it doesn’t have a tanky damage model. The only time i struggle killing it is with m39 cannons because these are underwhelming. I just aim to the rudder, it goes away instantly sending the f-5’s into an install stall. Tanky damage models are the drakens, which are literal fuel tanks engulfing an engine with no armor and they need at least two sparrow strikes to actually go down.
Its great for 10.3, but you will never not at least be 11.0 most games 11.3.
10.0 planes same boat. 9.7 seems to be a sweet spot.
Who knows after the BR changes.
Gaijin needs to stop making premiums all the same BR pretty much. That is what causes this. So many 11.0 and 11.3 premiums compared to everything else. A lot of the 10.0-10 7 premiums are ground strikers that are meme/misery to play in AR and since they are already spaded dont need to grind that for mods.
I already know this is gonna be hidden but no wonder you got chat banned in the game. Some of the stuff you said must have forced the Staff’s hand. Wish some of the staff here did something as well cause these threads are at this point nothing more than someone complaining cause they think an aircraft isn’t good enough. Due to it being heavier than later variants.
Mind please sticking to the topics? You always keep derailing entire conversations into ad hominems or direct attacks to me.
The staff told me that I said the F word too much (even if it’s for saying “for >F< sake!”) and a couple of anti-chinese gaming culture slander comments. They chat banned me for a year after getting chat banned over 15 times for spamming the F word. Had I been ACTUALLY toxic and racist I would have been chat banned permanently from the second go. Not until this time i knew that the F word was a reason to get chatbanned in this game.
No biggie, and i’m ok with the punishment. The only people I need to talk with are on discord, whatsapp and real life.
As I said.
An aircraft is not supposed to fly normal when control surfaces are damaged or even missing.
You get hit, you get punished.
fine being?
flying straight back to the airfield?
Some planes are more stable than others. But that’s no fault of the flight- or damage model, but the fault of the engineers who designed those aircraft.
Of course you will wobble around when the part that prevents it is missing.
its at 10.7 right now, the F-5C at 10.3.
It is also a delta wing.
It also has 1/5 of the flares.
The J35s flightmodels have also been nerfed in the latest major update.

And on top of that:
Have terrible cannon placement
It’s easier to hit
Significantly loses speed in maneuver
F-5C is more than fine…

This troll post is still going on?
F5 family is more than “good”, one of the best planes for there br
yeah, because enemies think it’s fine to do a 180 turn on the first enemy they see.
laughs in never died to one if i paid attention.
So we are the usual suspects of brainrotten wt chat
no i just genuinely feel like something with a third of the engine power of the rest of 10.3’s, being transonic til 3km of altitude and having two of the worst missiles in game at a BR where everyone has four or more 18g+ missiles and a good engine is not good. You need people to actively want to die to you. If you think the f-5c is “cantsir” while consistenly ignoring that the mig21s and f8’s of even lower BR’s can easily terminate you while fitting air RB much more, then you seriously are still dying to zeroes on their own ranks while using any other fighter prop.
I have played both the F-5A and F-5E, both are amazing airframes out of the box, 10.3 was an insult of a BR when you have such incredible energy retention and guns, doing well is a matter of bringing 3/4 of a tank and committing to every headon you see, winning because of the velocity of the 20mms then being able to dogfight literally everything in the BR range and sometimes higher. I really don’t see where your complaints come from when the benefits of having a tiny airframe, cold engines, inaccurate flares, incredible guns and a bank of energy that is tapped into anywhere above 300 km/h
F-5C does not have 120 flares
it was never 120, you are hallucinating

Yeah, always been either 60 (F-5A/C model) and 45 (F-5E AIDC and FCU)

Nah, you did. F-5 fit the meta extremely well at 10.3 and was possibly the best 10.3.
I actually have no idea where i got it from, im ognna be honest with you. I think i just assumed it was double as it had 2. Its still cracked, or was. Now that its at 11.0 well have to see, but now it cant stomp down tiers, but i am far from saying it should be facing f16s, just like the j35xs which is now able to see such shit.
You mean “No Longer OP”
So by your logic the A6M5 Zero is the best 5.0 aircraft
mhm. Same gameplay, different opinions. Why?
And no, I never died to an f-5c or an f-5e in any 10.3+ aircraft unless I was not paying attention. In fact, my only complaint was it’s busted damage model on release, not that it was “busted”, it has energy retention and that’s literally it. The MiG19PT is slightly superior and the mig19s just gives it no chance. The F-4E turns inside it at high and at extremely slow speeds.
