because it has one of the lowest IR heat signatures in the game combined with being tiny, agile, and having a good amount of flares
Then prove what you say and not by youtube vids of players that are the exception …go buy one OR grind out the F-5E even tho its better than the premium…literally go make some vids of you dominating in one then pls instruct me I bet you cant in anything but full downtier…( and Im not calling you bad for probably not being able to accomplish that)
oh man sounds like 11.0 material to me… Lets see can bareley keep mach1 at deck is outclimbed by everything at its br has two 10g missiles is the actual slowest fighter at its br even A-5C is faster with better thrust…absolutely sounds like 11.0 monster…
My stats in the F-5E FCU show that it is a fairly capable plane. Keep in mind, those stats are for a completely stock plane, and I still don’t have python 3s unlocked.
In 23 games, I have 16 deaths and 33 kills.
The A5 hits a brick wall at about mach 0.95, and it can’t break mach one below about 3000m. It also rips at 1260kmh.

doesnt really matter in gameplay because people love to turnfight you anyway instead of running, you can also usually force a guy to slow up some with your 9Es
when has this ever mattered, like when does a guy climb away from you into heaven at 11.0, the f5c isnt even a slower climber it does fine
yeah its one of legit only downsides combined with the low speed
you just cant utilize it and thats ok, not every jet is for everyone, but the f5c is cracked for a 10.7.
In what Sim mode ??? It 1000% can outrun a F-5C on the deck and thats about mach 1.01 at 600 ft…it dont need 9000ft above sea level…did a change happen since yesterday?
Ok show me then…
Have you ever considered that you are the issue? Not the plane?
Not every plane matches every player
omfg you have no USA STATS FOR AIR…Nope its just in game sorry but still you have only the E not the C so once again people talking about what they dont have but unlike most of the others you actually have ground it out so you I apologize to you alone
No plane can always win in every situation. It is completely normal that the F5 has flaws, every plane has.
Ofc different planes have a different amount of flaws which are sometimes smaller and sometimes bigger.
I’m sorry man, but if you suck with the F-5, then you have an ironic skill issue. Just because you bomb bases and then get confused when someone kills you because you’re too focused on trying to get your bombs off, instead of actually playing the game; doesn’t mean the plane is bad.

Exactly. That doesn’t fit the meta.
You’re making it sound like you have never played 10.7 air. Every match devolves into a furball, which is where the F-5C will stomp everything.

The meta at 10.7 is not in the hands of missile trucks

You make it sound like you dont play 10.7 mate lol seriously I live at 9.7 to 11.7 for last couple months and yea people die by guns but frankly I see most gun kills are from headons or BnZ not people commiting to rate fights…yea I would say 99% of my kills are from guns with F-5C while probably most deats from 3rd party all aspect missiles after Im either outa flares or just to busy paying attention to another player im in a rate fight with which is a ME problem if I have flares still
It does. At 10.7 the best missile trucks are A-10’s and Su-25’s (free kills), and the rest get quite weak missiles (excluding the J-7D, that thing is insane). Gunfighters rule the 10.0 BR area.
Fee kills? F-5Cs are always free kills, for my A-10A.
That’s because the average F-5C is piloted by a sack of sticks.
Or rather, it’s because F-5 simply isn’t meta.
People will point at you and laugh when you say this. Only the J-7D is a more powerful 10.7.
