I just notice the MiG-21 SPS-K was removed from steam shop and in game
You know that MiG-21 SPS-K german air force? That you to give up flares for just one gun? There's gotta a list of removed vehicles

And fandom wiki isn't going to help me there because THEY don't give me answer

You can still buy it by opening the online shop in game and buy it through the Gaijin store, that way you are able to pay in the gaijin store using your steam wallet

Oh yeah they did remove it. Didn't even realise that

I figure because even though it's a premium jet aircraft german nation. I don't think anyone would ever dare to use it and go with no flares or no guns, regardless of doing step by step

Takeoff
Shoot down enemy with missile
Survive while going back to the airfield
rearm/repair
takeoff
repeat

etc

Oh and also CAS

and here my idiocy decided "hmm what a great time to buy something with money after saving up"
They removes it from the store, as they did with the J35A, Milan, Israeli A-4E, and and a few others:
https://warthunder.com/en/news/8225-shop-may-sale-in-the-gaijin-store-en

The packs below will be removed from the store after the sale (on all platforms):

Dassault Milan Pack
Su-7BMK Pack
MiG-21 SPS-K Pack
T-2 Pack
A-4E IAF Pack
Draken Pack
The SPS-K is okay in a downtier, but it gets uptiered a lot lately. I can see this returning as a GE premium or for certain ocassions in the future.

Quite sad, it is an amazing aircraft in my opinion

It's probably gonna be replaced with something better.

The plane was honestly pretty ass in uptiers, which is the majority of it's matches.
I really didnt care that you could either have Flare/chaffs or gun pods, I mean, come on. Its a Mig-21 how bad could it be.

If you have flare/Chaffs. Don't dogfight, stay as a support fighter and shoot missile from long distance, hit and run, go back to base and rearm, repeat

Now gun pods??? If you can handle 15-20 G-limit missile coming at you and dodge them like you're in ace combat. Good luck

IMO it's not that hard to dodge 9.7BR missiles. You just hold do a tight corkscrew right as they're about to hit you, like what i did here (the dodging is at 0:38 and 1:01) https://youtu.be/uqQBzyx8vaI?si=PQhKa4uZPjmgbz2D&t=38. I don't usually bring flares with my SPS-K because all the missiles (unless you're in a full uptier) and easy to dodge. THe only time flares/chaff are needed in the SPS-K is when you're doing high alt fighting or BVR fighting. it just can't maneuver at high alts well enough to dodge ♥♥♥♥.
