This plane is great. One of my friends won a game in a 1v5 with the F-5E. First he had a 1v3 against a Draken, Mig 21, and a F-104. He won that engagement without taking any damage. Then, when he landed, A Mig-21 tried to strafe him on the Airfield. He took off, turned immediately and won the engagement. The last guy was a Mig-23 or a F-5E I think, I can’t remember. He got well over 70k SL. For a plane that’s not premium, that’s pretty good.

[@crashbandicootnerd4321]

If a Draken loses to a TigerShark WITH the help of teammates, then that Draken player was bad.

[@maurice7433]

The f5 has over buffed damage model that some times takes 2 missiles to put it down. The flares have been buffed so that r60s are immediately defeated even with afterburner still engaged. Aim9js and Es have been buffed to be resistant to flares. The speed retention is over buffed that you can completely turn around in Mach and still be supersonic. This is why it’s such a great plane at the moment. I have pulled more ace games in it than every jet I own. Even the bis. A nerf is coming, mark my words. Once the sales drop from the f5 GJ will restore balance. They do this every patch to get suckers to buy premiums. Veteran players know this already.

[@oneofkill]

@Jalopezlag I hope it will, maybe making 10k more repair? 🤷‍♀️ Since F5 doing all round good with those gun ammo-velocity, flares, and can keep up in turn that barely bleed as well as how fast it is. It just straight easy comparing to other plane at the moment.

[@maurice7433]

@Jalopezlag I am a USA tech tree player lol. I just have everything else. Yes the bis over performed when it came out. It has been nerfed to more historical standards as it should. Yea it flew way too fast on release. The 19 was stupid buffed at one point and remained that way. The difference is they are not premiums. Gaijin buffs the hell out of premiums and then nerfs them again when hype dies. They do this fore sales. As for the F5e. It will get a slight nerf. But it will largely remain the same. Cmon I know who you are in game. You have the same name. You are a veteran player. You know these thing happen every patch. The F5c will be nerfed and parts of the E not as much but a nerf is coming.

[@alphawolf1786]

@@maurice7433 no they can be stop with flares more easily than last patch as gaijin made flares alot stronger so alot of missles can easily be counter by flares at the moment it's reccomend to get around 1km for you're missle to have a higher chance on hitting the enemy

Why do people turn radar off sometimes?

[@timmy3822]

It means the enemy won't be alerted to which direction you're at, radars mean pings on their radar warning receiver which can be used to get a vector to you. In this case, he knows where hey are so has no need to keep the radar on. Gives him the potential to surprise them.

[@DEATHREAPER330]

@@timmy3822 ah ok thank you I didn't realize thats how it picked up the planes

[@timmy3822]

@@DEATHREAPER330 an RWR is essentially just a passive listening device (in a sense). It detects radar signals from other aircraft, ground based search radars or any other actively emitting source. It can even tell specifically what kind of SAM for instance or jet has you locked based off of their individual radar waves. It’s primary goal is to alert the pilot to attacks from radar guided weapons so SAM’s or AAM’s. It’s secondary purpose is to give situational awareness. Given the F-5E doesn’t have radar guided missiles he has no use for his radar except to locate threats. His RWR will tell him where radar emissions are coming from as I said before which allows you to develop an awareness of where threats are. So if you’re trying to be sneaky in top tier say on Korea turn that radar off and fly low by the mountains and pop up to surprise folks. One tip I’ll give you is if somebody is camping their airfield you can tell if they just have old style AAA or radar guided AAA/SAM’s by checking the RWR it’ll ping because it detects the radars, not all maps have SAM’s modelled on them yet so it’s important to know.
