F-5E - Trials behind the Iron Curtain

Yea, Gaijin does it, but that doesn’t mean I support copy pasting stuff from TT to TT, unless absolutely needed.

Well TBH I could have done without having to Grind 5 M44s on seperate trees, but then I would have rather had Shermans to grind instead of them.

Another part to this is there are a number of Romainian and Finnish Vehicles that are premium on the German Tech Tree and I would rather if these were moved to the appropiate trees.

Espcically the Finnish Aircraft, I know Gaijin said they wouldn’t do it, but then we now have two Canadian Ram IIs for Britian and America, so I don’t see it hurting for them to do the same with those vehicles retrospecitivally.

Maybe if an American Mig-21 got unique weaponry

probable aim 9b or something idk

I researched this, it was never fit with AIM-9B. Only used as performance evaluation, similar to the Soviet F-5E.

aim9b is something at least, plus they could realistically mount it since the mig 21 used an aim9b ripoff

You’d also have to have proof it used the AIM-9B

These captured stuff should be kept as skins at higher tier, since they won’t even be premiums that can help with the grind and I don’t see the good of having an absolutely identical vehicle as a separate event reward.

As a skin sure why not

Absolutely not for a copy and paste vehicle that offers nothing new or different from other F-5s or doesn’t help fill in a needed gap.

Maybe rather like event skin for Chinese F-5E (not for US one).

A future Iranian one since those actually use Russian weapons.

That ends up in the US like the Tomcat

Yes. This is even better option.

It’s supposed to be a Russian sub tree according to a leak, who knows if the leak is accurate though.

What leak?


I’d take this leak with a grain of salt, though it is in the “leeks” section of the WT Snail Mine Discord so it may have some weight to it.

Interesting.

So if this is true, we’re going to see a crap load of American machines which is eh, but at least a lot of them will have some unique Iranian characteristics to them.

Like the F-5 it would be a pretty good plane if it got a normal radar. Idk if Iranian have better one or use same as US F-5E or that Thailan squadron one.

They used both the F-5A, F-5E and also domestic variants, there’s also one with the V shaped tail which is really cool called the Saeqeh
