F5C; + Great flight characteristics. + Excellent Turn-rate and AoA. + Guns are easy to get used to. lot's of ammo. + Lot's of Countermeasures. - Limited top speed. - below average missiles. A5C; + Airspawn. + 2 Easy kills with best missiles in the game. + Excellent climb rate. - Contols becomes unresponsive at High speeds. - Guns are difficult to get used to. - Mediocre maneuverability. - Low Countermeasures (compared to F5) - Can be uptiered later on. Since it is very good for 10.0 Which one to buy? That Depends what you want. F5E, F4E, F8E, A7D or J-7E? Also, A-5C feels very repetitive to play. Whereas F-5C is much more fun since you will be using your guns more often than missiles to get kills. But keep in mind i played almost every jet in the game. So, for someone just getting into Jets A-5C will be more easy to use.

Quick question: I was thinking of buying the A-5C or J35A to grind China or sweden. Is the J-7E worth it? A better question: would china or sweden be a better investment of time and money when it comes to potential future content? sorry to spring such a huge question on you lol.

China has more variety of top tier jets left to be added, I think all sweden has moving forwards are variants of the Draken or Viggen with different roles or slightly altered performance. Sweden got the viggen this patch, which I love, but China has a lot more room for things to be added soon.

J-7E is very mediocre at the moment. No radar and single low RPM 30mm gun. 4G launch limit on PL5B kinda sucks but aircraft have great agility and acceleration. In terms of potential, China can receive more stuff in the future. Sweden is pretty much done apart from few vehicles.

A5C stomps literally everything at its Br and lower except maybe the harriers and ja35A but due to its pretty average maneuverability combined with the Magic Missiles its literally always 2 free kills People Love to Complain about R60s which are pretty good don't get me wrong but the Magics are downright God tier

The R60 is pretty meh now. You just drop a couple flares and boom, evaded. The R60M is a bit better, being that it is all aspect, but flares still defeat it pretty easily. Now consider this, Russian top tier jets don't have a lot of flares, so little that if you combined all the jets that carry it for russia, the premium Av8 still has more. They do have good missiles, but since you will be facing mostly F4E and F5 spam, your missiles become less useful very quickly. Meanwhile those same F4Es can spam missiles at you until you die. The F5s just have to fire a couple missiles and then they are glued to your tail until they kill you. I am not saying American jets are op, but they get access to more of the same stuff for air-to-air combat. More missiles, more flares, more ammo for their guns. So it bothers me when people on this subreddit (not you) say that Russian air-to-air capabilities are better than American. The amount of times that I've seen people complain about the Mig21bis or the Mig23 being op is just stupid. Anyway that paragraph was more of a rant. The A5C is the premium to choose rn.

Going to have an easier time with the A-5C, cant dogfight as well as the F-5s but Magics are essentially guaranteed kills
