Regarding the Samovar and Penguin combo, they were mounted on the aircraft together to provide a better protection suite during the attack.
Ive seen the images, only problem is checking Norwegian sites, my Norwegian is absolutely garbage (if we all spoke Danish it would be simpler lol)

ah so it can’t even guide an air to ground missile from here (no display). I wonder how it will be implemented then…
i haven’t looked much into it yet tough, but to my understanding fire and forget missiles doesn’t require much, fire, and forget, guess it works sort of the spikes
I believe the Penguin can be pre-programmed, but that wouldnt be useful for WT.
The missile itself isnt locked onto the target at launch, but is told where the target is located. This can be done either by radar or designation by the pilot, i believe. The missile is launched, and heads for the designated location. When entering a set distance from the target it activates its seeker head and strikes the ship.
The F-5A(G) is also able to use Bullpups. This compatibility was in fact a specific request from the Norwegians upon purchase of the fighters.

Yeah but You cant see what You are loking at without a display.
Yeah I’m looking foward bullpops on this one, the point Is that gaijin Is trying to sell an aircraft for something It can’t realistically do.

Then they should’ve added the F 35 since they wanna sell this thing as a CAS fighter, or given US the F16 AM from Norway

That could be a better way to add some cas to Sweden.
Danish and Norwegian 5th air line is the only way gaijin could make the swedish air tree worth grinding.

Also me: knowing I won’t be able to grind the event checks bank account

Id hold your money until we see its armament and BR. As it stands rn if its higher than 11.7 its worthless, if it cant have decent CAS at a reasonable BR then its also useless
yeah, that’s the plan for now I spose.
really hope it isn’t a gimmick because it would be cool.
in the meantime I guess I should resume the grind (have been taking a break for a while) so that I can get a lineup that is even remotely usable with it for GRB
and also resume air TT grind so I can have maximum grind efficiency with it
Until gaijin can confirm if it can be used for CAS and that it wont lose its AT function this vehicle seems pretty much DOA for me. If its 11.3 by some chance i might play it. 11.7 will basically make it only useful in a downtier since you’re a worse Mirage F1C but with 1 less missiles.
ah, okay. well i should stop being a wishful fool and use some critical thinking skills (which I lack).
I appreciate ye being able to turn the reasonable part of my brain back on lol
upon further consideration I really probably should avoid spending money on it at all costs, but knowing me, it’ll probably end up in my collection anyways ;)
