Well tbf it's not too hard to beat those planes in dogfights as long as you play your cards right. The two things the mig23m has going for it is the really strong engine and great energy retention at 0 wing sweep. The f5c does NOT have very good engines and while it does hold it's energy, it gets drained very fast in vertical fights. Of course, the f5c can counter the vertical by just ditching out of the fight to run away and recouperate it's energy, and it leaves the mig23 high and dry for allies, but given a few moments the mig23 can quickly re-engage. The a-10 is a similar story and honestly you gotta be SUPER careful around them. Best bet is vertical fighting but the gun on the a-10 is just SO devastatingly good that a vertical is also a good way to get killed. Stalling the A10 without getting shot in the ass is a chore and a half
@@Null24 gun doesnt really matter, getting hit by almost anything at top tier is pretty devastating, its the aim 9ls that could maybe give you a little bit of trouble
and some U.S.A jet lovers comparing F-14 with this mig-23m...Pilot matters not the jet....btw you proved it well!
Its always baffling how those mig's think they can win a dogfight against my F-5 or god forbid A-10
Honestly this fight was a lot of fun and i did nearly win it I just lost focus on my fuel and dribbled the chances i had to cinch it
