Grind to next level of jets.
Missile use is more of a issue later when more jets have them.

Props have more acceleration/climb effectiveness (gain energy faster) at low speeds. However, jets have more acceleration at higher speeds. Keep your climb angle fairly shallow until you get to higher speed, then your acceleration will increase and you can climb at a higher angle. Also make sure to keep your speed up during fights, because if you get to low speed it takes a long time to get back up, especially bc at low jet tiers you can get superprops which obliterate you in low speed performance in pretty much every way

With the F80, don't worry about missiles yet, I don't think you get them even in full uptiers, though I could be wrong. Regardless, they shouldn't be too much of an issue until later

Play like a rat, go after AI aircraft, base, or Ground AI. If you're in a decent jet that can carry even with stock, then go after players.

Early jets have better energy retention than prop planes but are slower to accelerate, turnfighting in jets also results in a loss of energy, play it like a boom and zoomer until you get to later jets.

Fly the F80 like a p51 kind of. Its not like late stage jets they fly more like props. Just keep in mind that you don't want to be climbing as aggresively because your engine produces more thrust the faster you are. So getting to 500-600kph before climbing at the start isn't a bad idea. If you're less than 400kph in a jet its not going to end well for you as well.

7.0 is a fun BR for jet gameplay, rarely will you see missiles unless in a full uptier and it's pretty balanced.

Just keep your speed above 500kmh at all times unless you know you're safe and you'll be fine.
