NF-5A on the Leviathan dev server

Yes, raised nose gear.

Changes on the dev server:

  • NF-5A: combat flap position polar blending increased from 0.2 to 0.3, which will mean combat flaps will now blend 30% into the full flaps polar rather than 20% previously

i have only one question
does this NF5A worth for the money

Currently it’s not, as it’s not 50% off yet. And even then you might get better results with the Mirage F1C premium.

But if you are a decent pilot, then yes. You’ll grind the whole tech tree in a matter of time.

I indeed wouldn’t get it now, but rather wait until it’s 50% off. Personally, I find the F-5 family quite fun to play. So it can definitely be worth the money if you’re interested in the plane itself and not just 100% for the research. But of course, the research can still be done quite well with it.

bro why report me message

Unless you want the pre-order title, decal, skin else it’s best to wait for it to be on sale.

Edit: I personally got it due to the Canadian pre-order livery. I was originally going to wait until it was on sale, as I needed it for my Canadian-built collection.

F-4J(UK) vs F-4S
The Sequel

AIM-9N=AIM-9J-1=AIM-9P-3
Three designations for exactly identical missiles
All with improved solid-state seekers (so should have improved seeker similar to difference between AIM-9G/H or AIM-9B/F) plus radar slaving

What radar?

Edit: Yes, it’s in WT-essence an AIM-9J (like I said). The NF-5A does however get a weaker engine than the F-5E and lacks a radar and guided ordinance like Bullpups or mavericks. It’s right inbetween an F-5C with the ahistorical flares and the F-5E.

Both the 10.7 and the 11.0 BR for Air Realistic could be justified. For other gamemodes, like Ground Realistic or air/ground simulator 10.3 or 10.7 would be more justified.

I really hope Gaijin adds some extra liveries before this plane hits the live server, as it has some great looking ones.

why is it a mistake? is it too good, or is it bad? i want to grind france and this looks like a good premium at 50% off no?

It’s quite the upgrade over the F-5A/C, at what I thought was a lower BR. Instead, it’s the same BR as the A/C. Still too low I think but not nearly as much as I initially thought.
So yes, extremely strong premium.

Dont forget, the chinese f5a at 10.7 also gets aim9J compared to the aim9e on the f5c and american f5a

If there were a BR between 10.7 and 11.0 it would belong there but considering the f5ag is 11.0, 10.7 will be fine for this thing

hm, so a great pickup in case i want to unlock french air tree, very good! and the 50% vehicle sale is right around corner yes?

Cockpit got added with the new patch

Pictures of the cockpit

It’s almost 98% accurate to the manuals we have on the NF-5A, so a great job by the modellers working for Gaijin. :D

Notable differences are the lack of a sight-recorder camera and the addition of the CCU (cockpit controle unit) for the countermeasures, which, being a MLU upgrade, wasn’t present in the manuals.

Would be cool to bave a functioning CCU counter!
