This can be overcome with plans, leveling up, and skills, but I feel it is worth mentioning. That setup of yours is very capable if you use it right.

That particular plane I think I've maximized the use of for the level it's at. Plus, Adv. Mobile Fin L and Propulsion L for standard missiles really helps with hitting aerial targets at tough angles, which a lot of the time is a last ditch effort to get an S rank.

I find anything that has a strong ground weapon with good maneuverability and speed is the best plane to use for any match and is a good thing to have during tournaments. GPBs, while not large in explosive area, can two-hit the toughest red-level ground targets most of the time, LAGM/LASM gives you a distance advantage and high damage, FAEBs are great for wiping out large areas of smaller ground targets, etc. etc.

I recommend using an aircraft with these attributes and weaponry for even non-tournament time periods but ESPECIALLY during tournaments. I've gotten MVP almost every time. Including with my level 6 F-35B Taurus on one of my other accounts.
