Very bad experience with J-35XS

Seriously is this plane supposed to be that bad? I never had that bad of a time playing a “OP” aircraft. 6x Aim-9P against flareless planes!!! So OP!!! On paper that is. It NEVER gets downtiered. It always face J-7D, F-5, and other planes it cannot compete against. Even 10.0 hunter can run circles around it.

I have a ok time with MiG-21BIS and F-5 in the Swedish tree, as well as A32A, but not the J35XS.

It just uses up so much energy each turn and the plane barely allows for pre flaring. By the time I turn towards a target he knows I am there, or I don’t have enough speed to catch him, and Aim-9P are just not suitable for dogfighting in a way Magic are.

And for high speed it turns extremely slow, needing a slow down. But what is the point? Delta wing + slow speed is a death sentence.

at some point I would start questioning if it’s the planes that are bad since you seem to have a problem with like every single one
