F1C-200 Premium is outdated and overpriced – NF-5A outclasses it in every way

Hi Gaijin team and community,

I want to share my frustration with the current state of the Mirage F1C-200 PREMIUM compared to the newly released NF-5A PREMIUM.

What I’ve experienced with the F1C-200 PREMIUM:

  • Long grind or purchase at a high price expecting a solid, competitive jet.
  • BR 12.0 facing top-tier opponents.
  • 3x 2000 lb bombs — heavy, slow, and no incendiary effect.
  • Radar and Super 530F missiles underperforming and unreliable.
  • Only 2 Magic II missiles — not enough compared to other jets.
  • Heavy, slow to accelerate — often last to arrive on the objective.
  • Result: struggling to be effective in matches and frustrated.

Meanwhile, the NF-5A PREMIUM offers:

  • Lower BR at 10.7 — much more favorable matchmaking.
  • 2x incendiary bombs — extremely effective for base destruction.
  • Lightweight and fast — first to the objective.
  • AIM-9J missiles — decent air-to-air performance.
  • Pack with bonus skins, GE, premium time, making it very attractive.

The harsh reality:

I paid for a premium jet expecting top-tier performance and fun gameplay,
but now find myself outclassed by a newer premium that is cheaper, faster, better armed, and more efficient.

What I ask for:

  • A rework of the Mirage F1C-200 PREMIUM to include:
    • Incendiary bombs option.
    • Improved radar or buffed Super 530F missiles.
    • More Magic II missiles (4 total) or other meaningful offensive upgrades.
    • Lower BR to 11.7 if no buffs are possible.
  • Or a nerf of the NF-5A PREMIUM to maintain fair competition.

Please respect premium players

We pay for premium jets to get an edge or at least a fair experience,
not to be outperformed by newer, cheaper releases soon after purchase.

Right now, the Mirage F1C-200 PREMIUM loses its value and disappoints many loyal players.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see a serious response.

how can you call the nf-5a fast? its probably one of the slowest fighter jets at its br like all other f5’s.
and if you want the mirage f1 to have 4 magic 2’s (best ir missile by far at its tier) you need to provide sources as gaijin doesnt normally add fictional loadouts.

Hello

For any of the above 3 to happen, you will need to provide evidence the aircraft could
A) Carry more missiles
B) Carry these bombs
C) What on the radar or missiles spesifically can be improved.

And make a proper report on the bug reporting site:Community Bug Reporting System

We do not “buff” and “nerf” radars or missile performance on the basis of balancing an aircraft. They are all configured and set according to source material. Not according to what an entirely different and unrelated aircraft has.

Concerning its BR, BRs are changed spesifically in line with how a vehicle is performing. That is, if it is performing badly, it would go down and vice versa if performing well.
