Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the Mirage 3C CAN mount AIM-9Ms. It never did though. So it wouldn’t be historically accurate.

I dont know if you noticed but according to Gaijin’s Logic if certain vehicle or weapon system does support multiple variants then its entirely possible to add it.
Like it or not the rails on F5C support multiple variant of Sidewinders, including All-aspect ones.
Also just because i pointed something doesnt mean you should act like total douchebag.
I’m not being a douchebag, I’m giving reasons as to why having all aspect missiles on the F-5C is a terrible idea for balance. Just because it can doesn’t mean it should. The flares in the F-5C are fake. Even though it could mount them, it never did. Thus they are ahistorical and fake.
In case you didnt noticed i only talked about techinicalty, never said anything about adding better missiles.
Well that didnt stopped Gaijin to adding multiple ahistorical stuffs.
For balance purposes. While the flares may be ahistorical I support their addition because it helps boost its BR so it doesn’t terrorize planes at a lower BR anymore.

Yes and?
Have fun trying to dodge that in a subsonic flareless plane :)
Could ≠ Should
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.
