F-5E

[@exhausting_thoughts]

I've always said in my group of friends that the F-5E is the owner of the low-bracket Rank VII, and im quite satisfied that the plane is finally getting the recognition it deserves.

[@j.2977]

isn't the f-5e like the most played vehicle in air rb? and have been for a long time?

[@sevenshooter2987]

​​​@@j.2977 that would be the F5C, it overshadows the F5E because the F5C is a premium

[@christophermalthe1818]

The kfir will eat your ass

[@SteelxWolf]

Its a sleeper, showing it ofd will nerf it into a higher BR eventually

[@exhausting_thoughts]

​@@SteelxWolf As far as i respect that take, i honestly think that is good to let people know that there are some good planes out there to be played regardless of potential nerfs or even buffs, and escape the mainstream vehicles as the US phantoms or the 2nd Crusader.

[@druginducedfeverdream1613]

The F5, especially the E variant, are the Lotus of the fighter jet world. The size and weight make it a difficult target to hit, and the fact it can go mach 1 is a huge advantage over the only other decent dogfighter you're going to fly against, the F8; which, although on the stat card has a top speed of 2k+km/hr, it struggles to go past mach 1 and rips easy at high speed. The F8 though, is the only thing I've flown that's managed to counter the F5 consistently. The AIM9-D and the unique 9-C give very easy kills

[@kovs-gg8wt]

I mean the F8-E struggles to rip wings, but it doesn't turn as well as the u2

[@brendensmithmusic278]

F8e is a beast the best chance you have for beating one is getting into a turn fight and still itll be close. It is far more maneuverable than you expect and has great guns. You forget they have 9cs or dont py attention to the variant of f8 and try to get into a head on just to see the missile pop last second lol. Love it over the prem f5c for that reason. Also its a missile bus compared to f5 but f5e is great agm

[@hamzaterzi8801]

I played with 9.7 to 10.7br in the first ~400 matches. My win rate was around +70%. Then something happened and I started entering 11.3br matches all the time. It's not a problem for me, but it's still fun. By the way, don't refuel the plane for 30 or 36 minutes. It negatively affects turn time, acceleration and top speed. 10 to 20 minutes of fuel is best. If you don't use afterburner all the time, there is no problem.

[@saabportly7487]

nah you will always run out if you use anything below 30 minutes, because you need to be on full afterburner to maximize the thrust-to-weight ratio. the reason you've been getting uptiered more is because 12.3 was added, meaning 11.3 gets downtiered more often (especially since air superiority)

[@hamzaterzi8801]

​@@saabportly7487 I have nothing to say about the last one... Anyway, I also use afterburner in dogfights. It doesn't need to be on all the time. For example, don't open it until you get to the middle of the map. I noticed the situation like this: When I loaded fuel for 36 or 30 minutes, the F-5C, F-5A/E (China) were faster than me. When I tested it with 10 to 20 minutes of fuel, I noticed the difference was tremendous. You can also say: I fuel up for 30 minutes and have 10 to 20 minutes left until the middle of the map. But from what I noticed, the fighter accelerates and maneuvers as if it had 30 minutes of fuel, even though it had 10 minutes of fuel left (doesn't change).

[@Vrikgwyn]

@@hamzaterzi8801 i do 30 mins of fuel and im always the spearhead of my team lol

[@hamzaterzi8801]

​@@Vrikgwyn Okay, then I am the president of Turkiye.

[@jayklink851]

I found 20 minutes of fuel works quite well for the F-5E and Mig 21-SMT, as long as you use 1/3 or 1/4 afterburner. Easily goes super sonic, yet still gives 15-22 minutes of afterburner.

[@wolfaja755]

I used to play the p51 with the 20mm a lot and it taught me trigger discipline. With the f5e I rarely get low on ammo in the guns even after 5 gun kills just because their fire rate isn’t the best and you only have two sharing 560 rounds of ammo. The missiles are alright but in my opinion this plane at 13 min of fuel is a beast in dogfights as long as you don’t make a big mistake. Generally being fast is the best in this plane however it’s turning capability around 600kmh is pretty good in a rate against most players. I typically just find myself third partying until I get a little lower on fuel then I pick single off targets or a small group of players to kill.

