9.7 x 13 total aircraft only 5 of these have flares one having to give up a gun for flares.
10.0 x 13 total aircraft only 3 aircraft have flares
10.3 x 13 total aircraft one flareless
10.7 still 2 flareless aircraft
Flares only become standard from 10.3 only one br step below the J7D
So now you have to equip rockets to use as flares which are not as effective as flares and sacrifices some offensive weapons on certain aircraft. Thats after unlocking the mod you have play several rounds to get the mod.
Having spaded majority of aircraft above and below J7D they are a monster in good pilots hands and still scary in the average players hands.
More stats from random players i have encountered in random battles.
Lvl35 with 1 day in a fighter experience is pulling off a 0.75kd. When someone can just pick up the game with no experience in a Rank 7 jet, and do decently well considering thier time in game its a little bit telling as to how undertiered an aircraft is…
Lvl100 with 77 days he knows how busted it is right now and is abusing that.
Since you asked for proof of downtiers J7D get. Stock J35D 2xmissles no flares just added drop tanks.

that level 100 with the 5.11 KD showing us the plane needs to go down to 10.3 xDDDDD
Jesus man 5.11 KD is bonkers for a plane that “sucks”, No idea why folks always said this was worse than the bis

Main thing is the all aspect missile.That seem to be their main argument for why J7D couldn’t be 11.0 , when it can be and nothing negative would happen to it. The entire thread got two people death defending the thing and still manage to fumble at every turn.

That “no experience” person could have some flight time in arcade ground (CAS plane kills are counted towards tank kills) or arcade air
Trust me darling. At level 35 there not much Arcade match you can do while spamming 235 matches of J7D

Could be a new account of someone (as much as it is against TOS).
Who decides to pick up the game and then immediately declares “oh I want that J-7D”, a pretty obscure plane, and certainly mig 21s are not “cool” to the average person.
Pardon?

Well…I meant it isn’t known to the average person as F35, F14, su 27 etc etc.
Also I know Mig 21 is cool, and personally speaking, has been my nation’s air defense network for many years, even serves as a trainer in form of modernized versions.
The mental gymnastics are wild.
Someone actually did research before buying a premium no way! Can find 2 videos from CCs within past 6 months literally saying best premium for China.
Also Mig21s such an iconic plane especially if your nations airforce actually flew them.
F111 does something for me being an aussie and seeing them at the yearly riverfire festival doing a dump and burn. Im sure there would be people out there that has the same affection for Mig21s

Literally anyone that want to play china ? Or want to grind it ? Even without watching CC or look up information about what premium to get. It is the only top tier premium in chinese air to get
Outright misinformation. Fishbed is such an iconic jet that even after 70 years since it maiden flight it is still in service. The one that NVA used against the war in the sky against the better avionic yet worse AF F4 used by the USAF ? Like please , I know you are not the sharpest tool but saying Fishbed is not “cool” is just unacceptable and bringing up newer modern jet to raise the bar doesn’t help.

dude it looked like cigar with dorito taped to the side… if I want a cool MiG-21 it’s gotta be J-7E.
Not denying it’s contribution or coolness, perhaps, I should’ve said “famous”.
Your average CoD playing kids don’t know these Vietnam war planes.
Your average CoD playing kids don’t play War Thunder but buy another CoD instead.
So disrespecting J-7D with ‘MiG-21 fuselage looks ugly and CoD kids are disliking them.’ is even wilder than ‘we shouldn’t nerf J-7D because it has no napalm’

Because people like to defend their meal tickets religiously and when it moved up in Br you can bet either this thread will blow up or another will crop up of folks complaining

And as it sits right now , its very good in arb (cant speak for sim)
The thing at 10.7 is very, very noob friedly as it turns out.
who knew 4x PL-5B on a buffed MiG-21MF airframe would be (too) good at 10.7
(everybody)
You also get PL7 which are python equivalents no?
PL-7 is a magic 1. rename
