I love the fact that flying sometimes has negatives like facing anti-aircraft defenses, but I do have one suggestion. Missiles need to be changed a little, make it so either 1 hit destroys them or make them slower so if we're moving at full speed we can easily outrun them. First time I had a missile launched at me and saw that I could target it I was like "cool", but the inability to destroy them before they hit is disappointing.

So 1 hit destroys them would be my choice, maybe with a high chance to dodge attacks, so you won't be able to destroy them all.
