…hardly, IMO, but kinda, yep!
Depends on whether it’s an uptier or a downtier. Compression issue. F-15s going down to 12.7 just made things even worse for it…

Im ignoring the terrible state of compression at that BR entirely. That alone it should be lower.
But:
Magic II great missile, the SARH is a trash missile and the missile count is limited
CM count is amazing but the RWR and radar is weak
FM I have no complaints and no real praises either.
It just balances out at being “fine”.

Iirc the gunpods on it used to be bugged and had no weight / drag, which is why they were occasionally brought up on the plane. But yeah they’ve been fixed for a long time and really arent worth much now.

Able to comment on this?
Seems like they may still be bugged
I actually havent had that many uptiers in it, you get sucked into 11.7 all the time.
I disagree. I think the Mig 23ML is pretty good after you learn how to play it. I carry two napalm and two R24R’s. I go straight for the base first and then shoot down (or try) two aircraft. It’s not even that difficult to shoot down the f-18 when you’re uptiered. I usually fly up to around 20,000 ft and catch somebody coming at me head on… Especially if I have an all missile loadout and no napalm. I think the biggest downfall of the mig-23 is if you don’t watch your speed, you rip the wings off pretty easily.
