They rejected the chaff pod bug report.

One of the most interesting features.
Welp I don’t even know why they keep adding event vehicles if they don’t even bother to fully develop them.

B-but the F-16 didnt use a Ring Laser Gyro, so therefore the HUDWACS wouldnt work!1!11
In fairness, the response is reasonable. Only a single secondary source has never been enough for a report and there are no sources provided, or at the very least listed, for the specs
Regarding the A38N pods, found some info about an A38DK at tinbox.dk
Its the insides from an ALE-38 pod inside an ALE-2 shell

Their source is “it’ll sell more aircraft”
Because it is “unbalanced to go through smoke” they said lol
Might be a little better i hope

didnt saw this in ur brochures
iys for f-5 e/f hudwac but clearly says
CCIP MODE
(Continuously Computed Impact point)
HUDWAC takes into account actual
airspeed, dive angle and G forces from
airc",ft sensors to continuously predict
weapons impact point. The CCIP pipper 50-=
marks the impact point if bombs were =
released at any given Instant.

Was aware of them, but they’re for the F-5E which is pretty different from the F-5A (has a radar for example).
I didn’t want to draw too heavily from systems not installed either on F-16C/F-16MLU or a direct F-5A subvariant like the CF-5A/CF-116A.
It was the Report Manager that suggested manuals detailing HUDWAC architecture for Buccaneer (1960s HUDWAC) and Viggen (1970s HUDWAC) is applicable to a 1990s F-5A upgrade, not me.
And they’ve shot it down once again.
I think the best course of action would be to get in touch with the Museum.
Try to contact DavidBowie through DMs regarding that.
Some more information about all the stuff for the F-5 has shown up, so there will be a new one after that has been sorted trough haha

I didn’t include sources for the specs of the pod, and that is my fault :) working on finding some more, wich has been. Its kinda suprising how hard it is to find any information about the pod considering how long it was used

normal procedure is to tag with “info requested”, leave the bug report open and wait for someone to gather more info instead of close with “not a bug” and leave no chance of adding more sources (as the issue was lack of info after all)

a new radar? that still is not ingame
But the flight model was changed from F-5E to F-5A, at least in data mines.
It’s in the game right now.
After playing it plenty, I can assure you adding a bunch of cm wouldn’t make it 11.7 worthy lol
