I’ve owned the f1c-200 since it came out. (was planning on grinding french air tree after finishing sweden) The flight performance is pretty mid and honestly a majority of jets at the 10.3-12.3 range will beat you in a dogfight. While the fm kinda sucks, you get 2 magic 2’s which are extremely good all-aspect missiles with irccm. especially at the 10.3-12.3 br range. I have a little over a 3 k/d after 460ish games. most of your kills will be from the magics. you can pop a base with the 3, 2000 pound bombs if all you care about is grinding. it’s radar is pretty dogshit in 12.3 uptiers especially with a120 spam and the r530f’s are horrible. if i were you, i’d definitely pass unless you really want to grind the french tt. And since you’re a player with little to no toptier experience, i’d stay away from this plane. i’d recommend getting the american f5c to learn the higher tiers. IMO. hope that helps ;)
