GCS-1 aside, this should now open the door for the ASM-2 which also uses an IR seeker which would be a huge boost for Japan in general.

But in a more serious note, this is pretty messed up, the whole double standard gets really annoying, especially when a playerbase has been fighting for something to be added and have it denied for a specific reason just for them to add something for a different nation that falls under that same reason…

And aim-9L instead of aim-9p/e

Somewhere, in the distance, a faint, yet happy scream can be heard from a certain SM.

I predict F-5A(G) late production integration AIM-9L & AGM-119A Kongsberg Penguin Anti-Ship Missile

But the early production rear-aspect WVR Air-to-Air Missile (AIM-9E & AIM-9N) and pre AGM-119A Anti-Ship Missile

So F-5A(G) Early it might regular tech tree for sweden

This is the perfect event vehicle, unique but not so unique that if you miss out it’s a big deal. Honestly this is not C+P, that’d be like saying the F-15E is copy paste of the F-15A.

This is a perfect event vehicle because it’s actually useful in the gamemode you have to play in order to get it. I was getting sick of CAS planes that are useless in ARB.

We will replace the Norwegian Air Force roundel with new one, sorry for confusion.
New, planned one will be: “Emblem of the 332nd squadron” decal

Text updated with:

The F-5A(G) is a Royal Norwegian Air Force multi-role fighter jet. This modification is equipped with a new sighting system, all-aspect AIM-9L/1 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, and the Penguin guided anti-ship missile with a thermal imaging homing head, which will prove itself in battles against tanks. The F-5A(G) is the first Norwegian aircraft in War Thunder and also has a unique “tiger” camouflage!

So, any difference? Or it’s L/I with seeker from 9M?

Yes

9M with smoke

Again, Penguin can’t be used against tanks in real life
