BryNX_Oldest_Tiger Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Are there any mods that expand the F-5's weapon arsenal? Some new ground attack weaponry would be neat but what I'm looking for most is Air-to-air stuff. I am looking for mods that increase the amount of missiles you can hold, add new missiles, maybe has BVR, or maybe even all of them together.
G.J.S Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 For the F-5 to become BVR capable, it would require a serious radar upgrade, with a much larger dish size. The radar upgrade would allow different A2A missile types to be utilised, AIM-120 for example. Trying to use the current radar set with upgraded weapons in a BVR arena, would be like trying to illuminate the moon with a Maglite from your backyard, just ain’t powerful enough from such a small dish. 1 - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -
BryNX_Oldest_Tiger Posted January 22, 2021 Author Posted January 22, 2021 Sure but is there any mods that maybe add new short range AAMs or at least let me carry more
Tiger-II Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 I think there was a discussion previously about carrying four sidewinders, but nothing was changed in this area.

It's how you fly that counts. "An average aircraft with a skilled pilot, will out-perform the superior aircraft with an average pilot."

You'd need access to the Weapons Lua for the F-5, to unlock the pylons and make them A2A missile capable. But this file is locked by ED. You can modify the F-5E lua to carry 2 extra missiles on the pylons, but it'll be for show only.
