NF5A why is it so low

The NF-5A’s empty weight is 4390 kg.
The NF-5A’s thrust is ~2450 kg/f at sea level at 1000kph ias.

The F-5E’s empty weight is 4830 kg.
The F-5E’s thrust is ~2300-2315 Kg/F under the same conditions.

Explain to me how 1. The F-5E’s engines are stronger and 2. How the NF-5A isn’t superior to the F-5E in this range considering its much lower weight?

I feel the real crime is that the chinese F5A does get the aim9P, but the thai and US ones dont

Post corrected.
The engines produced far less thrust near release.

The F-5C shouldn’t even have 9Es, none the less 9Ps.

how inconsistent gaijin chooses to be on any given day is unknown to me

Even that is completely wrong lmao.
Go look at content released on the day the patch dropped and see for yourself in how much of an “underpowered” state the NF-5 released in.

A perfectly superial premium thing on the same br ‘<’

im pretty sure it had them IRL as even the F100A has 9Es
and im pretty sure since aim 9B it can fit aim9E as they use the same launcher

Iirc the 9e entered service after the f5c was retired

it didnt, easy to find this info. USA F-5s were very short lived.

Also this is a taiwanese F-100 with no relation

Okay and? AIM-9Es and AIM-9Bs are equally compatible.

Money. Gaijin makes a lot of money from the F5 being severely undertiered (and overperforming in flight model)

just like why the 2s38, BMD4, Turm 3 and many other premiums are so low in BR

by that logic every plane that can carry a sidewinder should recive the magic 1 since they use the same pylons

By your* logic, as you speak for yourself and you didn’t read my post before replying.
AIM-9E uses the launching system of AIM-9B, the system of the aircraft sees both as the same missile.
AIM-9L for the air force as an example changed the standard from previous AIM-9s.
On top of that Magic uses its own rail standard.

2S38 was already fixed.

Doesn’t make sense to reply to me with that either

dw about it, it does

No, it doesn’t. Explain how if you think it does. Nothing I said had anything to do with what you said, nothing.

The F-5C (should not have) 9Es, (none the less), 9Ps).
The F-5C should not have either missile based on historical elements.

Makes no sense to say this in reply to what I just said.

yes it does.
