The Kfir Canard should get Python 3's or an all aspect IR guided missile

I am not saying it is bad at all it is just that, I think it has a harder time to compete at 11.0

22

close there are small differences, in short:
added chaff and flare dispencers
added canards (hence name) for better low speed performance

it was upgrading the airframe too c.2 standard but not much else

Can the Canard really only hold 2 air to air missiles at a time?

Did you use it as B-17 💀

33

In Israeli service, Kfir C.1s were mostly retired by the time the Python III was in widespread usage. There have been a few cases of Kfir RC.2s carrying AIM-9Ls, and as far as I know all the Kfirs had compatibility with the LAU-7 launch rail, however I don’t think that would be enough to even hint at the Kfir C.1 being able to get AIM-9L

34

I find it quite usable. You can take 2 drop tanks while carrying enough bombs to kill one base. After you bomb you have just the perfect amount of fuel to fight. You can then enter the fight at terrific speed and snipe 1 or 2 enemies with the AIM-9G.

35

Two drop tanks? If you mean the ones with the bomb load on the wing tips, they don’t give additional fuel last I checked, though it’s good that you’re happy with the aircraft’s performance nonetheless.

36

Yeah sadly those drop tanks arent considered drop tanks to gaijin, only the one slung under the fusalage is

37

Oh geez. I’ve certainly not noticed. In fact it’s hard to believe because supposedly I optimized my loadout very carefully, and ended up using the underbelly tank and one wing tank under the left wing with two bombs. I’ll check when I get home.

Edit: They indeed contain no fuel…

I’m thinking the same thing . One pylon for aam should hold 2 missiles. 2 pylons makes it 4 so I think that would be great, dunno if it really held only 2 aam’s. Aim-9g is decent for “tunnel vision “ enemy players .

And then there are other premium jets:

German Lazur-M — up to 6 aam.

SU-22M4 — up to 6 aam

For an example .

This is not a whining post , but just an opinion.

Should Kfir Canard have 2 or more aam.
Current BR ain’t that bad. Gotta learn the plane and adapt.

39

At least it should be 10.7br

Israel suffers like hell.

Merkavas effed up with armor,
Kfirs need replacement .

Kfir c2 should be premium and canard in tt in mu opinion .
As c10 is event prize.

Kfir C2 can’t be a premium. There’s a good reason event aircraft aren’t premium vehicles above a certain rank; it attracts the wrong mentality.
As for BRs, Kfir C2 is correctly 11.7.
And Kfir Canards’ equivalents are all 11.0, not 10.7.
