I have started flying the Fishbed against better opossition and I feel my tactics are not good enough to fight against american fighters. Keeping apart which fighter are the best, can someone help to improve my tactics flying the Fishbed please? Only non-R60 Fishbeds please. I have to say that I fly without red boxes or enemy info, but padlock is activated.
What I do. Detect the target with the help of CGI, and win at least 3000ft of heigh advantage. When we merge try to chase the tail of one of the bastards, get really close being in AB all the time and hit it with cannons, try to find the enemy that's chasing the other pair of my flight and repeat. If I'm lucky I can get one, or two (If extremely lucky), then I have to disengage to return to base.
But can this be improved somehow? The early Atolls can't hit anything ( they are even worse than AIM-9B I think, when they should be the same missile, right?), so is me and my gun most of the time.
Will be nice If someone can add his pexperiences. Thanks.
Not tried it against Phantoms yet, that scares me a lot!!
