A5 should go to 10.3 so i can buy
Know nothing about f104s so cant comment
F5A = J7D IMO.
j7d has a way higher kill potential. Id say nf5a and j7d are about equally dominant and its down to prefereance
In a clueless lobby yes. PL5s are overated so if its down to guns- F5 no contest
Bro they are straight up the best ir missiles of 10.7 what are you on about
And are still mid.
Good missiles are ones i cant flare easy, magic 2s for eg are the baine of my WT existence
They should be good since you will be fighting flareless planes accasionally. All missiles at 10.7 are usable. Just pick your targets better
Another myth.
J7D fights up most of the time
Anyway if flareless any 20g missile would do no?
Can they just implement the damn changes already? We’re at the point where people are doubting the PL-5B.
Meanwhile, this is your average J-7D pilot:

I mean yes but the pl5 is just so much faster than anything else its comical
Its fast boy for sure. M8 im average player and have no issue flaring PL5 from 700m so doubt anyone does.
well if you are firing at someone who is looking at you thats on you. If they are firing on aware people thats on them. Its just how non irccm meta is. You shoot at people who arent looking.
Yup. The most deadly PL-5B slingers are the ones you don’t even see because they’re above you.
Thats my point tho. This is every missile around this BR.
The pl5 is so good bc you have good range and your missile is so fast the time frame that they can react is smaller

I had a few instances where it’d flat out ignore my JA37’s flares, probably just because that engine is ungodly hot but yk.
for all the rear aspect missiles, the PL5B and Magic 1 are definitely the most flare resistant.
You are right in a way. Its not so much flare resistant its just the speed vs a late flare = hit
But even at 700m its easy to evade if you are ready
PL5 can dunk from space from a little further than others- but 1 flare and its done.
Im guessing its as hot as phantoms and harrier? Both have lots of trouble flaring anything lol.
Please tell me why the Iranian Tomcat should stay at 12.7 in sim and the normal f14a at 12.3
Did it use it irl?
M1, M1KVT → keep 10.7 and Recive M833.

Good turning? It loses speed tremendously and doesn’t accomplish much actual turning. It has lower sustained turn rate than even F-4C.
Also no flares and only 2 missiles, vs 10.3 planes like Mirage IIIC and J35XS is ridiculous.
It should lose its 9Ps instead.
