Me when the jet that has 4x all-aspect missiles and upgraded engines instead of just 2x rear-aspect ones and 2x weak engines is only 0.3 BR higher

[@DatFatThor]

So the F14B and F14A?

[@magicianGOD]

You mean f5c should be 0.3 br lower?

[@thatoneguy1741]

Engine upgrade? I thought it had the same F5E engines

[@just_david]

@@DatFatThor This case it's different, F-5C has two dinky little engines and only 10G rear-aspect 9Es, while F-5E FCU has two decently strong engines and 4x all-aspect missiles, so a BR increase of just 0.3 is not enough. F-14A has strong engines and great missiles, and F-14B has a bit stronger engines and a tiny bit better missiles, so a 0.3 BR increase makes sense. Basically what I'm saying here is that the BR difference between F-5C and F-5E FCU should be greater than just 0.3

[@Teser]

Upgraded engines? It's same as f5 at 10.7

[@SpriGgEx]

i rarely get downtiers at 11.3, more like 75% to 80% uptiers to 12.0 or 12.3 Therefore it wouldnt make such a difference for me, since i would face alot of All Aspects and SARH Missiles. BUt it beeing the same BR as a JA35XS is total Bollocks. And yeah there is something odd going on with IR Missiles currently going total off course for no reason every now and then or going after another missile not even close to the center of the seeker head.

It is the same br as the JA37C which is fair bcs that plane got radar missiles and a cracked flight performance. I think the reason this didnt go up to much is because it doesn't get radar missiles and is fairly slow.

[@lunarcultist6214]

@@kizvy It's only "okay" as far as ballistics go, the damage is very inconsistent, and you only get 60 rounds, meaning you need to have extremely precise aim to make more than two gun kills without reloading. The gun used to compensate for low ammo with its one-tap potential, but realshitter crippled it and it never fully recovered. Compare that to F-5's guns that let you simply spray the target until it dies, and if you're precise, you can easily wipe out 5+ enemies with your guns, provided you get the opportunity.

its funny to me because the jh-7a, a plane with roughly the same missile set and the only real advantage being it can go over mach 1 on the deck is 12.3, a whole br above the fcu when the fcu is arguably better in a dogfight with much better guns.

[@egarecoyote1581]

This is the best plane Japan has above 9.0. And if this is the one plane that is skewed a bit more op then let Japan have its fun with a squadron vehicle. If this stayed 11.0 then it would be a bit too good. 11.3 is fair for this plane imo. I can admit that it has much better weaponry than other F5 ease at a very similar battle rating, but your video proves that even with the extra missiles, the best weapon is still the guns. There is a python 3 sweet spot from 2-1.5 km where flaring is less than 50%, but if you are outside of that then it’s still one flare to defeat all of your missiles. I wonder if this plane opens the door for future F5E upgrades, we could also get the SCU with aam4s! That could be interesting. Imagine and F5 @ 12.7!

The F-5C *SHOULD NOT* have gone to 11.0. 10.7? Ok fine, but not 11.0. Because Aim-9e at 11.0 is actual trash. And the problem with the 5c is that is weaker in engine power than all the other F-5’s (except maybe the A, which also should not have gone to 11.0) meaning the moment you strap the lightest of loads to that things belly it’s like strapping a bus to it and the performance Suffers greatly.
