The F-5C is no longer good

The thing is, at speeds bellow 800kph it can put dog fight pretty much most super sonics at its br, the thing is still a mig 19, it just compress a lot more.

the specially the rudder.

The problem with MiG-19 was that it compresses a decent amount, so the A-5C compressing even more is terrible xD

The magics are still crap tho and most people including me uses 9Ps. Cause Magics barely catch plane when launched at 1.5km rear aspect, meanwhile with 9P i can do 3km launch and still get kill.

i never play the what? I literally linked my own videos of me one shooting three players with the gun.

the f5c’s signature is low because it has no engine power.

agreed, after the huge drag nerf on missiles they boo boo fr.

Mongaroth is known for throwing ad hominems and start their first response as “another copium post”. They should just take the f-5c out and see how much the flight and damage model has changed. No longer pulls, no longer retains energy while pulling. It was BS enough to one circle mig21s at high speed, now it cant barely do it against the mig19.

The only reason the F-5C is not overperforming stat wise is because it is a premium plane a lot of new players buy.
Those players drag the stats of the F-5C into the ground, because they don’t know how to play in the higher BRs. But that is the case with every high BR premium.

And if the plane isn’t overperforming, then how is it that you perform way better in the F-5C than in any other plane you fly?

Engine power and IR signature is 2 different things,…

we don’t talk about stats, we talk about a plane with two deflating balloons per engines and two 10g missiles against planes that can go mach 1.15 in the deck, accelerate like a phantom and missile you six times.

We don’t say the zero is OP, we say it’s a bad prop, slow, bad climb rate, no engine power but good pull and great flat energy retention; why doesn’t this apply to the f-5c? You carry all the privileges to disengage. Unless you’re uptiered against it you don’t have any worries, if you die to an f-5c is because you’re slow and distracted or had to dogfight it because there was no other option.

yes they are, still the f-5 has tiny engines, do you expect it to produce a lot of heat? the gripen and the tigershark have the same issue. Small engines. And when the f-18 gets added it will also have a cold signature.

Already answered and you ignored it,… stop trollling if you don’t wanna see answers.

bel you’re the one wordsmithing your way and constantly twisting the narrative to make yourself appear right

What is your point?
You say the F-5C is no longer good, still it is your best performing jet?
And then you post an ace +1?

Make up your mind.

Because i’m fairly good at it I can understand what it’s weaknesses and strengths are.

Same for sea fury, it’s my highest scoring prop in my account and it’s dogwater.

By your own logic, Defyn, probably the best known player of wt should never say that some planes are bad.

producing less heat doesn’t mean that the temperature of the exhaust has to be lower… the size matters there.

MTI is still chaff resistant

Glad to finally see the little thing dead and buried

YOU are the one with superb energy retention

This is just false, no plane at 10.3 can carry 4 30Gs except for slow/unmanuverable striker aircraft. Last time I checked the Yak-38 or A-10 didn’t have flight performace of a F-16.

I’ve had F-5Cs catch up to me in a full speed Tornado. F-5s don’t suffer because one MiG-23 ran away from you.
