??? If it doesnt have any, then its simply not compatible. There was not the option. Until that option was introduced on later model such as F-5E. Thats like saying,give pre MSIP F-15A flares,cause it was compatible with em. If it would be compatible with em,it would have em and never needed MSIP upgrade to begin with to get them.
All F-5A family of aircraft, that includes the F-5C, could be retrofitted with flares
That is the representation we see in game. A F-5C retrofitted with flares
I played the Chinese F-5A and got my teams dunked on too.
It happens.
I dont even have F-5C lmao. But i can clearly see that plane is broken. Together with its nearly non existant heat signature. I would love to see the flares getting removed so 10.3 planes get more breathing space. Considering there are only few planes at that BR carrying flares and F-5C can just outpull any missle it meet on that BR without having to use flares.
Thanks for proving my point my good old friend.
@TheMightySardine also my K/D ratio was much better then this in F-5C actually, i used a-lot on ground rb at 11.0 so it got lowered :)
Exactly,cause its sealclubbing plane, that barely have any competition and its staying at 10.3 only cause tons of noobs that have no idea what they are doing bought it.

If F-5C is broken, so is Mirage 3E, F-1, Jag GR1A/French, F-8E Crusader…
Just to name some aircraft that is in the same lane.
Mirage 3E is more powerful than F-5C from my experience BTW.

I mean thats a balancing suggestion. If you think a lower BR flareless jet would be better, thats a suggestion on can make.
But idk if that flight performance at a lower BR would be prefferable
Neither of these have such crazy energy retention or maneuverability tho.

If subsonic Ariete with no flares can be 9.3 and meet supersonic planes and all aspect missles all only because it turns well, i see no reason why F-5C with flares being basically better Ariete should stay at 10.3

Or people like you have no idea how to counter it so they basically calls F-5C as a sealclubber.
Mig21-MF-SMT,Mirage 3 family and smiliar planes can easily counter F-5C not to mention any competetive player will basically circle around F-5C cause they know once F-5C loose its speed its basically easy target.
You sound like you have massive skill issue buddy.
You mean high speed compression?
If I limit my AOA to that of F-5C in those aircraft, then I won’t lose speed.
The only reason F-5C doesn’t “lose speed” at above 1000kph is because it physically can’t pull AOA.
F-5C bleeds speed just as much as T-2 does the moment F-5 can actually pull as much AOA as T-2 can.
My f4 with skyflashes and aim9g had to fight f16s with 9m i don’t see your point
The F-5C couldn’t in so much as there were no F-5Cs left in existence by the time the ALE-40 dispenser was invented.

I mean supposedly the T-2 is a close comparison to F-5C in flight performance, but you get way better missiles without any flares. And that is at 9.7.
None of the deltas can sustain F-5C, they can one circle it, but sustain they bleed all their speed and become dead. MFs weak engine aint helping that either,SMT is better for that. But still,you get behind,launch R-60 or Magic,poof single flare,missle gone. So you get closer to kill it with your Gsh-23,guy flips round like mad, yay crit,hits,he lost wing, oh no he keeps flying and out turned me. I´ve seen F-5s eating 3 missles and flying without wing yet killing people, not only performance but the DM is also broken.

And this is why Warthunder ideally should have action keys to limit steering/control surface authority built into the keybinds.

So does my no radar missle no all aspect J-7 or F-4E, or as you said, my FG.1
Foreign F-5 models did used countermeasure systems, @AlvisWisla just proved with photo actually.
According to you it should loose its armament,IRST and countermeasure systems cause it was never armed with those.
Both planes are comptabile with Sparrows so why only Barak-II should loose it? Again Hypocracy.
Never used its service life so according to you it should loose it.
İts safe to say this is nothing but a hypocracy.
Foreign didnt had F-5C as Flame mentioned. By the time the CM dispenser was made,there were no F-5C. Yak-141 would have IRST,and all that if it had entered service, that things were designed and to be made. Israel never had any Sparrows,so why would Barak have em. As for GR.1, Gaijin only cares if you can mount it on it. As you see,they were mounted.
Oh no,Yak-141 with R-27
