Grinding CAS at 11.0 is hell

I just bought the MiG-27K because it was on sale and holy shit is it cancer to grind. Stock jets are terrible but this one in particular has no advantage to press over a tomcat. It felt fine fighting phantoms, I was at a disadvantage but not screwed. But there is no way to touch a Tomcat. It’s faster, turns better and has better weapons. There is no situation I can put a tomcat in in which it loses.
