Its easy, the version we have in LOMAC is like one of the "olders" not an upgraded one ;)
Just learn to fly the flanker properly and you can own the world with onlt semi-active missiles and a little help of the R27ET ... I do and what you have to learn is better deffensive tactics and how to go offensive really fast and very agressively ...
If you cant deal with the challenge i suggest you to get in a MIG-29S (not a bad comment for thee 29 drivers ;)) so you can have R-77s ...
