Get the F-5A(G) in the Freedom Fighter Event!

It still says 1430 kgf for me in the dev server.

For what aircraft?

The F-5’s. F-5C, F-5A, F-5A(G)…

Yup, you are correct. I had the dev on Arcade battles.

It was a brief moment of anticipation of the patch, but alas

The engine changes based on game modes?

Yeah, all engines get some percentage better performance in AB, compared to RB and SB

Just realised the cockpit mirrors for the F-5A(G) are entirely non-functional, they’re just a plain white (or for me at least). I doubt it’s a graphical issue on my end as I play on the absolute maximum graphics minus RTX.

The more you look, the more rushed event vehicles usually seem to be

i wish ingame camo also was gloss ;)

The mirrors work for me

It may actually have to do with my graphic setup in-game which is very weird since I quite literally have everything maxed out, mind showing me a image of the cockpit of the F-5A(G) in-game showcasing the reflective mirrors?

That’s good, I was concerned the mirrors were non-functional since that would actually be a detriment for simulator.

I’ve also compiled a list of ongoing bug reports for the F-5A(G), hopefully we can take advantage of this new update and get this pushed before the patches release:

The most significant being the countermeasure count as everything else is almost entirely visual other than JATO, hopefully we can get the issues with the F-5A(G) fixed before the aircraft becomes “irrelevant”.

Thanks so much for the help of fixing the problems with these plane, right now we are also working on passing the Chaff pods and the CCIP function to the plane.

Let me guess, GJ will not accept this as a proof that there was a weapon aiming computer for CCIP/CCRP, right?

For consistency they should at least remove the CCRP. The F-5A (And the F-84F for exaple) have CCRP in game because it had the Low Altitude Bombing System. The F-5A (G) doesn’t even have the LABS control panel in the cockpit and as according to Gaijin the new electronics didn’t have any air to ground modes, then it couldn’t have been used to control the LABS designed in the late 1940’s. In reality the LABS is a toss bombing calculator (for nuclear weapons) anyway, and has nothing to do with CCRP in real life. So CCRP should be removed from any aircraft which only have LABS.

Correct, theyve acknowledged that the F-5 have a HUDWAC. However it is required to prove that the F-5 had the additional equipment required for CCIP/CCRP to function. However, they couldnt say what kind of equipment that would be. Some document rekated to the PAWS upgraded F-5s could also be decisive.

I would argue the HUDWAC, the INS and radar altimeter would be enough for CCIP/CCRP, but havent found any sources proving that.

The CCRP has now been removed. Also the SPI location indicator has been removed from the HUD making SPI unusable in sim. The Skipper is now even more worthless and also you can’t use SPI for locating targets or as a blind landing aid. Thanks Gaijin!
