A-10A easily turns inside F-5s, and AV-8C has won dozens of headons. F-5s are SL pinatas with thighs to me, and nothing more.
Woow, you won a few headons. Must make it a superior plane then?
And it takes a F-5C player with negative IQ to lose a fight with a A-10.
Them being better fighters is actually the dumbest takes i’ve seen in a long, long time.
Good job
The F-5E FCU is very potent, especially in Sim EC, even for me who rarely flies fighters:
What’s particularly noteworthy here is that the majority of those 33 deaths are TK’s. I had streaks where I shot down I think 35 enemy planes without a single loss of my own FCU caused by the enemy.
Important: Keep your radar off at all times (except gunfights against enemies that already spotted you), as it has no look-down capability and no IFF, and use SA and RWR to find targets. You operate at a BR range where most rely on their RWR for defense, not actually using radar then makes you very dangerous.
Stay low, stay stealthy, use landscape, then pounce when in range. Just like a real Tiger, actually, come to think of it…

almost as if there was a reason why the Manufacturer country didn’t use many of them
It was a good reason, it was meant to be a low-cost export fighter
I can agree. The F-5 can catch a lot of things I never thought, F4s, Mig-23, etc.
They’re especially deadly in Sim, the only true possibly “lacking one” is the F-5A, which has no SAS modes, which makes it hell to fly in sim.
For once, we both agree.
The YaK-38 is just free food for it.
Bro really let a subsonic turn with him and fail. Why don’t you just , you know , run and regain your position ? Or are you afraid that A-10A can catch you if you do so ?

F5C is still crazy good idk what you mean id argue better than the F5E br for br. Especially since youre dodging F4S drones in the F5C, its still very fun to play.

its crazy good at gunfights when it gets to fight 9.7 to 11.0 br after that its not so good…try an actual F-5C out at 11.7 br not an F-5E or FCU both of which are better in every way ( Thrust difference is bigger than most want to believe) yes everything can suk in a downtier…
A model is kinda stinky
Sorry that reply was meant for Shindee mate not telling you to play something you have lol pls forgib
I mean your talking Sim and all…pls take the Skoshi into the normal 11.7 br it see in RB …I just played a EC map this morning by the time my team merged with enemy I was 14 km behind them…Skoshi felt a little slow for that matchup and guess what happened when I got 6 km away my ENTIRE team but one MiG 23 player who was bombing far off bases was dead… Not one single player died to guns all high g full aspect missile kills… Now I just looked at that 12 vs 2 matchup vs vehicles way faster with better weapons and I didnt even bother I flew back to base in disgust of the match and J out . Total wuss out it felt like but my god that was a just free kill mode I didnt even want to play
Yea I wonder why they shifted from an Intercept and Merge doctrine to BVR and Energy fights in vehicles that turn so hard at fast speeds your ribs can break with weapons that can shoot at you from 10+km
I hate to be an a-hole here but this is clearly a skill issue
Even I that am medium skilled player and have 1:1 KD while spading most stuff, can push F-5 to 2:1 easily.
Buy one then despite everyone here making it sound like I think the F-5C is terrible I dont think that at all its well worth the money but butthurt people that play Hunters at 9.7 shouldnt be the sole opinion on where its br sits…saying it belongs at 11.0 br because it can dogfight with its guns and has Flares is a ludicrous Idea just like last year when I was actually fighting Tomcats and F-4J and MiG -23 in the F-5C…did you play the Skoshi while that was going on??? NOBODY thought it should fight those and it dosent anymore thank god
Yes, clearly the reason I’m killing F-5s is because I’ve bad at the game.
The F5 is one of the best fighters in the game wdym
