The A-4 in general doesn't.
I had quite fun with the A-4H but the A-4E early when you don't have missiles or anything is just pain. It has worse engine which does output I think 3200 kgf so your acceleration is non existent (with he A-4H I could outrun a MiG-15/17 now I can't) the Ayit fixes it because it has even stronger engine than A-4H.

As well as the uptieres when I meet F-100D, MiG-21s, MiG-23s, F-104s and other afterburning planes that can't go supersonic

(I don't know what to do about them, how to counter them)

Even better missiles you can flare

#

Example Swiss Hunter has 9Js

#

At 9.7 those can be flared easy

Yes that is true you have good defense but offense is lacking

Thing about the Skyhawks is that they are Delta wings and you will lose alot of speed in turns or maneuvers

#

The lower speed you are the easier it is for something else to pick you off in a full rate fight

#

such as a MiG-15bis or Sabre

#

The guns are also kinda pointed downwards so aiming is crucial unless you prefer the gunpod which affects your overall performance
