It would be great to see this prototype in the tree of Israel

I’m glad you like it, I think it’s a unique fighter
I’m going to say this here Israel and Chile are really close up to a point where they are helping each other out with upgrades over numerous airframes.
Chile also has some Israeli domestic aircraft and tanks from Israel too.
I wouldn’t mind if Chile was a sub tree with Israel at all tbh.

This would be awesome, absolutely cancerous to face (as with all F-5’s) but fantastic nonetheless.

This’ll be a +1 from me
More F-5s are always appreciated, especially modernized ones (I especially love this one because of the tailfin fairing lol)

Forgot to ask this yesterday but, Is it capable of carrying 4 total pythons on the underwing stations? Or just 2 in total. Perfect gap filler for Israel at 11.7 with just its IR missiles and HMD capabilities.

The photos during his tests in Israel only carried 2 Python 3 but he can carry more of course, in fact when he returned to Chile he was armed with 4 Python 4 under the wings

I find it funny how we have essentially received this in game, as the F-5E ICU.

It is true, both F-5s are quite similar although some things change such as the bombs, the radar, the cockpit design, etc. What I like most about this F-5 is the aesthetics it has, it seems very representative of Israel having the IAI logo in the paint and it could be a perfect 11.3 on the Israeli air tree

It could be the Kfir C.7 at home (that doesn’t rip by just pulling full elevator for 3 seconds haha…)
Sidenote; it gets HMD/HMS right? Do you think that would warrant 11.7? Or do you think it would be fine just being a better FCU at the same BR kinda like the Mirage 2000-CS4/CS5?

I’m not sure if this prototype used HMD but when it arrived in Chile it was used, here are some photos of the Israeli DASH helmet that has that capability (in the cover photo of this prototype suggestion you can see the pilot wearing a similar helmet)
This is the evolution of this prototype, it is the final version used here in Chile called F-5 Tiger III Plus

I found new photos of this prototype, the most curious and strange is the one with the star of David in the paint

I found this photo of the F-5 Plus carrying Python 4 missiles, on the nose of the plane you can see that it has F-5 Plus written on it. Probably while I was in Israel the Python 4s were also tested.
