AIM-9L for A6M5 actually since it’ll be at 11.0 soon

First is very doubtful to me. Second is limited by missile kit.
Third is not serious - that’s not the main weapon anyway. If that was possible, I would easily agree on that tradeoff. -7Ps and their number are quite equal to me for that.
When updated list
F-2A has the best flight model of 13.0
Literally nothing it fights can beat it in a dogfight (The only plane that beats it in a dogfight sits at 14.3 and 14.7)
As for air rb scenarios
Having actual energy retention is just so much better for extended missile fights or if you’re forced defensive
As if a mechanical radar is not straight up significantly worse than AESA bro
Don’t give them ideas
praying for a BR increase or decompression so that Fox 2 sparrow planes dont have to see MKKs and MK2s
Atleast if you got R27ERs you can generally just use the extreme speed and IOG+DL to bully even against Fox 3 players especially premium ones, but using 7Ms or 7Fs vs even R77s is just annoying.
Things like Phantoms or Viggens with fox 3s is whatever, the plane is in general so mid that once youre out of missiles youre somewhat out of options against gen 4s but a premium flanker with Archers and R77s at a pretty low BR to see things like F16A with 9Ls or such is just stupid
At this point, why not?
Not to mention it makes it very easy to “corkscrew” the AIM-7Ps
On a side note, I really wish Gaijin would bring “Bullet Hell” back
Just give historically available M833 rounds. Look, savage lol. I think it’s crazy that as a 10.7 with m774 going against 9.0 to 11.7 tanks that you can only side pin because of Gaijins choice of ammo.
F-2A ADTW would be so nice if we got proper decompression and the 13.0 flankers went to 13.3 like they should
Absolutely goated plane
I belive it could stay at 4.7 if they made it snap wings like it did back in the day. Its also historically correct. But right now it is a bit OP.
Lose the 5 sec reload and sure. Otherwise you arguably have vehicle better than Leo 2A4 and it would warrant higher BR.
It is pretty much equal to leopard 2A4 rn in terms of capability
Buffing M1 Abram’s ammo would shove it to 11.0
Basically a nerf larping as a buff
Yeah, 1v1 dogfights on 13.0 - heard about that.
Also, if you do not forced defensive - having actual energy retention is NOT just so much better for extended missile fights, also.
As if AIM-7M is not straight up significantly worse than AIM-7P bro
I find Abrams doing more for me than Leo2A4 these days but thats matter of preference, as you say these two are pretty much on par currently.
They have the exact same flight performance
The only boost that AIM-7P offers is datalink
In reality, the datalink won’t be that huge of an improvement for most situations partially thanks to the lack of HMD which makes relocking harder
Why do you think I pointed out Air RB scenarios too…
Go try telling me that when your F-18 is completely stalled tf out after defending against two missiles