[@Hoffmatic]

The greatest jet in the whole game. I didn’t realize that I wasn’t actually having fun playing this game for years untill I got the F-5. Almost 1k games now. Honestly I should upload my clips of my 1v6 gunfights, and when I’ve killed 2 people with their own team’s missiles in a single game.

[@mlc9928]

Ok billy bad ass.

[@the_onionman]

Got a talisman for it during the November sales and haven't looked back since. Lovely little jet

[@loicalex]

Most enjoyable flight model with the J-7E. Pure definition of fun.

[@Tiiliroskis]

I just got j7e and i have no idea how to play it. 11.0 is too overwhelming

[@loicalex]

@@Tiiliroskis ok, the J7E should be played like a mig 21, it's an ambush aircraft. Get some decent altitude and dive on your targets. The double delta wings on the J7E gives it much better energy retention in turns tho. In short the J7's a great dogfighter, probably the best 1v1 fighter below top tier. Very enjoyable but don't dogfight too early in the game. It has terrific rear aspect missiles, they're extremely fast with good range. Still the fact they're only rear aspect is an issue against uptier aircraft at this BR (F4S and MIG23 ML with radar missiles mostly). Getting altitude vs them is very risky, but not impossible, the J7E has a very potent RWR. Pre flare if needed. You can also play a much secure game flying low too and be more patient but less rewarding. Hope it helps

[@Tiiliroskis]

@@loicalex Altitude?? I thought its better to kiss the ground to avoid the radar rape? Yeah the missiles are weird but sometimes work well. I feel like it retains energy if you turn for short periods but if you do a big turn its all gone.

[@rancorusia]

10.7 saved this plane, 11.0 was too high

I’ll play it a ton so I can miss more easy shots 😎

[@alikafar4659]

FR this plane is great grinder, even more with talisman 🤩

[@SerosNym]

I binged 100 games in this thing to grind the f-16 and it was a total power trip. One of the very few vehicles where I felt I could handle any situation, it can either out-turn or out-energy everything it sees. The aim9j's are pretty underrated missiles too since they're not flashy with high range or g-load. They're the perfect definition of a workhorse missile -- they get the job done, even if the F-5 still at heart a gunfighter plane. A big part of its strength is definitely the matchmaker. There are some troublesome foes with very powerful weapons at 11.3 and 11.7, but those more likely get pulled up to max BR to feed the newest jets. The tiny IR signature and UFO-like agility and energy retention does make me wonder if 10.7 is too low for it... but agile planes with limited speed and weapons tend to get the most unjustified BR increases... so I don't know. It feels like too often already a plane's performance is dictated by how bad its uptiers are, and it's nice to have the occasional aircraft that isn't completely obsolete in a +1.0 game.

[@dontcallmeroly2031]

In my experience, if you rock a 9J or a 9P (they're the same anyway) from within 1 km they can very usually straight up ignore flares. And smack onto those wonderful afterburners.

[@Ramentheawsome]

oh dang, I didn't realize this plane went down in BR! I have to give it another shot, it used to be my favorite plane but I haven't played it in a while.

[@bpmgaming3351]

F-5E with aced crew is just nasty. It's my favorite plane I've flown in game since it got it's br reduction.

[@cornez4288]

i played th F-5E at 12.0 getting up tierd buy my friends, and i landed a solid ace with it, best plane for its br in the game in my opinion.

[@syizhar01]

Gotta Love the TNI-AU livery, its so beautiful and I can't wait to play with my F-5E

[@Melunitaro]

Such a gorgeous game. I wish I just didn't see it only from the ground battles but also from the air battles. With all that said I'm plannjng on installing it again. Which country and which line should I start with ?

