Not needed
Not needed (you face F-4C lmao)
False.
Not anymore, you are 11.0, the lowest F-16 is 12.7
For missiles and flares is just situational awareness, look at my flares, only used twice

Died to an F-104 taking off
might have to go back and get my decent K/D to a crazy one, if the J-7E is back in itโs prime then i will be playing the hell out of it
Plus they changed wing ripping so it can be flown faster at low alts for longer
Itโs listed in Seek & Destroy flight model datamine post
Seek & Destroy dev server FM changes (2.35.1.111 โ 2.36.0.16) : r/Warthunder (reddit.com)
J-7E:
- Wing, flaps retracted:
- Oswaldโs efficiency number lowered from 0.75 to 0.72
- Will result in higher drag coefficient depending on AoA, meaning worse overall turn
- ~0.4deg/s sustained turn rate loss at the most

Is it noticeable? I havent played the J7E since before the patch.
Lmfao turns out J7E fans got more than what we asked for. J7E has stayed 11.0 which technically means it got a 0.7BR decrease essentially making it โ10.3โ haha. It canโt face against ANY 4th gen including the F-14. ๐๐๐๐๐

It has no predator, you will only die to bad luck and being in a 1vEveryone bc your team is full of mentally challenged people

Ty very much, i wasnt able to find it, 0.4ยบ/s isnt that much tho
I have been a menace in it so far, had 7 matches with no death in a row and consistently made 2-6 kills out of the 25 games I played, they truly cooked with these BR changes

I had not been able to kill a single A10 or Su25, I just give up on them, I thought they are just like the stupid F4s but turns out with 480/256 flares, you could just keep flaring. I see what you mean after playing it but for the first couple of games I got like 2-3 kills except the first where my loadout got swapped for some reason, does this happen every patch? Like your loadout goes to default like fuel tanks?
A lot of the time i will sit behind someone and launch a PL-5B to force them to evade it then rapidly launch another one once they have stopped flaring momentarily, since they are still so fast no one can dodge them within 1.5km so they have to dump flares and turn, making them susceptible to a free gun kill (use armoured belts for better damage)

I struggle a lot with guns (too used to comfortably spraying with 4 20mm on the F100), I did get a couple of gun kills but I had a lot of internet lag cause Iโm in asia but playing on euro server, the gun seem to be very painful to be used with 200ms of consistent lag.
And yeahโฆ It actually shouldnโt be at 11.0 but, not in the sense the OP is thinking lol
I played couple games after the patch and itโs still a very agile and powerful plane even before the br change, I guess if you played J-7E all the time/aced it you would get a small feeling of the nerf but thatโs all. After all its energy retention is vastly superior to other mig-21s, and this is unchanged.
j7e is not delta wing but double delta wing so it has a much better energy retention than j7d,which shares the same engine with j7e but single delta wing

J7D has half a ton more thrust and double delta wing does not perform that well as GAIJING modified the delta wing to make it, so aero wise it is not huge improvement, about 50-80km/h per 180.
come on when you take a sharp turn with j7d or other mig21 your speed will drop quick,but j7e wont

Very similar, Iโve done a test, it is within 30km/h difference from J7D but Migs are way worse, I guess J7E have less engine output so the wing advantage is less, I do know it is better than Migs, but against F5s I was a bit helpless (This thread was made and my comment too was based on the version where I had to face F16s and Mirages on a daily bases)
