As seen below the maximum lift of the F-5E should be achieved at 24 degrees AOA. Where stalls should occur however in game the F-5E stalls at about 19 degrees AOA.
The Lift coefficient of the F-5s in game is extremely overperforming, and needs to be reduced until the full 24 degrees AOA achieves the 7.33G seen for the best instantaneous turn at 360 KIAS. As it is in game it achieves this with only 15-16 degrees AOA.
This would make the F-5E significantly better at low speed dogfighting while also making its tern performance much more realistic.
AOA indication and AOA units are usually read from the ADD (airstream direction detector)
Cockpit Units AOA are the ones that are odd as seen on jets like the F-15/F-14 and Harrier 1 revised performance data section. These tend to go off of fuselage datum lines and buoyancy lines.
You absolutely need the specific conversion formula for the F-5E. On the DCS forums one can find the formula for the F-15A and the F-14 but I couldn’t find one for the F-5E. The formulas are completely different for different aircraft. And also they are valid only for certain configurations so it’s pretty much undoable. You need the AOA performance in degrees.
To whomever keeps mass flagging my post, TALKING ABOUT OVERPERFORMING FLIGHT MODELS ON A THREAD ABOUT OVERPERFORMANCE IS NOT OFF TOPIC YOU DAFT DIPSTICK.
