I did point it out 4 years ago. Like with the F-5 series I was told it wasn’t a bug. When new material was found I assisted the person who made the bug report that fixed the MiG-23’s.
Although I don’t see what the MiG-23 has to do with the F-5…?

If we want to go the full way with historical accuracy for the F-5C specifically:
CMs, RWR, and Sidewinder rails should be removed.
During the 1-month evaluation of the 12 F-5As used for Project Skoshi Tiger in 1965, I don’t think any were ever equipped with Sidewinder rails, due to primarily being used the CAS/strike role over South Vietnam. They did however have the wingtip fuel tanks.

Well, whatever ppl say Gaijin needs to consider people have paid for it, and it is rank VII so easier will be to just rename it to other model and all this crying will stop. There were so many variants produced and so many upgrades made this will make you feel better about the issue.
Dunno if F-5C in the current state of Air Realistic is so a huge problem considering F-104s and Mig-19s killing all subsonic with impunity
Or people asking to lower the BR of F-4S with 10 missiles and Aim-7Fs that have 8 of them to lower BR
And many many more that will be too long to mention.
Or just increase the temp of the F5C, making it less immune to IR missiles

+1, and fix the damage model

You know what the funniest thing is.
F-100D will out-perform F-5C whenever that happens.
F-100D is currently on-par to F-5C in dogfight performance.
Both of which are better than A-5C in dogfighting.
@Shin_Kazama
F-5A had sidewinder rails forever.
RWR is manual proven since audible only RWRs are a thing.
And CMs were proven a while ago.
All aircraft need a new damage model. After tanks and then helis next update. I’m hoping they do aircraft.
But yeah, they need to overhaul IR signatures as well

What the fuck are these takes lmao no the F-100 does not equal the F-5C in-game nor is the A-5C worse than the F-100. This take is so goofy I am honestly not sure if this is bait or actual cluelessness .

You mean the F-100D/A you never used.
Nor have you used the A-5C.
Out of the three you’ve used the F-5A/C.
Here’s my F-5A:
My A-5C:
And my two F-100s:
You can tell I used the 100D when I was new to fighters and it had a worse engine.
I dogfight in all three.
Well, not the F-5A anymore cause that’s utterly painful at 10.7, easily the worst airframe I’ve used at 10.7.
Mig-19S and F-100D/A are the F-5A/C but at a lower BR because they don’t have 9Es or flares.
[Tho I’ve stalemated F-16s using the Mig-19S.]
F-4S doesn’t have 10 missiles

If you know you know ( it’s the old F-4J buggo loadout if you were early enough to get it on release) )))))))
But thats only for the F-4J
True. I missed it by two hours. But yes you’re on point.
I am not sure on this claim so I could be wrong
EDIT: Tested out. Service Record indeed cannot distinguish the difference between an AI attacker and real player.
I’d take that K/D ratio with grain of salt since Service Record doesn’t distinguish between real players and AI attackers like A-4 and Yak-38
So you could have either racked up those attacker kills or those are real players. If it’s the latter, hats off for that in an F-100A. If not… I dunno.
Whatever the case, it’s not for me to judge
The same could be said about the F-5A.
But yeah, I targeted real players with F-100A cause it got an engine boost so I agrod everyone.
Engine is the same as on F-100Ds
Only difference is that F-100A is lighter (no flaps)
All the F-100s got their engines buffed right before I got the F-100A.
Made the decision to use it simple.
Those loadouts dont exist anymore, source, I had said loadout and it cleared itself when I tried to equip it a long while ago.
