exhausted Posted November 10, 2022 Share 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!

bies Posted November 10, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exhausted Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they received a wiring upgrade and had limited anti corrosion measures made, in addition to the refueling probe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we get a Vietnam map a Skoshi Tiger campaign would be nice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
