The A-7D Is Balanced

I wasn't going to pay the A-7D Corsair II much mind, at least until I saw it got AIM-9Js and over 100mm of pen on its 30mm GAU-13 gunpods. I don't think any 8.3 aircraft should be fighting an aircraft equipped with AIM-9Js, even if the Corsair's performance is pretty mediocre. It could just have 9Es and it would be fine. It's not as broken as the Harrier GR.1, and my stats in it aren't as inflated as they were in the GR.1, mostly due to the fact that I was fighting against them a lot (and because I would crash a lot trying to provide CAS). I guess the upside is that, if you do come up against a A-7D, you only have to dodge two 9Js instead of potentially four SRAAMs.
