if you keep full afterburner without turning i can guaranty you that the missile will hit.
so i’ve played the thai F5 to test the FM and out of the 6 kill i’ve made in 2 game 4 are gun kill, 2 mig 21 in a dogfight, a F4 fleeing at 700 meter and another F4, so yeah FM pretty good, 20mm are actually busted, insane velocity + really good ammo capacity. and i was almost stock btw.

No flaps:
Combat flaps:
No flaps high speed:
Combat flaps high speed:
J-35XS: This really hates trim settings outside of high-speed. It also hates the HOTAS for no reason.
And air RB rate:
Of course, it’s possible to bring less fuel for both aircraft.
Spain especially will have people bring minimal fuel. Now this I haven’t tested until today because the last time I tested was in consideration of large maps where F-5C players bring 30 minutes to start, and J35 players bring ~16+ drop tanks to start.
The conclusion is the smaller the map the more of a threat F-5C is, the larger the map the less of a threat F-5C is.
And my previous conclusion prior to this one was based on large maps, not accounting for Afghanistan and Spain.
So use this post as my current conclusion.
Imagine someone doing that…if u dont cut off your burner and dont turn why shouldn’t a missile hit you exactly?
Im not saying it shouldn’t hit you… im saying that you need to cut off your after burner and turn to evade a missile meaning that you will be loosing speed and allow your opponent to catch on you…

F-5C rates better than J35XS and doesnt goes stall speed after half a turn

If only this was a russian plane, it would be 9,7.
disagree, just because it costs real money it doesnt deserve to be undertiered, sorry but thats the definition of p2w
They can work on other aspects of the plane, but letting it slam 9.7s for multiple months now in hopes of selling more is not the solution.
No?
The Mig-21SMT is worse at the same BR (10.7).

self inflicted issue
The F-5E is higher
Sire. I hope you read that post twice.
I claimed that all three jets (J-7D, F-5C, J35XS) shouldn’t be 10.7BR.
Then F-5C owners will complain about weaker engines and older missiles compared to F-5E.
So, F-5E also should be moved higher than currently.
If we keep moving everything higher, that is how decompressing BR works.

I never said so, I was speaking simply from a financial perspective here. Given how bad the XS’s FM is, I dont paticulaely think it will be much of a problem, though.
overstated issue, J35XS FM is not that bad at all
As someone who has done an absolute shitton of research on that plane - yes it is.
But I can just pop 1 flare shut burner off for .5 secs and fly straight too…then I dont bleed speed and you dont catch me something you can do with an A -5 …
yes the thai F-5 is good it is also not comparable to the F-5C for several reasons I will let you guess what those reasons are…
