US F-5E should get AIM-9P-4

Aren’t AIM-9Ps an export only missile?
Also all aspects migho get it moved to 11.3

And the SCU gets only 2 pythons at the same BR, but it has HMS too, so it could go either way

The Tornado is not a fighter

Pythons are crazy missiles tho, much better than P-4s. But honestly I don’t think the HMS amounts for much especially because the radar is useless and the missiles can’t be launched at high off-boresight.

Could you explain this chart please? I always see those but I can’t tell what they mostly mean. Does that mean the MLD matches the F-5E while pulling less Gs at the same speed or what?

the MLD has a better sustained turn radius (dotted line)

Problem is Gaijin doesn’t sweat the details, all aspect IR is just all aspect IR to them

They really should, they’re stupid. But ofc they rely on player stats alone to balance vehicles and put off every single bug report to make more 80 dollar premiums.
Thing is, they’d unironically make more money by fixing their game, but oh well

Ah ok, makes sense honestly, I can’t beat them in dogfights unless they make a serious mistake, and they can run away every time if they do.

Eh, not really, depends on target.

For instance 9/10 of my 9J’s completely ignore mig25’s flares if its afterburning and spamming flares in long series. Takes them by surprise more often than not.

Because you know, however minor flare rejection there is, when targeting two burning suns it starts to kick in.

18:00 2x AIM-9M flared

Woo, WT models IRCCM and flare rejection in general not 100% accurate to IRL. Big surprise.

F-5A is lighter

and F-5E has much more thrust

Which counteracts the extra weight, yes

not really


its a HUGE difference

they reaaly wont
average paypiggy will pay for 80+ dollar premiums regardless of bug fixing and historical reports acted upon

Yes but thrust is half the story, the other half is their weight; the F-5A tends to perform better in dogfights against me from what I’ve seen (particularly the NF-5A)

ah now i see why you thought what you thought

NF-5A is batshit insane OP, it has better engines than the F-5A at the same BR lmao (even outperforms the E in some cases)
doesnt change that F-5E has better flight performance, it actually pulls much better than the A because its wing is different

Yes, it’s not objectively better, it’s a tradeoff.

you are wrong

5E is better in every scenario at any speed
it literally turns better in any case and accelerates much faster
