Delta wing means you turn reasonably well especially at higher speeds but you will lose speed heaps. The missiles are decent but only for people at really short range or who aren’t paying attention as they don’t pull very much. Because you bleed speed a lot more than a mig or sabre it’s easy to get them to overshoot.

dont bring the missiles, only bring the minigun

#

the missiles are ONLY good for people who DO NOT move and even then ive had'em miss

#

you turn ok and have a great roll rate so you can dog fight somewhat well, but if youre in an energy fight youre probably gonna lose

Yes missiles for people who aren’t paying attention they’re also good for someone who is running away because you will force them to turn and dodge giving you time to catch back up to them

#

As someone forced to use the aim 9B at 10.7 you can still get kills you just have to be selective and use them smartly

9Bs are useful with minimal impact to performamce

Bring both minigun and missile

#

You cant rely on winning dogfights in the A-4E

#

You dont turn well (contrary to what the first guy said) enough and bleed speed a lot, but unlike a MiG 21 it takes a lot of time to regain the lost speed
