This is what the “bracket” looked like, here shown mounted on one of the surviving planes at one of the aviation museums!
With 4x bottles and 4.000LBS of thrust for 15 seconds, the take off distance would drastically
be shortened :D

Found some info regarding the upgrade of Canadian CF-5A and B to CF-116A and D. It was performed by the same corporation that upgraded the Norwegian ones. Edit: Bristol undertook some structural changes on the RNoAF F-5s.

I asked Smin about it and he said that thrust can be different depending on the channel loss of an aircraft.
Therefore I think those that are still 1890kg, they are overperforming more than what the engine in perfect condition could perform aka test bench.
4080lbf is around 1850kgf, like the norwegian source.

So the G.91Y is going to have its engine power reduced to 1430 kgf a?
It probably wouldn’t be exactly 1430 kgf as Smin said different airframe = different channel loss.
But I ain’t reporting it either as it would take time and would leave the plane with a screwed FM.

Add the new roundel as a decal for using on every plane please!!! why would you say you’re adding it and then change your mind???

@Til_Dovre_Faller are you able to bring this up the chain please? a clean roundel is something I’ve wanted more than anything for longer than I remember now… :(

is this allready modelled in game?
This may be outta nowhere, but may I ask if you know any other missiles other than agm65a that auto track after x distance? Cause I dont think this info is really shown anywhere? Thank you in advance
Out of curiosity does any missile in-game have a minimum range modeled?
I can’t recall any off the top of my head but just wondering since the air launched mk 3 lists 5-40km and the heli launched mk2 3-18 nautical miles.
Hm, maybe AGM65G and such? They have a thermal seeker head so they have tracking from like 12-16km at their max iirc most missiles that can track moving targets have a distance they cant track at and just follow initial.

well the thread went about as expected lol
Well, theoretically it can carry 4-5 i believe, but there is nothing to indicate it ever carried more than one
Is there a written source that specifies that it could be mounted on those pylons?
Because if you find a bunch of sources saying that it could be mounted on the same pylons of the Bullpup, it could be used to bug report it.
I think the most realistic solution to this problem, is to get gaijin to add the Norwegian F-16A Block 15, which is the only plane we know 100% could fire penguins and 4x of them.
Exactly, it really just seems gaijin figured penguin would be the gimmick for the vehicle to warrant it being a event. Though if Norway and Denmark are added as a combined 5th airline to sweden we could actually see some very cool F16’s

Just did give it a try. No Radar was the end of the story.

This is from the unclassified F-16 document I have on the penguin integration, in theory yes it can be used on any of those same pylons, in practice I suspect a response to a big report would just be a copy paste loadouts are at devs discretion and subjecto to balance.

Nah no shot, the source talks about the F-16 and even then it talks about certification of other pylons.
