this plane is at 10.7 ARB and 10.0 GRB for absolutely no reason
its:
SLOW - basically subsonic, goes mach 1.0 when practically empty and only in a straight line, you wont even get to bomb a base because everything will be faster
doesnt turn AT ALL
has only 18 countermeasures
has probably the worst guns it could have, these 23mms are already hard to use when you have a fast and good turning plane, here they are just for display because you wont use them except maybe for ground targets (if you survive while flying to them)
has meh missiles and no anti ground armament (these unguided rockets deal no damage), matra magic looks good only on paper but at 10.7 its completely useless because everything here has flares and you wont be able to catch unexpecting players from behind because before you turn you wont ever be able to catch up unless its some A10/Su25 which will probably be killed before you even finish your turn
this plane is basically a printer for 0 score games both in ARB and GRB

magics are not meh missiles they are good missiles
youre argument of its bad because everything at that br has flares in silly because the that affects all missiles at that BR

they are meh at this br and on this plane especially
to use it you need to get behind someone and they have to be unaware which is practically impossible in a5c

honestly, skill issue
at 10.7 most planes have rear aspect missiles and the flight performance of the a5c is perfectly fine to use the magics

delusional XD
this magic is almost identical to R60 which you can find at 9.7 on a much better platform
youre the delusional one if you think that, the magic has significantly more range which is a big difference
I have a decent KD in the A5C while almost exclusively having bombed bases in the thing, its fine, good even

what range? this missile has practically identical range to r60, no sense in shooting it above 2km
you might have had a decent K/D before its BR was raised, now you surely dont.
A5C is a flying brick and nothing justifies its 10.7 BR
i didnt get it until it was 10.7
oh so you are delusional

sure mr no arguments
blocked
calling me mr no arguments is wild
me when someone on the warthunder forums wants to call a good plane bad and then ignore anyone who says it isnt bad

That’s a big negative ghost rider, if anything, it should go up for the sheer amount of flares and weapons it carries, when it’s in straight line supersonic, it’s not catchable by a majority of planes.
It’s a better SU-25 if you ask anyone, it can’t take a hit as much, but its missile is SO MUCH better. The magic is easily the best missiles in the game.

i agree ngl, this is basicaly a 9.3 airframe that has 18 bugged countermeasures (that drop on pairs), its heavy and slow compared to other aircraft at the br, the guns are bad, this is a problem with all q5s imo, the q5a and q5l should not be at 10.0
the only good thing about this plane is the magics, all else is bad

lmao what!?!?
sheer amount of flares and weapons? 18 flares and 2 aams? supersonic meaning literally 1.0 mach in straight line only without payload? not catchable by a majority of planes? XDD literally everything at this br other than a10 and su25 catches it
su25 is superior to a5c in everything but top speed
best missiles in the game? its a r60 brother XD
did you perhaps not touch the game for 2/3 years?

The R-60 is, really bad, what are you smoking, as soon as the rocket motor burns out, it has one good turn, and it’s done, the magic is so much better.
It can carry 2 napalms and bomb, as well as act as a fighter, and 18 flares is more than enough at this BR…

r60 has a whole second longer burn than magic, they really arent that different especially at this br where everything has flares
it can not act as a fighter AT ALL
Brother, a second, you realize that means nothing.

you literally claim that a5c is not catchable by a majority of planes, that it should go up and that magic 1 is the best missile in the game
literally delusional