[@natthaphongkhuanchanthuek1461]

I’am honestly say that I am really enjoying and personally pick to play F5E/ F5C or any flyable plane at 10-11BR morethane any other higher tier

[@kamiltaspinar3175]

Taking the extra gunpod is THE way to go in the F5E since it gets lead when radar locking!

[@iwalkmygoose7732]

the radar gun sight only shows how far you have to calculate for the bullet drop and if the plane is going up or down. I aim slightly ahead and slightly up of the middle of the enemy plane with radar gunsight and i hits almost everytime. Like aim a centimeter above their nose.

[@alpenfoxvideo7255]

could you also cover the F-4E and Kurnass in the recent MM?

[@saxxcn9413]

almost done with the reasearch for the 100d then going straight for this jet

[@Gekayos]

It wasn’t fun flying this against the mld for a bit but it has blossomed as of late

[@alankucar8025]

Everyone is talking about the F5C and F5E but what about the Chinese F5A? It's the same BR as the F5E but how does it fly? I like the look of the F5A more so I'm thinking about flying and spading it instead of the F5E.

[@shikikanaz4624]

It's literally a f5c with 2 9p's/j. I like the f5e better cause it's a direct upgrade, agm65b for ground, 30mm cannon, gun sight, better engine etc. The only thing f5a shines over f5e is more flares and carry more bombs

[@noahhuls]

F-5A has a lot less engine power

[@aleski6506]

I like the F5A more than F5E. Its literally just a C with 9Ps so its like 1000 kg lighter than the F5E. For me its way easier to get guns on target and feels overall way more maneuverable and agile

[@kipanz6649]

I know I’ve already asked you this during a live stream… but can you do a video on the SU-25k? Seeing how it is at 10.3

[@kylellrc799]

The F-5E with a talisman is what got me through grinding top tier

[@crazygone5107]

VI'm sorry i know I'm not normal but the F5E, F4E, A7D, A7E, F111A, A4E, F4C will never leave my hangar without their gunpods. The F5-E is still unbelievably nimble still while having the. 30mm pod and 2x AIM 9s. Both the F5s cannons are accurate but not the hardest hitting and the pod puts ALL that to bed along with the opposing team. Get them in close and snipe from about 2.5 km away. Once you get good you find yourself laughing a good amount of the match in disbelief how fast the .30mm completely rips there plane apart of just one hits him with that snipe. 20mm cannons rounds seem to not be able to hit the fat away giving you a nice advantage on any tool trying to head on with you. The A7E and D are absolutely disgusting rocking two of those. 30mm pods plus it's Vulcan. 42.35k+ kg/sec burst.... Yup

[@nirvand7431]

[@mamarussellthepie3995]

The F5 alike the F16, is one of those jets where if you understand that you are death incarnate, you pretty much just need to bring more gas to stay in the fight longer xd Let's just hope the F5G and F20 aren't just unobtainable event vehicles so they can be used by literally anyone xd The F5E also has a huge advantage in ground attack during Ground RB due to it's mavericks being boresighted with the nose of the plane. Ideally though, even with the downward angling of other planes such as the A10/F16, you should be able to pre-set the boresight irl to the centerline of your plane, but alas this is impossible in wt 🙄 Thus, the F5 is for the most part superior in maverick attacks due to simplicity of aiming and larger and more obvious locking ability mavericks in third person. . . You are then really only limited by how many you can take and how fast you can spam your mavericks without having to dance your nose around to compensate for missiles that angle down xd

[@williewilson2250]

You can actually set a target point or something like that and it'll be the 4 corner red box thing that pops up to show that you designated that as a set target point, any guided munitions or targeting systems besides aam will be slaved to that spot and is also used for ccrp bombing

F-5E is probably the only “balanced” 8.7+ plane, it doesn’t suffer against 11.0/11.3/11.7 but at the same time it’s not that scary to face in 9.7-10.0 planes as to face F-16 in MiG-21bis or to face Su-27 in Tornado/F-4S

The BRs need to be decompressed big time. F-4 can’t compete with the top tier and at the same time is too much for its down tiers.
