exhausted Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) This aircraft, or combinations thereof, was used by more countries than the current F-5E. Along the the F-104, the F-5 was in plentiful supply with many NATO and allied air forces during the Cold War. The F-5A would make a great addition because it was designed to carry out many missions and lots of documentation exists. The Early F-5s should come as a package, since the basic F-5A lacks refueling capability yet the CF-5As have this feature. Additionally, this cheap, expendable aircraft would be quite at home in the upcoming Kola Peninsula map, the Syria map and the Nellis map. I look forward to buzzing around in this aircraft, doing things the current F-5E doesn't do, like air to air refueling. Plus, pretty wingtip tanks! Edited November 10, 2022 by exhausted 4
bies Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 It would be nice, it was relevant important aircraft and it was used during Vietnam war as well. I guess first ED will overhaul original F-5E and then maybe F-5A can be made. 1
exhausted Posted November 13, 2022 Author Posted November 13, 2022 This docu says the CF-5A was adopted for special use on NATO's flanks, like Norway and Turkey instead of Central Europe. Well, that fits well with the existing Turkey maps and the upcoming Norway map! 2
upyr1 Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 I'd toss in the F-5C as well I believe they were basically As with in flight refueling 3

I believe they received a wiring upgrade and had limited anti corrosion measures made, in addition to the refueling probe.

When we get a Vietnam map a Skoshi Tiger campaign would be nice 2

Don't quote me, though. Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!
