How tf?
Just look at the alpha jet reports
And how is it related to AMX?
AMX pulls more G then the hawk at any airspeed besides having much higher wing loading and a worse aerodynamic wing profile

Hawk 200 is perfectly fine for 10.7 when the Alpha Jet TH exists at 10.7
Alpha Jet TH might be one of my favorite jets as it gets AIM-9P-4, which are worse than AIM-9Ls. I would say that I am pretty competent with the Alpha Jet TH, being objectively worse than the Hawk 200. I say it all comes to skill, though.
I think it’s actually somewhat criminal that the Hawk 200 is at the same BR as the Alpha Jet TH, with better cannons and an RWR with AGMs. Just expect that you will be last to the fight, maybe use that time to your advantage?
sure let’s make MiG-19PT face a faster A-10.

I’ve been flying the Hawk 200 and aim 9L’s do not really do anything for it. In pretty much every scenario, you have to play them like they are an aim 9G: Never fire them at planes in a dogfight for they will most certainly see a flare, missile, or rocket and instantly give up, and the Hawk’s low speed means they have much less energy when firing them so that in order for them to work you must be much closer to your opponent. There is no chance of killing a jet with flares in a head on and coming from the side will make opponents see or hear you when in range, so they are instantly counter the missile.
I would propose 10.3. Even in a 10.7 - 9.7 bracket, it struggles. Sure there are many planes without flares, but Mach 2.5 missiles exist in lower BR’s and the Hawk’s slower speed restricts the missiles more.
I do acknowledge after playing the Jaguar GR.1 and the Buccanneer S.2 how awful it is to see a missile when you are subsonic, struggle to turn, and do not have countermeasures. But the hawk is a much lesser threat. It is more a target for opposing 10.7, 10.3, and 10.0 craft such that it cannot reach these slower and vulnerable jets. Unless there is decompression, it will continue to struggle. At the moment, I have died in 90% of the games I have played with it, and only gotten 7 player aircraft kills thus far; Five of those were gun kills
The Alpha Jet TH also turns A LOT better than the Hawk 200. Has no RWR and the missiles are worse but I think the FM is much better. It shouldn’t be any lower than the Hawk 200

I say it’s sorta comparable, but they both should get worse 20g missiles and drop to 10.3, though i dont know how realistic that would be :(
