Question: Aim-9JULI or Magic II. Which missile promises the better advantage in air combat?

The Magic 2 is arguably the better missile but takes three seconds to come off the rail. JULI is good but will launch in one second.

I had the feeling, the JULI is a tad more flare resistant than the Magic II (and 2 seconds off the rail quicker, that is a lifetime in a dogfight), hence I like the JULI better atm.

Though, the Magic II is more maneuverable, with improving skills on the F1, I should choose it more often.
Actually, I don't know which has the greater range.

I will use the JULI first if it’s available on the server I’m on. I’m in the same camp with the launch window being quicker.

I have to say, I also like to use it operator (livery) accurate, at least to some extend.

Flying with a French skin, I always use Magics.
If I fly Spanish or Greek, I use JULI's, J's or P's, mostly JULIs though of course. The AI is cheating as well...

Couln't use an AIM-9 on a French skin...
