The F-5E has better flight performance, it’s just slower.
The F-5E FCU also exists, and it’s 11.3 (should be 11.7).
It’s better than the 21bis.

The Mig-21s turn and accelerate faster aswell. Even if they didn’t, If I had a plane that’s very fast, has great turning, and has unflareable missiles, I wouldn’t exchange the missiles and speed for some slightly better turning and EEGS.
Are you referring to R-60Ms as “unflareable”?
Unflareable? Pl-5s are not very flare resistant and r-60s have 0 flare resistance.

PL-5s physically cannot be flared at close distances even when your engine has been off for the past minute.
R-60Ms are a whole other can of beans. Su-25s are already enough trouble at 10.3 for flareless planes, but Mig-21 being just 0.7 higher, again with one of the best FMs at its BR is complete BS.
R60M’s are unflareable?
GREAT JOKE.

You can’t flare an AIM-9B if it’s close enough, this is common knowledge. If you use the free look key and look behind you you’ll be safe.

Ikr. It’s pretty fitting for him to say it though.
lmao
Why use the su-25 as an example? The a-10 is at the same br with much better missiles. You can out run a r-60 if its fired at 2km or more rear-aspect. The su-25 is not very good if you play right.
Its true, if a missile is to close to the plane where it cant physically see the flares, it will not go for them
You said it?

R-60Ms pull way harder off the rail.
SidewaysCube946 is the only one here who’s called R-60s unflareable.
Quote me where I said that
And? Dont get close to the su-25 and your fine. A-10 has a much bigger kill zone for flareless planes than the su-25 does.

But sure, you didn’t say that.

A-10A is easier to deal with since its misiles are easier to deal with. Aim-9Ls are barely even a threat, and not a threat at all if you have uguided rockets.
You’re the first person to even make a mention of it.
Yes they are abit scary. I’ve died multiple times from looking infront of me for a couple seconds to avoid crashing, and in that time frame, that lucky teabagger fired their Red Top. The red little fuckers are fast.
Really?
So are you referring to the R-13M, R-3S or R-3R here?
Bro what? Aim-9ls are objectively better than r-60s.
Same goes for r-60s, but 9ls have much better flare resistance.

The J-7, Bing Chilling’s Mig-21.
Aim-9Ls have longer range, but R-60Ms turn harder, ESPECIALLY right off the rail.
Better flare resistance? Yes. Better unguided rocket resistance . . . somehow no?
I’m guessing it’s just some Gajin BS to make the R-60M curbstomp in downtiers harder.
Which has the PL-5B, PL-7 and PL-2. The PL-2 is an AIM-9B, the PL-7 has the same FoV as most other rear aspects and the PL-5B has an FoV 0.1 better than that, but still 0.4 worse than the Red Top. So according to your line of thought Red Tops must be giga-unflareable missiles.
