The ones that saw combat were the F-5C. They were modified F-5As, but not the same.

its not a copy paste and not merely a redesignation. Several modifications were made and as I said, US variants are planned. The US is going to get something else this update. So we are not dropping all plans when we already have plans made for US F-5s. The F-5A is not a variant they used.

It is more natural that the US is going to get more jets than everyone else. This will always be the case.

It does not mean they automatically also get the things the

Indeed I did. You will also notice that I have said the US has other things to look forward to this update. The US in general gets more jet aircraft than all other nations and that will generally always be the case.

But in this instance, this variant has no reason to be in the US tree when later variants are ones actually used in large numbers operationally by the USA. F-5C and F-5E are far more relevant and famous.

F-5A is the specific export version. The aircraft itself was designed not for US use, but for their allies.

We are adding a vehicle

Again, the F-5A is not an iconic US variant. Its the export version intended for other nations to use. Not the USA. The US tree will have the option of more relevant variants in the future.

The USA has the joint top most 10.0+ vehicles in game tied with Japan and Britain. On top of this, it has some of the most competitive jets in game at several BRs.

The F-5 was made "iconic" by its role in a film, aggressor squadrons and is more popular with those nations that actually operated it than it was with the US at the time. It was designed specifically for export. Not US operation.

Whilst the US did operate later variants and modifications, the F-5A was predominantly used in export countries. In US service, it was only training, research and trials. Therefor th

You will find out soon (ish).

We will forward the first one onto the devs as an issue for review.

The second part may be possible, but isn't planned at least right now as the bulk of the % of things in game remain in and around the WW2 eras.

Made it for export and for use by other nations. It was designed and intended for the military assistance program to give US allies a capable fighter.

The USA already has more jets than anyone else in game. It has one of the top 3 jets in game, along with some of the most capable CAS jets and attack aircraft in game. On top of this, the USA has more to look forward too already thats not a jet it didn't use as much as other nations and designed for the purpose of giving to other nations.

They are the only nation in game currently that used it.

Its main operator will in future have the opportunity to get the later variants it actually operated more. Not the variant which was specifically designed to be an export fighter for other nations.

Not with this patch and thats all we are talking about here.

Please see again. The F-5E has numerous visual changes that are not just "changing some numbers". Its not coming this patch.

F-5A is and as we have already made clear, there are options for the USA to receive the F-5 in the future. But not with this patch.

The aggressors are non combat trainers and movie stars. Im sure plenty of people will be making the iconic MiG-28 skin.

Again, those variants in combat over Vietnam used were not the standard A model we have coming and were indeed re-classified as C later on. Which is an option the USA can have. But the one coming is specifically an A.

As I said, there are already existing plans for the USA this patch on top of the fact that they have more jets than anyone else by a huge margin.

Other F-5 variants will be possible for them in the future.

Yes, this is an F-5C, not an F-5A.

I have already said we are speaking specifically about the F-5A right now.

This is not an F-5E. Its an F-5A.

Japan and Sweden have nowhere near the amount of jets the US has and will ever have in game. Those jets were only used by those nations and no other nations in game. They are important, iconic domestic vehicles.

You overlooked the primary reasoning. All F-5A production was intended for Military Assistance Program [MAP] and export, but the ones the US did take for use (such as the "Skoshi Tiger") were modified and later redesignated as F-5C. Those that were not, were used for training and exercises. So specifically the F-5A variant we have coming is the least applicable t

The development of all those things you speak about is entirely seperate and inconsequential to each other. One part does not come "instead of" the other. One thing has not been prioritized above another.

The US is not getting an F-5 this update. I already said it would be possible in the future with other modifications. But the version coming is the primary export version.

You misunderstood. The question I was answering is will the USA specifically get the F-5A. To which I was responding, they will not because it was a variant used for export and other countries.

The USA used it only for evaluation, training and research. They have other possible later variants for themselves in the future.

We have those when they are last resorts or not much else to add generally. The US is already swarmed with jets and has tones of them. It is not in direct need of something it never used operationally (This specific variant, other modifications were) and when the aircraft, was by design and intention for other nations as an export fighter. It was used far more by everyone else than the US.

As I also said, whilst this specific variant is not joining the US tree for now. There are other variants and modifications that are possible in the future.

Other variants

Not the F-5A for now. Since it was only used for training and testing. However other variants may be possible in the future for them.

This was produced as an export fighter. The US had little interest in it.
