Seems like a Kfir C.7(ish) but with a worse engine, +1 for me as it’d be an interesting addition!
Could easily sit at a BR of ~11.7 and would be a great addition to the Israeli Air TT!
Also I really love the blue camo on this thing, so sick

If they ever add it, I would like it to have as secondary camouflage the one used by the Pantera prototype with its characteristic decoration on the paint.

Here I found some rare photos of the Pantera in flight where you can clearly see the paint scheme from all angles.

Looking at this images makes me realize this plane has the early kfir canard/mirage 5 wing, wouldnt make much difference right now but if this plane was added a year ago it would wing rip less than a regular kfir

The wing design never contributed to how the wing ripping occurred ingame. The Kfir C.2/7 were and still are just able to pull a bit hard and some more G’s, allowing that to happen, they had the same wing overload limitations as some of the other Kfir/Mirage aircraft. It would still have happened to this aircraft if was allowed to pull those Gs, which knowing gaijin they probably would have allowed that given the new Canard configuration.

Before when I played with the Kfir the wings would tear very quickly, now even when turning quite a bit they hold up well, do you know what the G force limit is that the Mirage/Kfir wings can withstand?
The way wing ripping occurs was overhauled and changed by gaijin a while back. This is what buffed the Kfir, F-8C (F-8U-2), Ayit, F-104, AMX, etc. the exact values and such determining the strength of the wings in unknown to me, but they should be somewhere within the files.

This, the Cheetah, Mirage III NG and Mirage 50 EV are the planes I want the most. Great thread too btw
