fltsimbuff Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I wanted to answer it looks like an F-5... but I guess that would be rude :D I don't know... It looks kind of like a Mig-28 to me. 1
Firebird1955 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Oh, and quad 20mm cannons with over 1000 rounds of ammo.:joystick: Hmmmmm The ones I worked with had 2 20mm M39 single barrel guns... Where did they hide the other two?

Bailee Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Hmmmmm The ones I worked with had 2 20mm M39 single barrel guns... Where did they hide the other two? Two M39:thumbup:
Slipp Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Yes, and also radar, AIM-9's, AGM-65's, and various bombs/rockets. Oh, and quad 20mm cannons with over 1000 rounds of ammo.:joystick: Could F-5E carry Mavs? :O

King_Hrothgar Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Hmmmmm The ones I worked with had 2 20mm M39 single barrel guns... Where did they hide the other two? Ah yeah, my mistake, it's only two. Not sure why I was thinking 4 at the time...

ben_der Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Hope they put one on the Eastern Side, name it Mig-28 and give it the Black Paintjob with the Red Star on the Tail by default :smartass:

Slipp Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Yes it can :) It seems that the new ED model has many new weapons that can be carried by F-5E, including LGB-12. But Mav is not one of them.

I dont know much about the f-5 but i was also under the impression it could carry mavs. Logical conclusion would say that it can carry laser guided mavs wich arent modeled in DCS

ED Team NineLine Posted October 2, 2015 ED Team Posted October 2, 2015 I don't know much about F-5 either, but where is the laser hiding that will guide said weapon? Does it need someone lasing the target? Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
SimFreak Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Does it need someone lasing the target? That's one way to solve the problem. Such a close support with ground team requires too much coordination...IMHO of course. Also given that first laser guided maverick was released around ~1985...and aircraft is early 60's design....
McBlemmen Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 I don't know much about F-5 either, but where is the laser hiding that will guide said weapon? Plenty of aircraft use laser guided weapons without being able to lase them themselves. I think modifying the hud software a little to show a mav targeting reticule is easyer then installing a display that can show the IR image. (Though like i said earlyer i dont know much about the f5 and am not sure if it already has MFCD's or not)
King_Hrothgar Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 As it stands, the AI F-5E in game can use AIM-9P/M, Mk.82/83/84, GBU-12, Rockets (7 or 20 pack), fuel tanks and travel pods. One of the more interesting configurations is 5x Mk.82's on a fuselage rack. I'm uploading a brief video of it right now, will edit it in once done. Also, the original F-5E's to roll off the factory used optically guided AGM-65A/B's. I don't know how they aimed them, probably with the HUD but that's just a guess.

Oh yeah i honestly didnt think about being able to use optical mavs by just using the hud to aim it.. it doesnt need an mfcd at all really

(Though like i said earlyer i dont know much about the f5 and am not sure if it already has MFCD's or not) IIRC the F-5Es that could carry mavs had a variant of the radar display could also be used to target Mavericks.

McBlemmen Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Ah ok that's that then. Getting ready for dcs f-5 !

(Though like i said earlyer i dont know much about the f5 and am not sure if it already has MFCD's or not) I'm not sure how that is effective means of employing this aircraft. If they attach a weapon to my aircraft that I can not guide, that provides way too many limitation. Especially when weapon is designed primary against tanks. So to make it effective I need to coordinate where I need to release said weapon, on what frequency it is guided and at what time guided laser will turn on while other aircraft (wingman or other flights) are trying to do same. So IMHO, it's a nice toy to have in a very limited conflict where prior coordination has been accomplished in such a way that enemy cannot have a say in your plan. btw, this is not if it can be used, but more of why would someone employ such strategy with so many limfacs. Sorry for offtopic
fixen Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 I dont see an MFD, I see a radar display. Can't it be used for other things aswell, like nav and mav (which would make it a Multi Function Display)?
