_BringTheReign_ Posted January 31 Posted January 31 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 6 1 .

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? 2 I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

On photos mavs are always carried on the outer wing pylons... 2
Northstar98 Posted February 1 Posted February 1 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: 3 Modules I own: F-14A/B, F-4E, Mi-24P, AJS 37, AV-8B N/A, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

Stratos Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Thanks for the answers, would be a fun addition. 1 I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
twistking Posted February 1 Posted February 1 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... 4 My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original

That's it... The radar returns looks the same, it is all based on the APQ-153 anyway in DCS 2
WolfLaw Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago Especially frustrating is the justification that they're modelling a specific type of F-5 at a specific point in time. That's an excuse and not an explanation: Nothing's stopping them from having the F-5 represent several types of F-5 if they so chose. I'd love Mavericks.
EricJ Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago It boils down to how many manuals and what type they have most of, that's not classified of course. It's not an oversight, or a scheme to deprive players the goods as many people seem to think on these forums and so on. They gotta work within constraints like anybody else in the gaming industry. This isn't the War Thunder forums where there's leaks, but I can understand the desire to stay out of jail and whatnot. They're not doing it intentionally as I said to deprive players functionality, but unless you can provide strong proof that the version modeled carried Mavs, then submit it to BIGNEWY or NineLine, and get it possibly introduced. There's plenty of features I would like, but I don't have any non-classified manuals to submit, so I just deal with it.
