Why do you split so many paragraphs for what can be done in a sequence of periods? And why do you separate them with a whole line? This ain’t reddit.
Genuinely man it’s one of those ones, cause the J35XS isn’t as absolutely abused like F5C was not as many folks folks complain.
Objectively wrong. There’s at least three j35xs for every single f-5 (any variant, any nation) if Sweden is in the match.
They got it put too high due to it’s earnings which in turn made it absolutely dog water VS jets slinging SARH missiles and aim54s as standard.
No, it got put high where it belonged before, when it could fly fine after getting sparrowed or having a mirage spend half of it’s ammo on it (which is ironic that it’s a flying fuel tank with no protective measures that almost never gave a fuel explosion)
Now it flies horribly and can only win a slow mig21.

The link there is to show that it’s the mods forcing me to use active threads (and I MEAN ACTIVE) over existing threads or creating new ones. “The F-5C is no longer good” has been inactive since late August, the last time this thread was active was a day before I even wrote again.
Pretty bold statement.
Which if you watch his video with it he shows how he has that KD overall with it.
So you admit that f-5c would get KD by exploiting shit players, right? Defy gets KD’s on the ta152C-3 by going head on and catching slow people off guard, the f-5c literally plays the same: it catches people off guard and (if you have the average response of a normal human being) slaps mig23s or tornadoes head on with an aim9e before they ruin your match running away from everyone.
The F8U2 even when it’s wings would break was a genuinely busted plane.
It was my first ever supersonic god knows how many years ago, and I never went negative with it.
No shid, it has four goated 18g missiles and the same TWR output as the mig21smt. It is the scourge of the MiG19PT.
And the F8U2 doesn’t have better energy retention than the F5C , don’t know where you’re pulling that from, 5C generally beats an F8U2 in a dogfight.
The F8U does have better energy retention than the f-5c, so much so it literally accelerates while turning at 1000 plus ias while controlling wing snap, where the f-5c will instantly lose all of it’s speed and become
an anemic drowning duck.
The F5C is substantially more reliable than the 8U2 at dealing with mig21s in overall arb.
As well as this the F8E or F5E beat both the 5C and 8U2
It does not. The MiG21 can extend away from the f-5c after missing the approach and getting into a two circle. Not from the f8u. I can literally disengage off a ratefight and run away from f-5c’s on the su25 which breaks at 900 ias, why not with a crusader or a mig21?
Lol what, the su25 has one tighter turn becuase its slower, thats like saying an A10 will out dogfight it.
Completely wrong, the su25 does not turn tighter, but it has better thrust weight ratio at speeds below 800 IAS and can stall the f-5c out or more conveniently keep the lag pursuit to end up having the f-5c on top of it stalled out. Vertical fighting su25 wins too.
GHS23 is universally agreed to be worse the 20mm US cannons due to the sheer lack of velocity and mounting positions.
Objectively subject to user opinion, but gsh23l deals much more damage per round and reaches further during supersonic flight. It is in fact the only cannon that hasn’t been affected by realshatter ever. IN fact, during the first realshatter wave, a single shell impact was more than enough to snap an f-4c in half. I occasionally have the average “Hit” moment with gshussy because my client suffers from severe fragging deficiency (as in “hit” is what i get when i make the enemy plane snap in half and falls to the ground in a ball of flames but then a guy scratches it’s paint in the last milisecond and gets the kill instead) but i’ve had mig21 bis games where i’d use the four r13m’s to take down incoming SARH or drop them when facing a j7e and score six gun kills without reloading.
Why are you going that slow in an F5C bar unless in a 1v1
Uh, what? who is saying i’m going slow on f-5c? I’m saying that m39 rounds have terridogshit drag past 500kmh of airspeed. Which is objective and eventually makes m39 not only reach the same muzzle velocity as gsh23l just a second after it left the barrel and is barely 700m away but despawn at around 1km or 1.5km where it has no kinetic power. Still not as bad as Browning Colt mk12 or mk11s which despawn at 800 meters even if they have a more constant muzzle velocity. Besides, ANYTHING owns an f-5c if both fly at 500 IAS.
What you said has absolutely no corroboration to what I asked.
There are still F5C topics.
This one is irrelevant.
This post is relevant in the sense of activity, and after 12.0 decompression, the f-5c is seeing again many of the opponents it saw when it was 11.0.
Take a look.
