“Whhaaaaaaaa noooooooo you can’t make valid arguments because I said sooo whaaaaa”
I knew you weren’t worth engaging with when you said the F-5C should be 10.0, if you cannot argue a point without complaining about the person you are arguing against you shouldn’t be arguing at all.
This is done, have a nice day.
Sorry I forgot the one strike fighter that gets worse missiles I cant apologize enough for my act of disinformation you should get a job from Gaijin so you can fact check for us…anyways mate I ment to say F-5C dosent need a br reduction but its not god mode when you play it nowadays and it should have missiles that work for its Fighter role …9E’s pretty terrible 10 g pull is pretty lackluster and I dont think a small upgrade is unwarranted considering the other nations F-5A gets 9J’s and flares at exact same br for free so Im fine with the 5C getting 9D’s
this is untrue its guns are its best feature along with its FM ( except its acceleration and top speed)
The 9Ds would be extra ahistorical, it already has flares that aren’t real and literally could not be
and your point …you say this as im flying an F-16 in japan…
Did I say I was ok with the F-16AJ?
The AIM-9D was not used by the Air Force and is incompatible with their launcher rails, it literally could not have physically happened
Maybe reread everything. There is plenty enough reasons why the F-5C is overtiered…
You just seem to be extremely narrow minded and dont have any experience to talk about this topic. Also I said that Gaijin need to extend the BR´s for a useful change, but u seem to completely ignore it.
When looking at your player card you are a really bad pilot… therefore not a singel argument from you has some weight.
I’m regretting not buying it now on sale ngl lmao
well the F-5c didnt had Aim9D. take a look at my Message. There are all Sidewinders listet
Same. I already have experience with the Mig-21bis, and I could’ve flown a near copy at 10.7. Only tradeoff is no all aspects, and fewer missiles. But the missiles are better than R-60s, which are found on the Mig-21MF and SMT.
I blame all the people base bombing in one.
yeah, I just didn’t buy it since I already had the J7E, but if it stays 10.7 somehow I might be convinced
They seemed to be doing quite well in matches when I saw them so I’m unsure as to why it went down.
j35xs going to 10.7 is criminal, its now effectively a lower BR than release. Yes the flight model got gutted but still bs. Something something premium bias (same goes for the j7d ofc), or maybe the amraam viggen isnt selling good enough.
Could have given the j35 double the flare count instead to keep it at 11.0, historical accuracy isnt consistent for premium vehicles anyways :)
XS, no, not unless they fix its FM.
I personally don’t think 6 AIM-9Ps should be at such a low BR but the XS is a hard to balance plane in the first place because of its issues
I tried playing 35xs a bit today to see how it was with the new br and it seemed to mostly get sucked into 10.7-11.3 ganes at the time, for me, my servers, and my current time at least
It feels fine atm even in those, but if more than 1 person at a time notices you your kinda dead, especially if slow (Which you will probably be since I think this is the fastest speed bleed I’ve ever seen on any plane I’ve ever played in this game, even when trying to neg g and wide turn to conserve some of it)
They are real, and have been real.
The F-5C was withdrawn from service in 1966. The AN/ALE-40 flare dispensers it has in game didn’t exist until the 1970s. Ergo the F-5C can’t have used them in real life.
Remove its flares and then put it at 10.0 with the rest of the flareless vehicles then I guess is best option thank for your helpfull factcheck
Eh, with current dogshit FM its fine at 10.7, but imo they need to fix its FM, give it its falcons (RB 27 and RB 28), then move it up.
As for this… no. What I would support is giving it the Kapsel KB / BOZ-100 countermeasure pod the S35E mounted, though. It was at least mounted to a draken, and would be the best option. (If added to the XS, it should also be added to the J35D and all future drakens.)
The F-5C didn’t simply disappear… It was handed over to Vietnam for further use in the war.
Hell… This picture was taken in 1971.
The date that it was removed from its original squadron is irrelevant.
What is relevant though is that the F-5A has been using AN/ALE-40 countermeasure pods ever since the 1980s.
The F-5C was a 1-off upgrade that was given to one squadron of aircraft with little to no documentation, the only substantiation of such being very few images with a history that seemed to have terminated in 1975 or so.
The only existing models of “F-5C” are F-5As painted in the original livery that the F-5C used. Apart from that, they seemingly never lived to the age to even think about receiving countermeasures… But do you know what did?
Oh right, these! The exact same airframe (save the obvious lack of a jettison capability and refueling hardware) that had existed fiftyfold in other various nations!
Funny enough, I spot a trend in them.
This conversation has been started and ended before you even had a War Thunder account… Believe me when I say that you aren’t going to cherry pick your way out of this.
