Yes and so which one i shall buy…? I am almost at 800k SL for the Mig-23 or the Mig-21 they both cost exactly the same price.
mig 21 bis is foldered, mig23m is something you have to research to move down the line, maybe that is something to take into consideration?
12 countermeasures on tbe mig23M
Mig23M leads to the better foldered MLD.as well as progresses the line.
The mig21 i skipped as.iv3 used the lazur extensively and its exactly the same…
The mig23M for 11.0 is a fantastic plane, itll teach you a lot , wing sweep, speef management. Countermeasure management.
Which is essential things to learn for higher BRs .energy management etc

ok but i am a pure free to play guy need lot of help with SL currently using 12.0 Ground Arcade will this make grinding faster then relastic?
You wont make more per match technically grb makes more sl and rp.
However if you can overall perform better in Arcade than realistic it may make more sl faster

Will the Victory Wager work on the Ground assault as One more battle lost, I will loose all my moneys
HMm i dont actually know as I do not tend to use hte wagers
I am unsure if it will count, but if you lose it you don’t lose the money, you just get the money you’ve earned so far
Ok I made my final decision. 70% of the people i ask prefer the Mig-23M now… I need tips for how to fly it
need to keybind wing sweep for a start, i usually stick to 70 percent
ok and more as i remeber correctly the missle are R-60m and only 12 countermeasure and how shall i use them probaly. do i even need to bring chaff?
Personally I use it 8 and 4 last I took it out, as the chaffe are handy against F4E’s and such.
Though last I checked the Mig23M used Large caliber ones and pops one at a time, rather than two so it should be 12 full pops u get.
So as well as that, the missiles you start with I believe its 2 x R60. which isnt much and they are flare hungry .
use them as you would an R60, close range, about 0.7km to 1.5km, only above 1.5km if you are going above mach 1.05 and closing the gap quickly.
As well as this the wing sweep is something you will have to manage to make the plane perform, the automatic mode is handy for newer players though, so if it is too much to get to grips with at once, try that.
The radar set is a bit of a mixed bag. It has MTI mode which is like Pulse doppler as it filters ground clutter.
However the caveat is, it can only be activated below 1500 meters altitude. and if the radar is pointing below the horizon
so effectively to use the R23R’s which are okay missiles not great or terrible, you need to point the plane below the horizon and under 1500meters alt
other than that, its just a case of play and figure it out as you go too

R60m is pretty hard to use compared to longer range missiles, if you launch it at anyone paying even slight attention outside of 1km its gonna get flared every time, and its max range depending on aspect is around 2km and with name tags its gonna be hard to get easy kills on people not paying attention which honestly is a majority of kills in missile brs sometimes.
The advantage it has is it pulls hard off the rack and if you drain someone of energy in a dogfight and can get the seeker on them in basically gun kill range its pretty much a guarenteed kill if they arent preflaring it.

so I test it the R-60m using other aircraft about at the speed of 800km/h fire it at range of 0.6 it did got the flares however is too late the flares is too close to the aircraft causing it elevator damaged.
So i basically fly as low as possible?
No, because then the MTI mode wont work, if you want to use radar missiles you kinda have to stay in a dangerous position to make the radar even half worth it.
Realistically you also do not want to fly directly into the game, circle around either the right or left from your spawn, towards the enemies…
You want to come in at an off angle pointing down folks at about a 30 degree angle.
Ok and i also just heard about J out in the airfield you can change loadout and fuel?
That only works if you
- land , Repair and Re-arm-
- J out while not moving.
But the mig23 M can carry 4 x R60Ms and 2 X r23R so you dont really need to land and J out. I also take about 14 minutes of fuel , hwoever I do not afterburn the whole time.
Ok and about the Radar i used the button “4” for Locking target on radar for other aircraft it work very eaily however for every russian aircraft i tried i have to spam that button in order to lock it.
