over powered mig 21

[Kaden]

What the is up with the mig 21 being supremely over powered? Not only the speed for the br, but also the missle is uses.

I hope you understand that there's currently 14 different MiG 21s in the game, none of which are considered OP.

Your post is vague and will prevent folks that know a lot about the subject that can provide helpful tips to combat an aircraft you seem to be having trouble dealing with.

What variant(s) are you referring to, BR range, and game mode?

Uhhh....

If you want to make a bait post, you have to be a bit more specific so people actually knows what you are trying to talk about, because there are like 12 Mig-21's in the game

Yes the MiG-21(S) is extremely OP, has been for years. No Gaijin wont fix it because it makes them money.

I am talking about the only supersonic 8.7 br mig 21 with better missles than any other plane of the br. Not to mention it is THE ONLY supersonic plane below 9.0 br.

Yes the MiG-21S (R-13-300). Its 9.0, but with the way arcade air works, the BR averaging brings it down to 8.7. Its been that way for years and no Gaijin wont change its BR, in fact It was originally a 9.7 and has gradually been lowered over the years.

Clearly this aircraft should be a 9.3 MINIMUM, but that's what makes a majority of premiums p2w. Perpetually being at a lower BR than it should be. My advice is don't go for head-ons unless you are confident in your dodging abilities and understanding the ballistics of the R-3R. Stay high and wait for the MiG-21S to approach a teammate, and dive on top of them as they try to climb away and regain altitude.

The only real way to kill these players is to 3rd party them when they are in a low energy state. Attempting to chase them, out-climb them or outrun them is a death sentence. Pull off and reset and keep a close eye on them if they go in for another pass, these Missiles CAN be dodged as long as you are aware. Keep your speed up, and begin to pull high G's in one direction around the 1.2km-900m mark and swiftly roll in the opposite direction as it begins to close distance and attempt to pull the same G's you are.

You will fail and make mistakes the first couple times, but once you get the timing down you will make the MiG-21S (R-13-300) pilot rage and often fire all of his missiles off on you while you dodge and weave easier and easier, due to now being in a close proximity and lower altitude, which makes sure his missiles cant pick up enough speed in the short distance, allowing dodging to become drastically easier than when he was cruising at mach speeds 2-3km above you.

the MiG-21 is OP when I use it. Does that count?
