The F-5C is no longer good

I tried to play a load of 9.3 and 9.7 recently and I got full uptiers every single match. So I think you just got lucky

468

To be fair, I noticed that this depends on the time of the day. 9.7 and 12.7 are really prone to downtiers or 0.3 uptiers throughout the whole day except at night. It also depends on the nation too due to matchmaking.

Iv only played T2 for last few weeks- if it was uptiered often i woudnt have + KD.as im not good enough as has no flares… all the proof i need.

500 at a guess games in harrier… finished GB like 4 momths ago. But i still play 9.7 for fun to this day- fun not being vs 10.7

8.3, 9.3, 11.0 and 13.0 yes- all constantly uptiered

My experience is

9.7, 10.7, 11.7, 12.7 get the least full.uptiers
Why? Who knows.

Id put my life on 10.7 playing 10.3- 11.3 70% of games. Full uptiers 20%. The rest 10%

Also confirms… that i see 12.0 way more playing 11.0 then 11.3.

Just double checked this.

Its currently 11.8 STR but should be aorund 13.8 at about 75% fuel. (which is more than you would probably ever take for ARB) so you should be able to outperform an F-5C in a rate right even if the F-5s dont get nerfed

That may be my issue. I tend to play WT later in the evenings.

  1. Small samples don’t guarantee that they can in general.
    I gunned down a few MiG-29 and F-16A while I flew Tonka,
    But, it doesn’t mean that [MiG-29 and F-16A are bad jets, and if you lose while flying Tonka, it is a skill issue].

  2. If the enemy is bad enough, you can kill it.
    As someone else explained before.

Because I have better stats than yours on Harriers? :P
(Disclaimer: Mine is a small sample, so I may need to play more to compare directly)

To me, it seems that you just don’t want to admit that you blundered about the flight characteristics of F-5, and want to boil it down to an argument between skill issues.

Non-Americans don’t guarantee that their skill are better.
I saw many MiG-21Bison, which bombed the base with their ZB-500
And you could see Non-American F-5, which plays badly bc there are some variants which can also be accessed via event or payment. (F-5A/G, F-5E ECU or NF-5A can be examples)

474

Well obviously it wasn’t just the F-5s being bad as it happened with non American F-5s aswell.

So because I can kill an F-5 that means I got its flight physics wrong? Sureeeee

I should’ve added ‘your claim for’ part to get rid of your quote mining.

Look up.
