To each their own, I’ve always had a soft spot for the F-5 family, long before playing WT.

It can absolutely be a TT, we’ll have to wait and see. Whether it’s TT or Premium, it’s a cool plane and some of us have been waiting for it.

This isn’t just about the design, those things are infuriatingly handheld in WT

Same. I dislike all the F-5 and F-20 talk. Its a stupid plane and I hate it.

Exactly. We should have the YF-17 instead :)

Be nice…

People complain about the F-5s, wait till the baby Hornet shows up.

That one looks pretty nice

What’s annoying about the F5s, is all you have to do to fix them is increase their engine temps when on reheat.

I mean YF-17 is afaik a continued development of the F-5

There’s more than fixing engine temp, but it would be a start.

It is a development of the F-5, but it’s also the lighter, land based, initial variant of the Hornet. More similar to the F-16.

Take away the fantasy flares and fix their stupidly cold engines, without needlessly lowering their BRs, then we can talk about being nice

It’s the main thing in my opinion. Fix that, and they won’t be quite as annoying to fight, it would make its flares far less powerful

yes but AFAIK it was only ever armed with 2 Wingtip Sidewinders

Man, this makes me want to cry lmfao

Not good enough IRL, but more than good enough for sales as a $70 premium in War Thunder

Yeah its a Hornet, but bad (IRL that is). Mostly because it had no propper radar from my understanding.

as I said, if there was an F-20 and an F-16A as Premium options the story would be kinda similar to IRL

nobody in their right mind would get the F-20
