The F-20 has better flight performance than all three of them, at least to my knowledge.
Either way the F-20 really shouldn’t go any lower imo, six AIM-9Ls is a lot of firepower especially considering you’re in a good airframe.
F-20A and Kfir C7 are twins in dogfight potential.
All F-20 does is accelerate faster.
Forgive me if I sound ignorant here, Israeli jets are not my forte as I do not focus on them as much as I probably should.
But doesn’t the F-20 carry an additional two missiles over the Kfir C.7? From my experience the Pythons are much easier to flare and evade compared to the AIM-9L which will happily ignore flares rear aspect if you don’t cut your afterburner off.
As far as I’m aware the Python uses the exact same seeker as the 9L in the files
F-20 cannot carry all 6 Limas along with the Sparrows. You’ll get 4 at most if you carry 1 Sparrow, and if you carry 2 Sparrows you only get 2 Limas.

Kfir C7 is also 11.3.
Anyone else notice that the F-20 is listed as Mach 2 capable and yet it seems like its rip speed as of right now (M 1.75 @ 11-12km ALT) was lazily copied over from the F-5E? Some pretty lazy flight model work…

Submit a bug report I guess
We were at 10km where air is significantly thinner. And yes in that situation where we were, the r-27et would absolutely catch that guy.
Similar stuff with SU-25 happens, at high altitude you get speed warning at 500 kmh ias and rip your wings lmao
I did, and it was immediately closed by a rude moderator. :(
I’ve never submitted one before, so I would assume a reason was given? Did you provide enough proof and evidence?
I’m by no means attacking anyone but I just need to vent for a sec about this lol:
I provided evidence from my own generic testing via the screenshots taken in-game shown, but I did not provide any secondary source evidence (excluding the Gaijin store), and shouldn’t need to ONLY IN A SPECIFIC CASE LIKE THIS in which quite literally just about every available source on the internet agrees with the Mach 2 limit. A top speed of 2200 km/h is listed on both the IN-GAME STAT CARD AND ON THE WAR THUNDER STORE DESCRIPTION AS SHOWN. Evidently, the F-20’s flight model (and possibly other aspects of the Tigershark) is far from finished and it makes me angry that such a rushed and unfinished product is somehow worth $75.00… When solely considering the flight models of both the F-5E and F-20A, from what I have noticed thus far, the F-20 simply has a substantially improved thrust to weight ratio but behaves pretty much identically to it’s predecessor in its current state. So I assume the F-20’s FM in-game was developed in whole or in part by copy-paste work. The community deserves better! :(

The War Thunder Equivalent to Twi…“X”…
6 9Ls at 11.0 doesnt sound fun
Gaijin has said that the Mirage 2000C is moving up. Unlike the M2KC, the F-20 has an MPRF radar and is better suited for BVR for that reason. And the F-20 has an option to carry 6x AIM-9L. Further, the F-20 Tigershark has a legitimate multi-role loadout for ground RB unlike the M2KC.
So when you take into the totality of the two comparisons, both belong at 12.0.
6.3 if u can get 1 kill if not drop it more…
6x AIM9-Ls < 6x R-60M.
6x AIM9-Ls < 6x Matra Magic 2s
11.0 Justified
it is not.
it is, but only the mirage 2000-5f and the 4k can actually carry more than 2 magic 2

Are you trolling or are you on some shrooms?
R-60M is literally garbage.
