It still is, and that is a major problem.
It only shits on the low level premium pilots who dont know what theyre doing or bombing. Stuff like Mirage 2000 and MiG-29 will cook you in an instant.

if you lose to a F8U then its your own fault. Meanwhile you people are still whining about the F104s which are little more than glorified rockets with wings that cant turn.
SO U MEA… A PREMIUM IS KILL NON PREMIUMS? LIKE EVERY OTHER PREMIUM IN THE GAME":
meanwhile you’ve had SU with R60s at lower BRs literally firing missiles at korean war jets. but somehow its just the U.S thats doing it.
STOP FLYING IN A STRAIGH LINE DOOLIE, AND LEARN TO NOTCH.
Youre fast and nimble, Aim 9L is still very strong even at top tier.
you also don’t appear do have done enough battles to spade it or learn how to play it right.
Me when I have no RWR 😔

Lemme guess 4X AIM-9Ms at 11.3 is fair too?
You have no clue. Anyway, nice bait.
They are untouchable. Please go play the BR before dropping your shitty assumptions here.
Both did it, but A-10s are far more potent!
inb4 he says AIM-9M at 11.3 is totally balanced

You dont need a RWR if you know you are flying against the U.S in that BR range with F14S.
Expect/Assume you are a target, Notch anyways. i don’t even question if im being shot at by AIM 120 in my F-16 i dive and hide behind mountains and spam chaff as soon as the terrain is gone, and i see the missile puffs behind me and hear the impacts on the mountain.
Even if you have to do a 360 degree turn back towards your base and gain altitude, and i assure you the AIM 54 will not have the speed to follow you or track you.

Crazy if you have a problem fighting the F8U i know you cried at the F5Cs
No, they are not. They are GLORIFIED BOOM/ZOOMERS they CANNOT TURN AT HIGH SPEED. Maybe if you stopped flying in a straight line and making yourself look like a juicy open target you wouldn’t die.
Now go spam your A5C

You realize at 13g the pilot will be knocked out. You are dying to a pilot thats asleep.
Still a hard turn that it will pull
Also when did I say I was dying to it lmao

Does the F-5C have 4x 18 G missiles with decently long range? Didnt think so.
That’s where they turn best, lol.
Always feels good magicing starfighters. The only way youre killing one who plays it right is with a strong missile.
Wow, crazy! you used a supersonic fighter vs a starfighter that was dumb enough to airbrake you! Now go kill one that stays fast in a MiG-17 or F-86!

Meanwhile you complain about the F8U and F104 stilll. When you abuse the A5C a plane with literal MAGICS at 10.3 that have a 35g Overload. The hypocrisy is astounding.
and when they are doing this high speed wide arcing turn, you can fire off a missile at them
or… you wait until they fly away and then turn your plane facing them and kill them in a head on.
Uptier are not meant to be fair.
Did you just suggest doing a head-on against a plane with M61 Vulcan as its main weapon ? What ?
Head-on with guns is the worst thing to do in warthunder in the first place. Only noobs do it because it’s a 50/50 at best. And if that’s the only counter available to the F104, that’s dogshit design and that means the plane is undertiered.
A good F104A is impossible to kill if you don’t own at least a Mig19.
