if j7e is 11.3 it should be 11.3 aswell
I’m fine with that too I guess
The J-7E is considerably better in several ways, so the J-7D should be 11.0.
The J-7D shouldn’t be 11.3 when it’s at best on par with a Mig-21bis.
PL-7s are very good at close ranges, and it’s the one area they beat the Pl-5B in.

it is better in dogfights, but missile wise it is the same… and the 60 shots you get in the j7e arent that forgiving…
If I remember correctly the pl7 can pull 5G more but has less acceleration…
The PL-7 is significantly better at turning, it’s the rear aspect version of the R-73. Both the PL-7 and PL-5B have their own usages, that’s why I carry 2 of both.

isn’t it a reverse engineered Magic 1?

the pl5b has more range, so I would choose this missile, but both missiles acceleration do have a good acceleration. and you should compare it to the magic1 bc it has the same stats and does not have thrust vectoring
The PL-7 is quite literally a Magic 1, but it has the best turn performance of rear aspect IR missiles. Which is why I compared it to the R-73 as that has the best turn performance of the IRCCM missiles.
The F5 is under tiered with its current performance, which is overperforming based some pretty inaccurate soviet observations. Its also too cold to you cant IR lock it until you’re super close which is flat out wrong
Extremely helpful post which explains why:
All F-5 fighter overperform remarkably and needs to be nerfed

No don’t feel bad you should be pretty evenly matched against the F-5 in more regards but the F-5 over performs quite a lot.
it is overperforming due to its bs flightmodel, but you cant put it higher, bc it has not the armament. most kills happen with the gun and most of the gun kills are won headons…

Nerf it and put it down a little.
fix the flight model and it wont need to go up in BR
would be the best solution for it tbh…

More accurate plane and fixes the balance issue. Win win
it would remove the op thing and it would be good for the br…
early f5´s are probably the vehicles I perform the best(behind j7e) at rank7…
here my stats(isnt that telling bc (mig23mf was meta back then, the f104 was played before they canged the radar, and the f4ej was played before the br decompression…, so take them with a grain of salt)

I perform best in the mk24 spit as it’s the best of its BR by a similarly large margin.
Which website was this stat sheet from I forgot the name
I dislike this br range, but playing the j6k1(prob the 2nd best prop after the spitfire) in a downtier(5.7-6.7) is nice.
The website where you can check your stats is called statshark.

It’s somewhat debatable.
While the PL-7 does get 35G maximum G-overload (instead of 30G with the PL-5B), the PL-5B actually has a quicker proxy activation time, and a larger proximity range, so it will more likely hit the intended target.
PL-7 is generally better for 2-circles, while PL-5B is better for everything else.
