i want to ask the balancer what i can do on my shahak that is flarless aginst the mig25pd or any aircraft at 10.3+ with IR missile???
I only played the French Mirage IIIC, but I’ll try my best to help you because other than the missiles the planes are pretty much the same iirc.
First off, against planes that have ir missiles:
- If the plane is slow (Su-25 or A-10) do your best to not have them on your 6 at close range. Keep an eye on them, take them down from behind or above.
- If the plane is faster than you (MiG-25, F-5… ) then start praying.
Then, against MiG-25:
Fly low and hope for the best. They usually fly out of visual range so you rarely see them coming.
Something I find important to add is about headons. Don’t try to headon planes with superior missiles. Trying this strategy on russian 10.x planes is especially deadly. When they try to headon you, play defensively and try to get behind them, because a headon will result in mutual death in the best case.
Overall, your best hope in uptiers is to outskill your opps. This br is full of undertiered premiums, but those are almost always played by incredibly clueless wallet warriors who will do trivial mistakes. Punish those mistakes as much as you can, your airframe is potent when well used.
you can see my stats and you will understand how much “skill” i have spoiler not much
also what will i do when i low just some guy will fire IR missile and i am dead cuz i dont have flaers
Don’t worry I’m not very good either, I only achieve around 1.2 k/d usually, but that’s still above average and enough to crush most noobs
If you’re low on energy and someone fires a good missile at you, you’re most certainly dead (dodging can sometimes be achieved but it’s pretty much gambling). You’ll have to keep that in mind when play these planes, they bleed badly and their agility depends entirely on their speed, so make sure to never get slow.
This is especially a problem when facing several enemies at once, as evading a missile will cost you energy which prevents you from dodging forever. For that reason, it’s best to avoid these 1v3+ and try to take on enemies one at a time
If you see russian enemy playing BRs 10- 11.0 just spawn runway and J-out.
Its even worse now they are all on the same team so have no enemies that can kill it.
I don’t do that anymore, at least not in my Mirage IIIC, because now I know better than before how to handle these. Sure it’s rather unbalanced, but you can still do something in these battles if you play the right way. It’s insane the amount of 10.3-11.0 planes I’ve blown out of the sky simply because they were target-fixated or just blind and deaf.
And the satisfaction when you take one of them down, is everything.
I dont J-out either, I just stopped playing airRB. Playing anything at BRs that can face mig 25 plays out the same- few players left vs jets you cant catch, trying to end game on tickets. Il pass
