[2021] F-5(E) Tiger 2 Master Thread - here we go again.

The developers have confirmed RWR is not planned to be removed. Its a modular kit that could also be installed on F-5Es.

The developers have not attached a block number to the aircraft for this reason.

All of the upgrades available in game on the F-5E were modular and all of the features of our aircraft were at the very minimum tested on the F-5E or were upgrade kits with retrospective fitting being possible. As such, since we do not plan to introduce several F-5E/F/N variants, our aircraft will have these upgrade packages open to the variant in game.

Any F-5E could receive all of the upgrades present on our variant in game. All of the upgrades were tested on an F-5E which meets the same criteria as everything else added to date.

There is no reason to introduce 3 almost identical variants for upgrades that can simply be modules on the singular F-5E without breaking any barriers. All of these upgrades were possible for F-5E.

Its an F-5E with all of the retrospective upgrades that were open to the F-5E family and tested on the F-5E family.

Everything currently available to the F-5E in game was tested on or fitted to the F-5E.

The c*ckpit sight has nothing to do with these modifications.

All of the modifications the F-5E has in game are upgrade kits and can be retrospectively fitted to the F-5E. Countermeasures and RWR for example are kits. The c*ckpit model will also not change with the research of countermeasure / RWR kits as we do not replicate this for aircraft in game that have modular kits and thus modular upgrades to the c*ckpit. This would require several c*ckpit models for the same airc

The gunsight is not incorrect for an F-5E variant and as per my previous statement, the developers have by design chosen not to attach a block number.

The same standards do apply in cases where multiple variants are not currently planned. Like how the FG.1 Phantom also has its entire lifespans worth of upgrades.

For the Jaguar and Buccaneer however there is potential for future variants.

This has no relivance here. We have already said those will come in time. It's however entirely off topic.

It has no relivance.

This topic is about the F-5E a new aircraft coming to the game.

You are referring to an existing aircraft for which we have already said we plan to add further upgrades too in the future.

It's entirely off topic and will not continue here.

The PFM does not have the capacity to mount, nor the radar to fire those missiles in question as we have already covered. The airframe was physically different. Different canopy type, mountings and radar.

The F-5A being added for the export event represents a model offered with export upgrades as there are no such limitations on the airframe and as the event suggests, is an exported plane. A skin is also included of the Y-5FA, so several options from that which were tested are also included.

We have also specified this in the event article:
