i dont think gaijin actually cares at all, they are so painfully inconsistent on this stuff

mig19s and anything with r60s would deal with it just fine.
Are you still on the same page of “R-60´s are unflarable” and “F-5C doesnt have cold engines”?

no lol, j7d is meta but this does not mean the entire bracket is china dominated. In that bracket you also have: F-4E, the various F-5s, MiG-21SMT, MiG-21MF, MiG-23MLA, MiG-23MLD, Kurnass, JA37C as competitors
Oh no! France has a singular meta in the entirety of air RB! One that will surely fall probably in 1 patch to the next hottest jet where France will wait 5 more years (or never) for another meta! What will we do?
You should note I said
and not
“At rank 7+”
further, jet metas, especially at rank 7+ are unstable af and change pretty often… you are complaining about something that will not exist in a year. What WILL exist is the USA and USSR’s strangehold on the game’s meta where from rank 1 to rank 8 both nations consistently are in the top 3 nations for strong ass planes.

No, it doesn’t. They are rear aspect missiles and do not get front aspect kills besides flukes.
You have to be ragebaiting atp

you are the same person who a few years ago was saying the mig19 needed r60s to compete at 9.3 lmao

Great, our infamous ‘boeing747cultist’ decided to run away from this topic and crawl his own topic which is aged a month.
Just as expected

F-5 is good, first time playing any F-5 with the Swiss F-5E (played until i spaded it) and have an almost 2 K/D, most of the kills are from snipes while intersecting with guns so if you’re a not good player with the guns i can see that being a problem.
In fact after looking at it further i’m doing better in the F-5E than any german Rank VII planes, surely must be a bad plane then.

except i’m not running away from this topic, i’m right about what i’m saying and you’re flying attackers without weapons and expecting they can win a dedicated mafia fighter breed.
I keep saying i am beating f-5s in things like mig21s and phantoms by simply getting the nose on place quicker than they do, besides why would you want to dogfight in a meta where staying fast and launching doppler missiles is more relevant than winning minute long rate fights? the f-5c was made to 1v1 aircraft above Vietnam, not to go 1v16 against planes it never faced.
All you do is cry about the f-5c being OP while refusing to put a remedy to it. In your case, flying attackers only.
we’re talking about the f-5c, which happens to share the same br as the rest of f-5s while being the one with least engine power and worst missiles. It’s a legacy br at this point.
you are the same person who a few years ago was saying the mig19 needed r60s to compete at 9.3 lmao
you also ignore that i also said it to go to 10.3 with flares. But go ahead, keep tampering with what i said.
no lol, j7d is meta but this does not mean the entire bracket is china dominated. In that bracket you also have: F-4E, the various F-5s, MiG-21SMT, MiG-21MF, MiG-23MLA, MiG-23MLD, Kurnass, JA37C as competitors
china dominates because there is at least six j7d’s per team in 10.7, which implies having twelve missiles that if used smarfly will grant you at least two free kills. Defyn said it’s a shit plane so everyone still downplays it, despite it’s a MIG21MF with magic 1s and side aspect pl5b’s wich are the best non all aspect missile in game, beating the aim9m at stealth ranged shots.
Oh no! France has a singular meta in the entirety of air RB! One that will surely fall probably in 1 patch to the next hottest jet where France will wait 5 more years (or never) for another meta! What will we do?
Spammed, same issue as j7d.
No, it doesn’t. They are rear aspect missiles and do not get front aspect kills besides flukes.
So now game physics and strategic recklessness is “flukes”? I didn’t know, cue the video where I got two MiGs head on with the f-4e (9J and 9E have the same seeker sensitivity)
You have to be ragebaiting atp
No, you just play strict to the weaponry stats without experimenting. If an aim9e can kill a mig23 head on from 1km away launch then the pl5b which is a side aspect missile can do it too.
It’s INSANE to me that people keep thinking the f-5c is op now that it sees 11.7 planes and is not just no longer unique in a br of attackers, but everything else surpasses it performance dogfight and weaponry wise. Even the other nations have lighter, better armed and more powerful f-5c variants. And the j7d phenomenom. It not only outweapons every 10.7, but also outperforms it.

