Have a good day, continue to have issues with the F-5 then, idk what else to tell you.
Issues you do also have, since your client isn’t rigged to be special.
And at what BR?
11.7.
Or give it only the 9P-4, AN/APQ-159, and lift it to 11.3 in RB and max. 11.7 in Sim.
IRCCM on an F-5 at 11.7? No thanks.
I mean if you use them properly they are perfectly fine. 20g overload is nice and they have great acceleration. You aren’t supposed to just fling missiles off at anyone you see at any distance
9P-4 then.
IRL, the 9P-4 are only used for training purposes in Switzerland (smokeless motor and IRCCM of 9P-5 is not an issue for training…), the 9P-5 would be wartime ammo.
Yes… 9J is fine… not 2x of them

Normandy just simply hates U.S. planes and wants em all nerfed for some reason. The more you’re on the forums the more you see he does not care about balance in the slightest.

I didn’t want to make you angry earlier, I agree with you, the F-5 IR signature should be fixed, just like the IR signature of every other plane.
I’m an extremely average player, but my two of my most played planes are the A-5C and the AMX, which are 2 10.7 attackers, that basically get most of their kills by third partying, I faced lots of F-5, and I hardly had any trouble locking them, yes, the lock comes a bit later at times, but that isn’t that impacting considering you’ll hardly kill anything if you launch above 3-4km. I’ve never played really long range IR missiles like the R-27ET, maybe with those it is more difficult to lock, idk. Anyway I don’t think the F-5 needs to be buffed with better missiles, or raised in br, I think they are pretty much all balanced, epecially because they don’t have super OP missiles and require a bit of skill to be used effectviely. Unfortunately in downtiers they tend to dominate but that is a thing with most planes due to compression.
I’m still of the belief that around that br there are planes like the J7D, the Viggen, or the MiG-23ML/MLD, which have decent airframes and OP missiles and are much more oppressive in downtiers and easier to use.

Watch. The. Video. it. is. Timestamped.
9Ls easily reach out this far, so do PL-5Bs
r-24t can go out to like 8km with no issue as well

Bit off-topic but
I never knew that Cyrano IV radar, which isn’t PD, is [very good radar] compared to
AI.24 Foxhunter or AN/APG-59…
Also, F1C needs to share the same BR with 2K-CS5…

Yes, ok, I watched it and it was what I was expecting. But in actual matches I don’t remember having trouble getting a lock. Now I have only used the PL-5B on the J-8B or on the J-7E and not a lot, so maybe I haven’t met a lot of them but I think I even managed to get +4km locks on F-5, again, idk, but ofc their IR signature should be fixed and there should be a whole IR rework too.
Edit: I tested a bit and to me it seems that if they have the afterburner on, the missiles locks, if it’s off it doesn’t lock above 2km. Weird I never noticed, obviously it should be fixed.
thats only a thing with EXTREMELY hot aircraft. thats an outlier.
are we sure it was an aim9m? afaik aim9ls were still around during desert storm
in what universe is the f106 trash, it has 4 bad missiles sure, its fast decently agile and has a vulcan, at 9.3.
