It will not be a RPM nerf. Now it has 15 RPM. Unless we take
30 rpm with electronic back-scan
As it having 30RPM based on 2 beam, then it is correct.
On what reason Gaijin reduce IRIS-T SLM range to 15km??
range and RPM buff, too bad they didnt add a better version of MPQ-64 for even more
nvm 2 beam is probably what they meant
Then that’s a strong possibility.
They’re probably going to make it an event vehicle. No guns and only 2 missiles sounds like exactly the kind of thing they’d use for an event to let people know they can skip it.
Otherwise it’s just another F-5E, which would just be boring, no?

@quartas121 @DirectSupport but i did found something that will be a nerf to it
It scans only 22 degree of elevation at once, it tracks within the whole elevation envelope

can you see if this is changed on later models out of curiosity?
If i manage to find brochures, yes
AN/MPQ-64F1 Improved Sentinel
Tho it seems F1 lost the back scan
I guess it kept it.
idk at this point

Actually there is also the F-5F which is just the two-seater version of the F-5N

its hard to find easy to understand stuff for more obscure modern stuff like this
i found a report on A3, nominal range means a conservative estimate right?
and are RFI’s classified or all clear to post?
That will be the instrumented range, so the max one
dunno
yeah, cross checked with 2 other things and they all say 75km (pretty sure its for A3 version). what version of Sentinel was the first brochure screenshot for?
First is named just standard Sentinel, and it is from before the second one, that is for ISentinel (the first brochure is older than the second one). It seems to be to the standard sentinel.

Potentially, though I’d rather those only come if they belong to a nation that wouldn’t fit as a sub tree or sub nation (I.E. Mexican F-5E, Tunisian F-5E, etc). I feel like American Tiger IIs (Tiger IV, F-5N, F-5F, etc) should be the primary options, with ones from other nations coming secondary.
this is quite confusing, there is 120km range from army recognition for F1 and also from kongsberg
but US govt RFI for the A4 (SAM.gov) and air defence manual (https://irp.fas.org/doddir/army/fm3_01.pdf) say 75km for the A3. maybe the US ones are lowballing the range a bit since A3 is newer than F1 and should be better afaik.
this even says A3 and F1 are same thing and talks about 120km range (and how it tripled from original 40km)
Event vehicle would make sense as well. Regarding it being “boring”: yes and no. To most, it would 100% ve seen as “just another F-5”. For those interested in the F-5 family however, the F-5N is a very interesting part of its history, with them still being used to this day in the adversary role. (with some private firms even having their own fleets)
Fair point, I forgor :skull:
Can I get too 😇
