This plane has no all aspect or radar guided missiles, so I have to resort to guns most of the time… It’s in big disadvantage from the start of the match. So why is it all the way at 11.0?
Good all aspect missiles on a meta airframe is a BR 11.7 - 12.3 trait.
neither of those things are common on 11.0 planes
But I’m constantly facing MiG 23MLs
its gun fighter.
because it is good gunfighter.
But if you face a MiG23ML or F4E who are at least half decent, you can’t do anything
And what are 10.0 supposed to do against F-5E? Or, since youre wondering why F-5E is so high in BR, Im assuming you would want it at what, 10.7? What would 9.7 do against it?
Issue of uptiers isnt unique to the F-5E.
Its not like you cant force a merge with F-4E since it doesnt have PD radar and MiG-23 sits almost one whole BR higher (and arguably could sit one whole BR higher).

You can turn/rate with them, getting hit by a radar missile is optional at that br.

So maybe it’s a problem of the BR system. Don’t do 1.0 up and down, but just 0.7
okay and? they arent 11.0
just a cheap way to get decompression that does more harm in the long term than actual decompression would
But you face them all the time… There’s nothing else I face these days. MiG 23s on repeat. It’s very frustrating.
Yeah it makes little sense for it to remain at 11.0. It should go to 11.3

im gonna call confirmation bias here, sure the rate of uptiers to downtiers is not 50/50 but thats due to many factors, but i’ve been playing at 11.0 recently and its really not that bad, you can just let your teams 11.3-11.7s fight the mig23s while you go fight easier targets, plus if youre above the mig23s chaff works pretty well
Well, if you say so. This is the 3rd F5E I’m spading. And I’m not saying that it’s a bad plane, but uptiers are difficult…
