NF5A why is it so low

why is the NF5A 10.7 when its literally a F5E thats at 11.0
10.7 is the F5C is with worse engines and Aim9E

It’s simple: $$$

It’s a slightly worse F-5E at 10.7, but it still needs to go to 11.0.

Gaijin:

NF-5A is an F-5A

F-5A in US, Japan & China is 10.7

NF-5A doesnt have Aim-9Ls so isnt equal to the F-5A(G) in Sweden at 11.0

Ergo… NF-5A is 10.7.

Gaijin just loves compression and making BRs messy

gets engine power of a F5E

It gets slightly less no? Although it’s still lighter than it, so imo it’s just a straight upgrade over the e in fm

But looking at engine stats would take effort on Gaijins part, therefore its F-5A = F-5A

F-5E had significantly superior engines to NF-5A and F-5A/C.
It appears NF-5A’s engines have been buffed recently.

@Morvran
F-5T is 11.3 because of 13.0’s compression.
It’s a crime that EJ Kai, F-18A, etc are 12.3.

I guess we entered era with undertiered premiums regularly

The NF-5A’s empty weight is 4390 kg.
The NF-5A’s thrust is ~2450 kg/f at sea level at 1000kph ias.

The F-5E’s empty weight is 4830 kg.
The F-5E’s thrust is ~2300-2315 Kg/F under the same conditions.

Explain to me how 1. The F-5E’s engines are stronger and 2. How the NF-5A isn’t superior to the F-5E in this range considering its much lower weight?

I feel the real crime is that the chinese F5A does get the aim9P, but the thai and US ones dont

Post corrected.
The engines produced far less thrust near release.

The F-5C shouldn’t even have 9Es, none the less 9Ps.

how inconsistent gaijin chooses to be on any given day is unknown to me

Even that is completely wrong lmao.
Go look at content released on the day the patch dropped and see for yourself in how much of an “underpowered” state the NF-5 released in.

A perfectly superial premium thing on the same br ‘<’

im pretty sure it had them IRL as even the F100A has 9Es
and im pretty sure since aim 9B it can fit aim9E as they use the same launcher

Iirc the 9e entered service after the f5c was retired

it didnt, easy to find this info. USA F-5s were very short lived.

Also this is a taiwanese F-100 with no relation

Okay and? AIM-9Es and AIM-9Bs are equally compatible.
