Why is F-5C at 11.0

Btw, flares on F-5C are same as flares on MiG-23(M, MF, ML, MLA)

Why would this matter in Air RB?

Same as the Magic 2’s, right? or are you talking about another plane?

It everyone got what they could get it would be a total shitshow with vehicles from the 50s in with 70s vehicles and so on

The Mirage 3C gets magic 1s. I was talking about how it could mount AIM-9Ms because the French rails are backwards compatible with sidewinders.

The F-5C uses missiles as secondary kit, its primary kit is its guns in conjunction with its great agility and MER. Also, in the Vietnam war, the F-5C only served during 1965, back then the AIM-9E was the newest Sidewinder missile in operation by the Air Force. It never used AIM-9J’s in service, which came out a few years later.

F86F-25 should get its AIM-9B’s tho imo, they’re just AIM-9Bs lmao

With which models of sidewinder? Even 9X?

Theoretically yes if it has the same dimensions as prior models. I would need to research it tho.

Lol yeah if it mounted them in service I see no issue

Yes?

And thats why such additions are the exception and not the rule. We dont see every plane rocking the maximum theoretical weapons loudouts.

F-5C with flares is as a configuration just not that big of a leap. Id preffer if they gave a historically accurate depiction of some F-5C aircraft without flares, as thats the configuration it had. But alsonidk how people would take a F-5C without flares at a BR similar to the T-2

Then why do you keep wasting my time?

I clearly stated that i dont care if F-5C gets better missiles nor support it, i talked about how rails could support multiple variants of Sidewinders which is true.

Show me an accurate sources where it states it can.

You kept claiming French rails are compatible with all sidewinders but i dont see any credible sources aside from some claims.

it never did, the F-86F-40 was the first Sabre to get the AIM-9B. If you want an American Sabre with AIM-9B’s, that would be the F-86H

4x AIM-9Bs

2x Magic 1s

You can find images of both on other frech jets. There are no documents because of French 50 years of secrecy.

Ah ok nvm

I find flares acceptable on the F-5C because it would be a lower BR without them. Save the 9.Xs lol.

Yeah i dont care about single photo since those Crusaders bought from Usa and its possible that it was taken before domestic modifications.

Im asking an official documents that states french rails are compatible with all sidewinder models.

If you dont have anything other than some random photos then dont waste my time please

Read my posts thanks
