms with more dangerous missiles.
SL hasn’t been an issue for me since the economy change, especially if u have some premium time as you literally cannot lose SL
The radar of Bis is better despite lacking MTI mode which is glitchy.
It has an ACM mode to quickly lock targets, and you don’t need to do the clumsy target switching/spam mash the lock button. That means the bis radar is way more practical for radar slaving IR seekers.
The biggest problem of mig 23m is it’s lack of flares, only 12 of them. To me this isn’t enough for fast missiles with small seekers (PL-5B/magic) and you can’t be focused on looking back all the times so pre flaring is a requirement.
Its more than enough to deal with whats there.
You can use the speed of the plane to go over, and flank the enemy, drop 4 R60s into the mix then use the R23 for when folks try leg it.
I run it with 8 Flares and 4 chaff, its also large caliber and pops one at a time, not 2.
