No it doesn’t
no it doesn’t, 50% of the missile count and magics aren’t a direct upgrade to AIM-9Ds in the current game
No, it wouldn’t. It lacks flares and a RWR.

You are highly overrating its ability to 1. Avoid missiles and 2. its capability in uptiers
Maybe so, I only played it when it had excellent matchmaking really. In regards to original post thought I don’t think it would be impossible to play at 10.3 and might be best for all the flareless. Moving mig21bis going back to 11.3 would help prevent getting clicked on from the front but since it’s premium I doubt they’d ever move it back
No. It is incredibly dumb to move this up without general decompression moving up MOST things. The French F-8 as it stands would not survive north of 10.0.
Sure, just move it and its opponents up in the same patch even better. All I’m getting at is it’s ridiculous powerful when fighting anyone who isn’t way faster than it
Taken just how good the F-8 (especially the E) flies, I very highly doubt moving it up will result in any real issues.
The biggest issues for it will be Mig-21 and Mig-23 which are insanely undertiered anyways.
Either way, I’d rather the F-8E (FN) get put into Mig-21/23 tier than it continue to harrass 9.0s and 9.3s.
no flares = not viable past 10.0, the french f8e is also unplayed
