I think the german F-104G should get the AIM9L or be dropped to 10.7

The devs say the reason the A-10 gets AIM9L or AIM9M is do to its poor flight preformance… It might not be as poor as the A-10 but atleast with aim9L you wont have as many games where you get absolutely clubbed
Is this a good idea?

well it did carry them in service, as did the F-4F (non ICE version) and imo at 11.0 they do deserve some love, but so far our efforts havent yielded anything

well, F-104G plays better than F-4F
not sure that you need it

Respectfully, I disagree; The F4F(not ICE) can do everything the F-104G can in game plus it “can” dogfight which the F104 cant

You are correct it doesnt need it but i feel as an alternative at 10.7 it would prevent you from seeing planes that just don’t allow you to play the game (f4S, mig23 mld)

I agree, the plane needs to be downtiered.
The only four rear aspect 20G missiles versus MiG-23ML and MLD with two best radar-guided missiles R-24R and four all-aspect R-60M 30G… Starfighter is slower than even Phantoms and Tornadoes. In short, it has no advantage over anyone at all.

All the F-104s save the A/C (and possibly J) are .3 overtiered fs
