I completely agree, the plane is good, in a downtier it’s relativerly easy to get at least one kill and kill 1 or 2 bases…
However it is still primarily a mig19 frame that is used to bomb bases, in a slight uptier you have competition on your own team for the bases that have better acceleration and slightly better toptier in the F4Es at 11.0, much better both in the Tornados with all aspect missiles in 11.3… and if you get uptiered to 11.7 which is quite common, you will be facing R24R… in a mig19 frame with 18 flares/chaff and two rear aspect missiles… very balanced

unfortunately there is a bug at the moment where the flares only drop 2 at once, this was fixed for the Q5A and Q5L but not for the a5c for some reason, but tbh 9 flares is still enough, the su22m3 has 6 drops at 11.0 and that thing does fine

ngl, the magic 1 is a very good missile, as long as its on a capable airframe, the a5c is not a capable airframe, per example, the magic 1s on the j7D go very hard

very true but the mig23ml should be 12.0

The magic 1 is the best missile of the BR to be clear for you, and it’s not ‘a majority’ that can’t catch you, it’s anyone that isn’t also flying in a straight line or having a height advantage over you. This is just from my past experience with it, and I’m probably thinking of the Q-5L, and when it was 10.3

A-5C is fine-ish premium if shameless J-7D weren’t undertiered.
No?

lmao show me where is that majority of planes that cant catch A5C at this br, list them.
you are contradicting your own words.
You dont have any chinese plane.
yes, on A5C at 10.7 it is useless.
WDYM, J-7D and Mirage IIIE also use Magic 1 as their main weaponry.
It is one of the best rear-aspect missiles.

J-7D and Mirage have the speed and turn rate to use it, a5c cant even get behind someone and catch up to fire it.
All the harriers, the F-8 crusader, the A-7 Corsair II, SU-25 and 25T/39, the hunter, the jaguar, the buccaneer, the list goes on if you’d like me to continue on to the rest of the tech trees, that’s only the first 4
Also not mentioning how popular and played these jets alone are compared to the rest in the BR range.

Oh, then what will you talk about these Jaaaaaags?
It is even slower than A-5C. :/
By the way, That arguing sounds similar to those A-10 gangs who thinks AIM-9L on A-10 is completely fine because it is slow ass plane When it was 10.0 and faced F-86 or other 1950s flareless jets..

I still think the A-10A early and late; and the Su-25 deserve to be bumped, especially the Su-25, it’s built like and tank, faster, and has more energy retention.
Yet again, I’ll ring true that this is a massive cope post.
On this you are wrong, Magic 1 compared to the R-60 is a world a head in maneuverability and exceleration and better range.
Also, yes, R-60 burns a second longer, it also has a way weaker engine

harrier is a specific plane meant to be subsonic
crusader - false, its actually faster.
A7 has good AAMs from all aspects and ground capability unlike A5C which has none, its also a rare vehicle (techtree version has guided bombs too but its ARB br is also too high)
Su25 is slower but superior in every other aspect
hunter isnt 10.7
jaguar is also a whole BR lower, the IS has matras 2 which have IRCCM
buccaneer has 9L, AGMs, guided bombs
your list and statement of “majority” doesnt hold up
Totally.
A-5C might having problem nowadays thanks to those MiG-23ML problems.
But, it is the compression problem, not A-5C’s problem.
Not to mention the lighter mass means the R-60 has much less potential after the motor burns out because it has less stored energy in its weight.

Idk if that aplys in WT ngl, for what i know is the other way around
Congrats, unless you have just turned, and he was pre-set to follow you while you RTB from bombing, he’s not catching up, especially at low altitude.
Down tiers and up tiers…
Congrats on ‘still more’ from other TT’s…

So, it is subsonic and slower than A-5C. innit?
False.
A-7 Corsair II are one of the worst overrated vehicles.
Only A-7K has all aspects missile, but it shares BR with Tonka.
While the other two have infinitely worse ones.
WTF are you talking about?
The majority of Jags are sharing the same 10.7BR with A-5C
