Phantoms are worse aircraft and with full bombing loads are barely faster than harriers. the Kfir canard can really dogfight and carve up enemy teams in ways no phantom can ever.
the wasted potential of that plane annoyed me
AIM 7F spam still haunts me, granted I was only a Viggen fighting F4S, because God forbid Sweden ever got a decent aircraft

More burn time means easier to see.
Also, attackers are famously overtiered, so eh
It should receive at least magic 1 (A-5C 2x magic 1, j-7D 4x magic1/pl5b. Both 10.7)
Now it’s f 4 EJ and f 104s. The kfir canard constantly get out-speed due to it’s slow acceleration, and lack of napalms. Also the rocket bombers of F-4 phantoms.
I bomb in it. I understand one of your biggest complaints is that I bomb in fighters, but this plane is a strike plane wrongly designated as a fighter.
This is the biggest skill issue I’ve ever seen, brother you need to get some help
That’s not what dictates it’s BR in Air RB mate. Also you really need to learn to properly play fighter aircraft instead of bombing in aircraft you really shouldn’t be.

That’s true, but it’s not a disadvantage, as you are launching your missile from a longer distance, meaning you are less likely tò be spotted, for example: if someone wants tò get in range on my 6’ to launch a 9J he gets usually spotted on the minimap before he can get the shot, while with 9G i can have a launch even from 5km in a side aspect, meaning that i’m invisibile on the minimap.
I tried both for countless matches and i can assure you that the 9G gets the job done more often than a 9J, if you find the missile underwhelming it’s a skill issue.
If you don’t know how to use the missiles Remember that you can still mount a 20mm Vulcan and you hvae One of the best performing plane for 11.0, instrad of complaining and creating posts in the forum
GET BETTER or you won’t enjoy any Planet in this game.
Well the main problem is in that there are only two of them
there are a lot of planes at 11.0 with only two missiles, generally they perform fine or even good
And some of them shouldn’t be, considering you have planes like J35XS with 6 missiles + IRST at 10.3 and J-7D with 4x better missiles at 10.7
That’s how gaijin “balances” vehicles by BR, not me.
J35X is also a terrible plane
Well, maybe, especially regarding it’s flare count. But 6 missiles vs 2, is very depressing outlook for the Kfir.
In 11.0, the 6-12 flare planes are gone, and more people know to flare, essentially making 2X 9G a laughing stock that are more reliably used on AI targets than else.
Glad you’re not in charge of Balancing then, otherwise the F-15E would be 10.0 because it doesn’t have Napalm

That’s how gaijin would balance a plane, not me. It’s the reason half of the starfighters are overtiered.
6 AIM 9Js don’t exactly mean anything. It’s still a fuel hungry jet that bleeds speed by looking left, with terrible missiles
That’s all delta wings. Every time I drop the bombs at the base, turn around, I literally get machine gunned by F-5s because they can turn at 1000kph and mine doesn’t.
More missiles mean more chance one of them will result in a kill, especially at higher tier where planes have way more flares and crew skill points
If you don’t bomb, you don’t need to do sharp turns, which will blow your speed at all.
when you know you are playing delta, and it’s weakness.
Why do you expose its weakness even wider?
Nothing wrong with doing it on a strike plane
Kfir canard is a re engined mirage 5, a specifically designed strike plane
Also, turning reduces chance I can be killed by a IRCCM
