mattebubben Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Disappointing we won't get ILS in this version, would have loved to use it as a single seat trainer (cough cough release an F-5F please ;)) but it'll be a fun ACFT to fly anyways. A F-5F would be interesting. Especially if they went with a F-5F with AGM-65 capability.
Snoopy Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 The F-5E doesn´t have an INS, but it has an ILS. Some yes others no, just look at the dash one. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website
mattebubben Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) I so cant wait for this aircraft to be released =>. Im more Hyped For the F-5E then i am the F-18 or F-14. And even more hyped then i am for the Viggen. and as a swede the Viggen is one of my favorite aircraft ever!. But i just cant wait to fly the F-5E. Some more F-5 Cockpit cam footage.

Schmidtfire Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I hope that the early Aim-9B will be included. I've started gathering a small Vietnam-compilation-pack. With the Mig-19 and A7E mods. Liveries for the F-4 Phantom. Starways Vietnam textures. Light AAA pack. The Mig-19 is actually a solid AI opponent and a good addition to the Mig-21. Now I just have to wait for the F-5E release... :)

And even more hyped then i am for the Viggen. and as a swede the Viggen is one of my favorite aircraft ever!. But i just cant wait to fly the F-5E. My hypedness follows a similar pattern :). For me it goes like Viggen/F-5, about equal hype, followed by F-18, but first duo hypes me significantly more :). F-14 doesn't even make it to my personal most hyped list :music_whistling: Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script
Vincent90 Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Couple of questions about this module and scrolling 130 pages during my lunch break is a bit too much :P 1) Doesn't BST's F-5 have a radar? If so, then why Isn't there any radar guided stuff planned? 2) Will this module come with a campaign?
BobFlex Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Couple of questions about this module and scrolling 130 pages during my lunch break is a bit too much :P 1) Doesn't BST's F-5 have a radar? If so, then why Isn't there any radar guided stuff planned? 2) Will this module come with a campaign? 1) Yes it has a radar. It makes it significantly easier to track a target to WVR, provides weapon release cues, and gun pipper tracking. I don't believe the real F-5E's ever carried any radar guided weapons either, except for a custom model built to carry AIM-120s for a country who's name I can't remember right now. 2) I don't know for sure, but I imagine it will just maybe not right away. i5-6600K (4.7GHz) || Asus Z170-A || EVGA GTX 1080 FTW || 16GB Kingston HyperX Fury 2133 DDR4 RAM || Samsung 850 EVO, Seagate Baracuda 1TB || LG 27UD68 4k Monitor || TM Warthog HOTAS (serial 57210) || MFG Crosswind || HTC Vive A-10C | M-2000C | F-5E | UH-1H | Mig-21bis | F-86F | P-51D | FW-190D9 | FC3 | CA

R1Lawsy Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 So is the F5 a pretty equal opponent for the Mig 21 or is it still an easy victory as far as maneuverability, turn rate, weapons etc?
Guitrz Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 It should win in manueverability, but lose in acceleration and climbrate to the Mig, plus it only has 2 IR missiles and the cannons, so if you miss both missiles and the Mig goes rocket the fight is over [sIGPIC][url=http://www.blacksharkden.com][/url][/sIGPIC] http://www.blacksharkden.com "Come join us" - Bad Religion
MAD-MM Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 The Radar is far superior to the MIG21, the F5 is later build then MIG 21 Once you have tasted Flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your Eyes turned Skyward. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 9./JG27
Guitrz Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 But isnt the Bis a post 'nam model? Afaik the Tiger II was even used in the war [sIGPIC][url=http://www.blacksharkden.com][/url][/sIGPIC] http://www.blacksharkden.com "Come join us" - Bad Religion
WinterH Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 But isnt the Bis a post 'nam model? Afaik the Tiger II was even used in the war F-5 was used if I recall correctly, but our F-5 is later than that. For example F-16C can mean anything from 80s Block 25 to current Block 52+, which differ wildly. Our F-5E will have better RWR, better radar, and automatic maneuvering flaps compared to original F-5E. As for MiG-21Bis being post Vietnam, that isn't entirely true either. It did not serve in Vietnam war, but entered service in 1972. F-14A, which entered service in 1974 seem to have flown some patrols during final withdrawals from Vietnam. As for the matchup between MiG and F-5, it should be an exciting matchup. They have dissimilar advantages / disadvantages to one another. But I hope MiG will get fixed quickly. Since a few versions ago, it's flight model seem to have grown, well... eccentricities, and also it's radar doesn't seem to work anymore. Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script
mattebubben Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 But isnt the Bis a post 'nam model? Afaik the Tiger II was even used in the war The F-5E with the APQ-153 radar was used in the war by the South Vietnamese airforce. What we are getting is equipped with the APQ-159 radar aswell as a better RWR system. So this particular model / setup of F-5E did not see service. But the difference is all in Avionics the flight performance is the same as a the earlier F-5E.

Dudikoff Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 F-5 was used if I recall correctly, but our F-5 is later than that. Apparently, mostly the older A/B types got used in combat as the more sophisticated F-5E's were difficult to maintain for the SVNAF: http://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_fighters/f5_40.html i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg. DISCLAIMER: My posts are still absolutely useless. Just finding excuses not to learn the F-14 (HB's Swansong?). Annoyed by my posts? Please consider donating. Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar!

BTW, for the clarity, in my above quoted post, with a momentray lapse of brain, I forgot to add E. What I actually mean is, F-5E did operate in Vietnam but, our F-5E is later and more advanced than that particular F-5E. Also interesting seeing at some point in time, F-5 and MiG-21 served side by side, in same squadron :).
