If we're going up against those bloody migs again next week we're gonna have to rethink our approach.
First we're gonna want full internal fuel, once we drop our tanks those sabres suck fuel pretty fast. Between combat and the long flight back we'll need it.
Second the extraordinary speed advantage they seem to have makes them very hard to deal with up high. We may need to sucker them down low to give some guys a chance to dive on them from considerable height. We can also use the ground defensively as they seem pretty timid down low and will sometimes execute a loop into the ground. Getting them to turn down low then extending might give us some head-on opportunities as well.
Maybe a gamey solution but I'm not sure how else we counter these guys.
