borja.abadc Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Good morning, Probably it is a stupid question but I have a doubt that I can´t solve myself. I understand that the F5 tiger E is in reality the III version as per the real manual (T.O. 1F-5E-1-1984_OCR) due to all the panels instrumentation match with the 3th version of this aircraft, in addition in DCS manual in the page number 2 the name is about version 3 as you can see below. Then, why the module is called the F5 Tiger E II instead F5 Tiger E III? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machalot Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 It might be called Tiger II because there had already been an aircraft named Tiger (the F-11) when the F-5E came out. The US military has reused other names in this manner, such as the A-7 Corsair II, F-4 Phantom II, A-10 Thunderbolt II, F-35 Lightning II, C-17 Globemaster III, etc. 1 "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayo25 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 It is called Tiger II, because of the mission Skoshi Tiger. https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/f-5c.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
