Why is the NF-5A at 10.7 while F5-E is at 11.0?

I already know the answer but I wanna hear the copes


Overall, they come close in performance (NF-5A has a slight edge), but the NF-5A performs significantly better where it actually matters (dogfight). It has the same A2A armament and double CM.
Go on, say “mUh rAdaR”, and before someone even dares to mention the ballistic computer—first, it doesn’t matter in air battles, and second, it’s bugged and doesn’t even work on the F5-E.

Either F5-E goes down to 10.7 or NF-5A goes to 11.0

Isn’t the J-7D also at 10.7 with a significantly better missile complement and CMs? F-5E deserves to go down to 10.7 or something similar

I agree, the J-7D is OP

I think it would probably be healthier to instead of compressing the BRs to instead move the J-7D and NF-5A to 11.0

The NF-5A is very blatantly undertiered at 10.7, alongside the J-7D and ROC F-5A. Blame Gaijin for putting it at 10.7 despite it not being much worse than the F-5E, and blame Gaijin again for BR compression.

Oh we’re blaming gaijin for all this mess alright, but agreed all three should stay together somewhat

Cuz premium

snail wants their valuable customers))) to get some advantages over tech tree peasants

better compare it to f-5a (thai or american), the comparison will be even wilder

All F-5s are in a desperate need for a good round of nerfing (FM is too good and their engines dont produce any heat)

EEGS is an advantage the F-5E but does seem to have equal AAM. So yes, Should be 11.0 compared to most 10.7s

F-5E would be extremely strong/overpowered again at 10.7.

wait until you see that F-5E and MiG-23MLD are the same BR in sim for some reason (and F-4E is 2 steps lower for some reason too)

That’s just soviet mains being bad at the game / Devs making sure soviets are OP. based upon the BR of several aircraft in SB, the Mig-23MLD could easily be 12.0

Absolutly agree. NF-5A same br as F-5A\C but with +10G to rockets, more thrust, more climbing speed and +30 high caliber countermeasures. Overall it is better than F5E’s

F5-E should be 11.7

What’s the point of dragging this post up other than to bait people?

It should be it’s too strong in a down tier. 100% should be a MAUS at 11.7 where it’s strong on a 10.7 and worthless at 12.7

I think we need decompression rather than just raising one jets br. 8.7br-14.7br is incredibly compressed at the moment in my opinion.

raise it now and decompress it later.

I get the decompression stuff but Gajin is known to raise BRs and let things die and the F5-E is in a place where it’s too strong in a downtier even at 11 and just need to die

It’s a good plane, but it’s nowhere near that good.

As a BR 11 phantom user it is too agile, too fast, and too good. It is the only one I see at BR 11 where they continue to team wipe it is simply too strong. Go look at my replays and you’ll see.
