The A-5C should not and cannot be 10.7. Why? Dogass missiles, dogass preformance, and just enough bombs to bomb a base and be considered a strike fighter. And ngl It would still struggle even at 9.7-10.0. So then here’s the question: what on planet earth makes it 10.7?
Not with Magic 1’s its not

Take rockets and napalm, use half your rockets and 2 napalm on a base and you can kill 2, or you can napalm 1 base and then rocket pillboxes while you keep an eye out for distracted players to missile. It’s not the power house it used to be, but it’s still a decent grinder.
Imaging fighting that thing in a Saber or Mig-17 when it got a down tier… nightmare fuel

We just need decompression because it’s bad at 10.7, and would probably be too good at 10.3, especially since the missile-less Q-5s at the same BR.
Don’t diss magic ones like that

Supersonic with 2x Magic I = 10.0 (Mirage 3C)
Supersonic with 2x Magic I & Flares = 10.3 / 10.7 (Mirage 3E/S & Super Eterndard)
The lowest it could go is 10.3, but there was probably a reason for it to be 10.7. Most likely the fact its a good napalm runner
Some of the best rear-aspect IR Missiles in game, only really beaten by a handful of other rear-aspect IR missiles. Most of which are at a higher BR
1x Base kill is all you really need. Due to the deminishing returns mechanic. The ability to run more than 1x base kill of bombs is usually not really worth mentioning. At least my default on the Tonka that can run enough for 2x base kills is to just run enough for 1.

Calling R.550 Magic 1 a dogass missile sounds wild.
It is one of the solid options in the French air fleet in the 10BR radius.
Also, J-7D use it as the name of PL-7.
It seems like it’s not a missile problem to me.
Yes, this part might be true.
Nah, it is not. look at Mirage IIIC or Super etendard in 10.0.
or Q-5A/L in 10.0 Without missiles.
1- Dreadful and monstrous compression created by Gaijin, which only thinks about selling top-rank jets with ARH missiles.
2- existence of inferior strike jets like Q-5A/L in 10.0
Maybe 10.3 could sound fair if we really need a direct solution,
-Because J-7D has twice the amount (4) of R.550 compared to A-5C (2)
-and unlike Mirage IIIC/5F, it has good RWR and a small amount of countermeasures.
But no, not 9.7.
A-5C is infinitely better than Harrier GR.3 or Jaguar GR.1

Someone claimed it is a licensed copy version of R.550.
Some claimed it is a reverse-engineered version of R.550 obtained from Pakistan
But, well, all I know about that missile is
It acts just the same as R.550 Magic 1 in this game.
Somewhat similar to AIM-9J vs AIM-9P
or
AIM-9M vs AIM-9L(i)

Yeah, I doubt Gaijin would do anything more than change the name
Holy hell. 10.3-10.0 sure. 9.7? with flares and magic? and an actually working engine?
Chill dude.

It’s the same. Probably some Pakistani stuff laying around they nabbed and made a copy of. Shame that it doesn’t get PL-8B/5EII Seeker.
in ground battle clearly is to hight br only have dumb bomb and close range rockets…+ 18 flare…
Tbh, those things are overtiered a lot
