JuliMonkey Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I just learned the mig 21. I know how to shoot and everything you need for combat. The big problem is how do i fight the f5e? I loose almost every fight. The lock on me be before i lock a missile on them. They see me before i see them. They often come from behind and boom i am dead. How should i fight the F5E?

Check your six more often Fly low and sneaky Use flaps in turns although you shouldn't really turnfight them, better stay fast or run away Take flares with you Use r60m Check your surounding and use zoom and awacs or gci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliMonkey Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 And what should i do when they are behind me? Ka 50 - MIG 21 - FW 190 D9 - SU 27 - F15 - F 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 evade and look for missiles... or run away but still look for missiles but to be honest, the experience against players will come over time. You can also try to dogfight against AI on higher skill levels if you want to practice first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadHabit Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Fly High and don't hide. F-5 is a rock in High Alts while mig is king, and that is without the compressor stall simulated yet! Use your R3R head on only. Make them fight your fight. Flying low and undeteced is the F-5's fight. IF you ever find trouble up high just dive and vanish they will never catch you. TIP: Protect your AWACS!!

JuliMonkey Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 When i go into a head on my radat often does not detect the enemy. This actually happens often that my radar just doesnt see planes or just at around 5 km but sometimes it works fine Ka 50 - MIG 21 - FW 190 D9 - SU 27 - F15 - F 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 personally, I rarely use the radar, especially because 5km can pass really quick and you have to maintain lock to hit and you give your position present to unaware tigers... I'm better in spotting planes visualy, and I'm also using sometimes when a long time noone apeared the AWACS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy93 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Keep in mind that the MiG 21 radar suffers from ground clutter when flying low (below 1500m iirc). There are filters to reduce this but the effect stays. If you plan on using your radar be aware of this. Also the radar only looks a few degrees below and about 20/30 degrees (not sure here) upwards. So you only see what is in front and above you. Never fly the same course for longer than 10 seconds I'd say.
