SAAB 105G having airspawn with missles

[TheOneAndOnlyIvan1917]

really gaijin? just trying to grind out some bombers/ attackers and i gotta deal with missile slinging derps that get an airspawn...

I have the SAAB 105G and it's glass cannon, it's AA missiles are easily out turned and can only lock reliably from the rear or facing any kind of engine exhaust, and on the topic of AA it has no counter-measures at all to speak of.
The rockets are mid at best and it doesn't even have any built in guns meaning you need to use the Akan 30mm module cannons, of which have no option for tracers so it's ridiculously hard to shoot down enemy planes using them if you have no experience.. It doesn't even have combat flaps and it's turning it already pretty slow and it bleeds tons of energy and doesn't accelerate really fast, the bombs are the only redeeming quality.

tl;dr - skill issue

people easily complain about stuff they have no clue about...that's nothing new.

Reminds me back in 2006, when everybody complained how OP the rogue was in WoW. SO I levelled a rogue, learned to play it and then, when I went back to my caster class, I destroyed rogues like there's no tomorrow.

But as said, it's just easier to complain instead of learning how to do it right. It's the same with the CAS complainers...

...so...sorry to say it, OP, but this is sadly 100% a skill issue.

the fact its an airspawn with a missile is the issue. Im trying to grind out my IL-28 and if i get any sort of uptier and face sweden i get smacked by SAAbs, even at 13k ft. and i dont want to hear anything about "oh its a glass cannon" there are no countermeasures at 8.0 its annoying.

here it is: this plane has Aim9B, the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ missile ingame.here are 2 things you can do:

-look around for enemy missiles (situational awareness), they have a big idicator, even in air RB.

- when missile is shot at you, turn. pretty much any plane can out-turn an Aim9B, no need for counter-measures.

in the end of the day, there are things you can do as a player to avoid it, but you dont know/do them, hence the "skill issue" comment from people.
but I agree they could take the time to explain.

I grinded out my IL-28's (all 3 of them) without this issue. I might have been downed once or twice by Saab's, but mostly by cannon-jets.
