Freedom Fighter: F-5A(G)

No, this is not just a thermal camera, if the thermal blob s not a ship it rejects it and moves on.
This is a fire and forget missile you’d launch overland, you don’t want it to go after a lighthouse or coastal defences




The only way to fire at a tank is if you use manual mode and throw it at a target.
If it can lock and track a tank it’s not a penguin missile, it’s something fictional.

Because bunch of people can’t buy any vehicle that carries brimstones unlike this one.

It can lock onto static emplacement like bunkers or airfield AAA though

the Kormoran? I’m pretty sure that’s just the GPS guidance, it doesn’t actually have a seeker lock, unlike what is being done with the Penguin

Its strange. The sources I read about don’t mention that the plane and the missile itself might lock on ground vehicles. Whats the source? Its very, very stange.

Also: If so, why is this long range F&F tank killing missile + Aim-9L aviable at ground BR of 10.7? Compared to other strike jets its a bit crazy low.

In Air RB its also very generous, if you compare the BR of other Aim-9L capable jets. I mean, its not a bulky fighter bomber like the Tornado. Its a nimble lightweight dog fighter. Up its BR.

Idk what it is, but you can lock on some AAA in ground rb or bunkers in air rb and by keeping a lock hit locked by radar thing (bunkers in air rb are harder to kill because the lock is kindof jumping and get cluttered but it is possible to destroy it with kormoran)

Since they are adding Penguins, can they finally add GCS-1 and the other Japanese ir guided anti ship weapons or will this be a gimmick reserved exclusively for this F-5 and nothing else?

learn to use Spoiler text formatting feature please

given that the Kormoran was kept only on the event Tornado, I imagine the Penguin will be similar, at least until we see higher tier ship combat

Kormoran should receive the same treatment, all gameplay aspects should be treated equally, not just randomly picked/ignored ones

@Stona_WT what happened to the new Norwegian air roundel was that just immediately dropped from the event after you said it would be added? If so why lie and say you guys were working on it if you didn’t plan to deliver on it?

next event should be event f86 or t34 or sherman because we’re definitely lacking those vehicles they’d be so unique!

I mean its been fictional since it doesn’t sea skim and top down boats, its literally a reskinned AGM65A with a longer burn time. I mean it doesn’t take a genius to know they wouldn’t bother wasting the time to model a gimmick missile.

Komorans have a radar seeker, if the radar could track tanks like it did when it first came out then it could be used against ground targets. Dont get me wrong Penguin shouldn’t be able to do what it does but it does use a IR seeker instead of radar like Komorans.

This is criminally low for air. F-5E is already strong at that BR, giving it aim-9Ls at the same BR is insane. Needs to be more like 11.3

11.3? So a F5A with 2 9L’s vs the F5E with 2x python 3 and 2x P4 all aspect? I agree compression is a problem but youve completely ignored one of the best F5 models which is far more criminal than the F-5A(G) being the same BR as the E

MiG-21bis with 6x R-60M at same BR is criminally lawfull, yes?

Gaijin balancing at its finest lets be real, honestly though anyone using the 6x r60m loadout is a clown. True meta is 2 belly mounted R13M1’s and 4x R60M, idk why it went down from 11.3 once its spaded its an amazing fighter, just gotta close the gap with Sarh fighters

It’s the perfect sidegrade to the F-5E, trading FP for better missiles
