this would basicaly be a copy paste from the chinese one, i much rather have them get something unique like the Fokker S.14 or if we talking about the sub tree maybe the late mirage 5ba or even the Magister, but i really think we should not give every nation in game an F-5
-1
Neither F-5 variants of the one in the chinese tech tree are a copy paste of the NF-5A… As I wrote in this article:
The F-5E in the Chinese tech tree under the RoCAF comes closest, but even then still would recieve a different flight model, cockpit and ordinance.
This suggestion is not an ‘either x or y’ one, it’s a suggestion for a unique F-5 variant with unique munitions for a nation that could be a separate tech tree, like in the Benelux proposal. I also agree that the MirSIP Mirage 5BA and the Magister should also come in-game, but one doesn’t exclude the other.
Well, it sure would be there, I guess
Why not, +1
Did those have armaments tested? Well G at least, I know V didn’t
the Vtol one didnt, but gaijin added jets that never had any guns irl in the game so it could work, probably slap two defas and magics and call it a day, i just want to see the fastest vtol jet ever built in the game, it was also enormous so imagine a school bus coming at you at +mach 2, would be hilarious
As much as I’m against fictionalizing vehicles, half of German high tiers uses missiles they never even owned, so yknow what, screw it, I support the Mirage V
honestly id rather see the mirage g first, would probably be more flyable and would def rattle so big nation players because that thing would be really nasty in the right hands
Slightly better ROCAF F-5A from china tech tree
Someone flagged my post because of the f word, amazing. If youre that fragile i cant fathom how you survive when necessity forces you out of your home and into the real world.
Big +1 from me, as a supporter of the “F-5 in (almost) every tech tree” idea!
There’s a lot of unique F-5 modifications yet to be added, and this would add something quite nice to the BeNeLux sub tree :D
Im gonna just say this, it wouldn’t matter. Gaijin would model it as a basic F-5 like they did with the F-5A(G) because they couldn’t be bothered to try. You put too much faith in gaijin, still if correctly added would be cool to see.
This expostition photo shows a LAU-3A rocket pod.
This video also shows the use of the centre mounted rocket pod.
I’ll add this munition later to the suggestion.
New NF-5A Pre-order!

Update from the dev stream
I’ll wait for the dev server to see if any ordinance is missing. (And if they add the correct cockpit.)
Dev-thread for the NF-5A
they better add the funny pylon with FFARs.
its still missing on the dutch F-104G aswell.
Seems like it’s in (if I’m correct), congratulations
Also +1
For those interested, a couple more bug reports on the NF-5A on the dev server, much thanks for @Sander2006 for their contribution:
- flap positions:
Community Bug Reporting System - landing gear doors:
Community Bug Reporting System - Missing ‘R/B D’: “Rocket and Bomb Dispenser”: Community Bug Reporting System
I will buy it for the Canadair skin
That’s fair, I hope we’ll also see a dedicated Canadian Canadair CF-116A, especially as the Canadian one can carry some unique ordinance, such as the matra rocket pods for the SNEBs and the LAU-10 pods with the 4x Zuni’s.
The only problem being the lack of countermeasures.
The skin is amazing IRL, I hope the in-game one will do it justice!
