You never explained why, so I don’t think anyone, would have a reason that the Kifir Canard would be worse.
This is not really true, Pl-5B are stil more deadly, it weighs a ton less, turns more than all the other MiG-21s that aren’t J-7E.

From the littke testing i did with XS/ kfir. Xs Turns faster, easier to get nose on target, doesnt have the umcontrolable rudder… slower kfir gets the easier the XS wins.
J7d might turn better at slow speed but hows that going to help the flying airbrake …when it takes so.much lomger to accelerate than the BIS?
J7D is great just not on BIS level
PL5s are so overrated BTW. They are good but still are One popped like any other missile
It has a higher turn rate at all speeds
When not used correctly

Explain how?
It’s compression as I already said. It’s strictly better than the earlier Mirages. It can’t be the same BRs.
That’s unfortunate because it still needs to go up. NF-5A regardless of anything you or anyone else says needs to be 11.0 currently as minimum its a F-5E equivalent. They need to go to at least 11.3 long term though because they are massive roadblocks to every 10.0-11.0 aircraft as none of these aircraft can compete with them.
Yes… decompression. Other things will go up to allow for it. Even if decompression doesn’t happen, these jets would still be good enough to survive with their supremely good FM and soft characteristics such as IR signature.
Explain how?
So simply don’t get slow with the J35 when flying the Kfir? Play energy?
J-7D has better missiles for BnZ attacks and turns better for dogfights… so where exactly is the 21bis better?
So they get 1 popped like R-60M, but also have 4x the range, have a 2 second burn time (shortest of pretty much any IR missile) so they don’t get seen/detected, and have supremely strong acceleration/top speed AND still gets good 30g agility, but somehow these are overrated?
Still ignoring the question. What makes the kfir deserve the 11.0? You can boom and zoom the XS the same way a f104 could…bout it.
BIS power >
Acceleration is massive when you lose so much energy when you turn…
Lots of times iv been vs a BIS in a J7D and the BIS doesnt stick the fight and just leaves the J7D behind.
BIS in uptier vs phantoms etc is great. R60s all aspect and ignore flares of many uptiered jets make it an ez time at all BRs. Used to hate r60s but theres alot of sneaky angles that work great. 6 missiles over the 4 too. The radar missile is also useful.
The J7Ds missiles are better at dunking at range on unaware enemys and from close range vs noobs as they just flare and dont pull…
All mig21 / J7 BRs are good IMO. They can all.go up but at the same time if decompression ever comes
No, I told you. BR compression. It’s strictly better then earlier mirages. Putting Kfir down means those have to go down, those going down means subsonic flareless jets suffer, more.
No? You can energy trap it.
Missiles>>>
R-60s do not ignore flares.
PL-5B is quite literally STRICTLY better than R-60.
The community and myself disagree with you.
you know the mig25 with radar missile fight against them
what makes the kfir canard 11.0?
like the speed? maybe dorito wings? or mybe even the artment?
what makes it 11.0?
for me its pretty good plane but i played less 1000 games with him maybe 300 so i still a “noob”
F4c has exactly no counterplay to an r40td
I do agree with you
Because I also have a friend who mains one nation
MiG-25 does not fight subsonics without flares
Absolutly nothing.
No redeeming quality
Faster, better FMs, better missiles all exist at same or even lower BRs.
Kfir gets slapped by j35xs/ anything really. Has no RWR vs ruski missile spam- Which is just salt in the wound.
Its the worst experience in the game bar none that iv played …and uv gotta pay ££££ for it
Could easily be at 10.3 and still.not be the best at the BR…
5.7 Jumbo is the 75mm gun, and it abysmally lackluster against 90% of the enemies it goes against, the 75 jumbo could easily go down to 5.0 while the 76 jumbo goes to 5.7
This is just untrue.
It has much better flight performance, better missiles, more CMs, but it only has 2 missiles.
Does it tho? Me and a friend tested (not a hill id die on ) and the XS won every time, no matter the pilot.
Kfir is faster but has Wobbly rudder aim and becomes worse the slower it gets. XS snappier, feels smoother/ pulls better at all/ most speeds = win.
The Kfir can just stay faster and use it’s absurdly better P/W ratio to accelerate away and drain the draken of all energy.
The Drakens usually have one or two good pulls in them and after that they have lost so much speed that many other airplanes will win after that because the drakens aren’t that good at energy retention.
From my experience, the XS can win DF vs most other jets around its BR …other than jets with f5 levels of rating- even then the XS has chances. I like it 1 vs 1, anymore tho and its dead real fast. Id take it in a 10.0- 11.0 game over the abomination for sure.
Kfir to 10.7 would do. At 11.0 its just a dead jet
