Well, let’s begin with the fact it’s a mig21MF with more countermeasures and less drag, hence faster, and it has 11.0 missiles, why does it have to stay at 10.7? How does it compare it to the f-5c which has two 9.3 missiles and relies on people taking the fight? I’m not saying the f-5c is bad, i’m saying that the j7d is being a serious plague, i see around 5 to 9 j7d’s every match. That’s like 28 35g missiles every match.

I am not saying its balanced or not bc I haven’t played it And I wont give opinions based on other peoples performance. What I can say tho is that it has rear aspect missiles only which you can just flare.
practically uncaged 8.0 missiles
You can say that for most missiles at that BR even on all-aspect ones.
yes, but it has possibly a top 3 rear aspect IR missile and it’s 10.7. That makes no sense when combined with the fact the platform its on is highly competitive at 10.7 as well. (Being a buffed MiG-21MF/SMT)
this is cope

Is it good enough for 11.0? maybe, but is it some OP “pest”? defiantly not. Its just a slightly better Mig-21fm, in dog fights f-5s, f8us and Drakens run circles around it, and its missiles are incredibly easy to flare so a real fight is down to guns and flight performance and for 10.7 it isn’t the best at all let alone OP
I would’ve agreed with this post if OP was not underrating F-5C
If OP consider J-7D as ‘pest’
Both F-5C and J-7D are pests, and both need to be got rid of.
Then, Buff F-5C’s missile with AIM-9J and take that shitty ‘9.3 missile shield’ off ffs.
If we consider other F-5C equivalents which has AIM-9J/P, giving it AIM-9J wouldn’t be a problem.
Just ignore the fact that F-5Cs in USAF were retired before using AIM-9J. because it was also faster than getting CM.
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t say that J-7D needs to stay 10.7 because of F-5C
BOTH need to be removed from 10.7BR.
Tired of topics that always become a warzone between F-5C main and J-7D main.

9E’s uses the same engine as 9P, its just limited to 11 g’s, so its a bit better then 9b.
i don’t even have or need or would ever get the F-5C just letting you know
yeah i know but i said "practically " because the motor difference is very small
9b and 9e motor change is quite substantial actually
and that becomes even more true as target manouvers
Yes
there is still more profit to be made with j7d, after that they will break his legs, don’t worry
actually 9E range is longer mainly because it has a less draggy nose (9E motor is only 4.85% stronger (17263N (9B) vs 18100N (9E)) but 9E is also 5.32% heavier than 9B)
both can only hit AFK targets flying in a straight line btw if they turn they miss
