F-5E Armament Upgrade Mod

[Krasniye]

It's worth noting that North Vietnamese captured F-5s were equipped with R-60s. Since I plan to do some North Vietnamese ops with my friends in the future will be an interesting mod.

That's good! Do you get a good ripple for the MER5 on the wing stations? I can drop them in single but in ripple they came off asymmetric which makes flying hard ;)

 

 

Haven't tested much in ripple but I suspect that may pose a challenge to get working correctly. I will work at it and see if I can get it working right

Yes - it seems that you have to ripple manually with the MER - but with 15 mk82 and 2 m117 the load is really impressive.

But Takeoff is hard.

 

The mer6 is really low poli, is there a better on?

I actually was trying to add the r-73 myself earlier, but I can't get it to even dumbfire. Is there something beyond adding the CSID to f5-e.lua that you have to do for that?

Hey guys,

 

Like similar mods I've released for the L-39ZA and M2000C, I'll be releasing a weapons upgrade mod for the F-5E within the next day or so, but this time I want your input! My goal is to expand the aircrafts capabilities in a somewhat realistic manner, so if you are familiar with weapon systems that have been used by export nations that are available in DCS but not a default F-5 weapon, post them here and I will try to include them. Note I cannot enable complex weapons like the Maverick such, so keep it to bombs, rockets, etc.

 

My mod will include at a minimum:

 

MER 5 & 6 MK. 82/MK. 82SE racks enabled for all pylons

 

Twin and triple bomb ejectors enabled for all pylons

 

Expanded Rocket pod options, and triple racks for FFAR pods

 

AIM-9M (Testing outboard and wingtip pylons)

 

R-60 series

 

R-73

 

Let me know what you guys want to see!

 

I know the thread is old but i dont see any info showing if you. Were you ever able to get the Outboard station to display and use A2A correctly ?

havent found any info in dcs showing it working or if someone else did thanks.

So necro'ing this thread - but I take it there is no mod out right now for additional AIM-9s for the outboard pylons? I am trying to run a mercenaries campaign using upgraded F-5s and want to roll with more AtA missiles.
