Ensuring there is a proper wish list item for this addition. 

- AGM-65 Maverick capability was a standard option on export F-5E's.
- The APQ-159-1 would function and display the same radar returns, but would differ by also showing the Maverick picture when switched to TV
- Function and steps outlined in this post 


 

Maverick requires these steps:

  • Turn switch to AGM-65 (disconnects trigger from gun)
  • Wait 3 minutes for gyro warm up
  • Arm stations 
  • Light should turn green 
  • Turn radar screen to TV (APQ-159-1)
  • Pull trigger all the way to jettison protective cover
  • depress radar AQ button
  • slew with radar cursor stick
  • release radar acq button to lock target
  • depress if bad lock and release to reacquire/lock
  • pickle button to fire 
  • order is left to right

I was inspired by your posts good sir! 
May as well make it known specifically what the community is asking for!

Exactly! If one reads the pinned post about the wishlist, this is exactly what ED wants!
+1, bring it on!

Cheers!

I'm all in, but where did you got this list? Any idea of how the Maverick display look on the F-5? Variants of the Mav used? And which pylons are capable of carrying them?

I'm pretty sure that the display would just have the raw feed directly from the maverick. On photos mavs are always carried on the outer wing pylons...

Would probably need a new display though (I've yet to find an image which has the AGM-65 position and accompanying indicator lights (looks like they're present on all 4 underwing stations)) which has a scope similar to ours:

I still think that mavericks would not be the most desirable update compared to other potential improvements, BUT i must admit that 4 mavs on an F-5 would be insane (in a good way).
There are indeed images of Taiwanese Tigers carrying quadruples...

Yeah, and the picture I posted above is from a ROC aircraft.

clarity, obviously the image I'm quoting is of an ROC aircraft

Yes APQ-159-1 is needed, the only difference between it and our -3 is that the -1 also has a position for TV. That's it...
The radar returns looks the same, it is all based on the APQ-153 anyway in DCS
