Mig-23 Wing Sweep

[Mizzar]

Hello im looking for advise, since the last nerf on the Mig23 i didnt played sim for a long time just because i had burn out of air then played ground for a long time.
Now im back at Air again for this event.
I stick at 11.0 sim battles.

How much % should i use on my Mig-23 wing sweep for a dogfight?
Because before the nerf i used to put it at 0 and turned extremely well and no one was able to out-turn me. Now since the nerf i struggle and can't turn well and its like the plane starts losing control. Yesterday a Mirage F1C outturned me 3 times (idk if thats the normal thing since i never dogfighted with these Mirages)

I just want advise from you guys, should i use it at 20%? Maybe 30%?

Or Mig-23 its not worth for turnfights anymore?

The primary nerf to the MiG-23 was essentially it increased drag when in a turn so it bleeds energy faster. You're not going to win a prolonged two-circle without breaking off to regain energy. You'll still perform well against a lot of aircraft in a one-circle, but you need to keep in mind that roleplaying as a Zero is no longer a default "I win" card.

I wouldn't worry too much about the wing sweep. If you're in a sustained turn, keep them fully out. When you need to regain energy, level out, and pull your wings in to snag as much energy as you can so you can re-commit to the turn.