the skoshi tiger did indeed not have flares, and I apologize for defending my statement, But still, i say, do you want it to get it’s flares removed and lowered to 9.7? no, right? nobody wants that. They’d rather put the f-5c back at 11.0.
its up to snail to decompress
dont blame the player
maybe because there are no CW missiles and PD radars below 11.3?
the ONLY option is decompression, the f-5c should ideally share a br with similarly flareless jets with higher performance missiles (think mirage 3c or f-1)
how about you also apologise for shitting up the thread with similarly bad takes? you keep saying easily disprovable things and never backing your statements up
nobody will take you seriously if you keep doing that

The F-5C would be fine where it is if the j7d was moved to 11.3 where it belongs, and the j7e to 11.7 where it belongs. The major issue of the f-5c is having poor performance and poor armament but easy to use, against stuff that also has poor armament or against which you can use tactical recklessness.
A MiG23 MLD or a Phantom has insane armament and good performance, but these two planes are something you can kill head on with an aim9e (it’s the best way to use them, in fact)
A MiG21 SMT is something you MAY win in a dogfight but has very poor armament so if it wants to kill you it has no option but engage, it can’t stay running forever.
But the J7D IS the main problem, it does perform better than a MiG21SMT in an air rb scenario because it’s a MiG21MF with no flare pod that hinders its’ center of gravity, weight and aerodynamics, it’s as cold as the f-5c and has missiles that ignore backward fired flares if shot from side aspect.
If the J7D had just magic 1s it would still be 11.0 material although it would be forced to stay close to enemies instead of vulturing from 4km away unspotted at sea level and still scoring kills, but it’s the pl-5bs that grant it should be 11.3. I repeat, if you can kill MiG23s and phantoms with strict rear aspect missiles, you can do it too with side aspect missiles like pl5b. There’s also high chances you can even kill drakens and viggens head on with the pl5b because I managed to score many with R60 normal.
All in all, with all the things that were added to the game, I can firmly say that the f-5c is a bottom tier plane. I mean, I barely die to them even if i face many of them every match.
doesnt look like you actually care about balance in any way
whatever ragebaiter

Let me explain you something, son. Everyone WANTS the mig21 smt and mf to go 10.7, then you have J7D which has the best non all aspect missiles in the game at 10.7. Do you know what planes have PL5b’s too? Yes, exactly, other 11.3 planes that also happen to be slightly low in BR.
lol
Include: Su22, Su24, F111, F14, F15.
Prime example of tactical recklessness.
Oh, what about the current state of M39 acting like 50 cals?
(he’s the same player btw)
J7D IS SO MUCH SUPERIOR TO THE F-5C, and SO MUCH SUPERIOR than LITERALLY any 10.7 in game. And gsh23l is still one of the best guns in game, it nukes anything that a single shell touches, then also it doesn’t suffer from severe speed loss, and it doesn’t despawn after two seconds flying off the barrel.
You got 60 fictional flares on your F-5C. And one of the coldest airframes.
IR-missiles should not pose a threat to you.
Although I do not know how you managed to run out of flares… What were you doing? Most missiles are 1 or 2 flare, especially in a F-5.
And looking at your performance in this jet, I don’t know what you are complaining about?
You got a 65% winrate with 1091 kills to 370 deaths and 731 respawns in 680 matches.
Does not look like you are suffering in this aircraft the slightest.
If anything, this is your best performing jet…

No? You are just ragebaiting while hopping around topics.
Now I can expect that you will run off from this and go back to another again.
I just wonder why the f- you are criticising that I am only playing attacker
WHEN I CAN CHOOSE NOTHING BUT ATTACKER after Hunter F.6 (9.7) till Phantom FG.1/FGR.2(12.0), ffs.
It is not my fault, but Gaijin’s fault, who filled only attackers in tech tree.
I think I already explained, but you are just ignorant to ignore it.
By the way, if you believe that those attacker really has no weaponry, it is nothing but you are flying a broken plane with a cold-fusion engine, which makes it almost immune to IR missiles. :/
It is insane to me that you keep ignoring F-5C sees 9.7 planes…
i can deal with f-5 in su25 which is worse than harriers in every regard, i think this is a serious case of not knowing when to extend and reengage.
