Just unlocked a flareless 9.3 plane. Every match in my stock plane is an up tier to 10.3 where the constant stream of mig 21’s, j35’s and AJ37 absolutely destroy my pitiful plane. What fun.

Unless you are low energy its really not hard to dodge those 10g missiles, and the only planes that have better missiles are subsonics you can avoid, until you can attack them from advantageous positions and just bully them to death.
Also if you have rocket pods, take the lightest ones you can and use them as dollar store flares if you really want.
Mig 21SMT is faster than me, has R60’s which are 30G missiles.
AJ37 is faster than me, has 20G missiles.
J35 is faster than me and has 20G missiles.
Mig 21MF is faster than me, has R60s with 30G pull.
Japanese F1 is faster than me, has 20G missiles.
Mirage 3 is faster than me, has 35G missiles.
Mirage 5 is faster than me, has 35G missiles.
That’s just the normal planes.
Then there’s the A10 and Su25 with All aspect 30G missiles. At least I can out energy those.
So please don’t pretend that it’s a fair match up if you’re constantly fighting those things. If I fly fast, they fly faster and catch me. If I try and fight they just missile me because the stock plane can’t turn without passing out and can’t roll either.

And a quick look reveals you have a KD of 0.31, 8 frags for 26 deaths, in the same plane so it’s not like you have some magic skill with it either.

Ya ive been getting a lot better recently and have a ton of planes with awful stats and I probably just bomed and died in them lol, but those planes you listed are basically all full uptiers, idk really know what planes don’t suffer from those.
I used to think it was BS fighting stuff with missiles on flareless jets but the majority of stuff you are fighting is gonna be 10g missiles you can just turn out of it you aren’t low energy.
What 9.3 are you playing su7? Mig19?

which plane? lightning?
Seeing as he’s not complaining about the AIM 9L spam, I’m assuming F-100D

it has to be german or russian he said I played it.
9.3 air is very fun, you jusg gotta not get into a position were anyone can shoot a missile at you, so dont be the first into the battle, once the initial furball/s develops swoop in and pick targets properly, then keep going straight though.
Always pay attention to the minimap, if anyone follows you out of the furball, run to your teammates
This actually applied to many BRs
But he’s complaining about MiG 21s at 9.3, that’s why I assumed he was playing against Russia. Oh wait, I forgot, Germany has a 10.3 MiG 21, they don’t get the MiG 21bis right away.
My guess is the mig19
It is the Mig-19PT. So far I’ve played 12 matches with it, 10 of them were full uptiers.
But it’s not just the soviets. I’ve passed that BR in UK, USA, Israel and France and it sucks in every single one. The gap between your planes and the uptier ones are just too big.

Use your flight performance and skill to avoid them getting on your tail.
Be with friendly aircraft.
You’re in a Mig-19PT, you out-dogfight all of those fighters.
9.3 ground and air is just a fucking joke these days.
Just plow through and never look back at it.
MiG-19 does fine because the only jets w/ good missiles that threaten it are the Su-25 with R-60ms and the A-10 with 9Ls. And with those you just need to stay out of their nose cone and get behind them.
MiG-19 in general is extremely good, learn it and it has no issues in uptiers.
Lol called it.
Mig 19 can hold energy way better than the mig21. Make them turn.

Either you master 109 way of energy trapping or dead in the water. no inbetween.
You must be the luckiest War Thunder player. You made it all the way to 9.3 to feel the pain of constant uptier suffering for the first time.
