SU-11 or Mig 15

Hello everybody!
I’m novice in AIR, but thinking to buy some prem jet to get some new gaming experience in GRB. I’ve reached Soviet 8.0 (ground), so I’m choosing from Mig 15 (8.0) or SU 11 (7.3).
Mig 15 looks better, but 8.0 always play vs 9.0 or 8.7, so in every battle I’ll face Gepards and other strong AA.
SU 11 gives me possibility to go down to 7.3 and play mostly vs 7.7, but I found Object 906 good and dont want to play T44-100 anymore.

  • Is SU 11 playable in 8.0 lineup vs 8.7/9.0 ?
  • Are both of them suitable for newbie ?
  • if yes - which one is better for me ?

ARB is very boring for me, and start from zero and play ARB is not for me. I also want to play on PE 8 with mega bomb, so prem is only one way for me to touch AIR.

I dont whant to waste money as I did with Object 120, so I need your advice.
Thans in advance!

If you don’t want to face up better anti-air systems, Su-11 it’s the best option, as a newbie, while in air-to-air engagements speed and firepower is the best option, decent cannon to shred light armored ground vehicles and powerful enough to shoot down every airplane with few short burst, keep that in mind since ammo is something most sovietic airplanes don’t have spare.

MiG-15bis ISh do have somewhat better weapons and airframe in general when compared to the Su-11, better ordnances as well, meaning you have more damage capability for a few Golden Eagles more and higher battle rating. In a line-up made of battle rating 8.0 vehicles, Su-11 may struggle if you face systems like M247 and PGZ09, though I won’t say it will be impossible, in this case those two are the worst case scenario, you can work around these with no issues.

If you think that MiG-15bis ISh is way too high level for you it’s because it is, keep it low, buy something that you know that you’ll play and take advantage off, Su-11 may be the best option for you at this moment.

Thank you much for your answer.
Today I watched some videos and yes, SU 11 is much better for me, because to be honest I really don’t know how play vs M247 or others. So will wait Nov sale and hope to see a discount on SU 11.
Have a nice battles ! :)

SU-11 still sees overpowered SPAA, would go with MiG-15, significantly better and also a gateway to air if one day you decide to start it
