Aluminum Donkey Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Got myself a shiny new F-5.

mjbrennan99 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 The 5 is a fine flying aircraft. Check out the Cold War online server if your inclined for hot F-5 on Mig-21 action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbot Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I can only agree. The F-5 is a really nice aircraft, especially if you want to fly by yourself. In the F-18 you're flying a computer, but its fun, too. :D A-10A, A-10C, A-10C II, AV-8B, F-5E, F-16C, F/A-18C, F-86F, Yak-52, Nevada, Persian Gulf, Syria, Supercarrier, Combined Arms, FW 190 A-8, FW 190 D-9, Spitfire LF Mk.

Cool, thanks for the heads-up! It's really nice handling little plane :) I seem to have a hard time getting a radar lock on anything, but since it doesn't carry BVR missiles, it doesn't seem to matter much. But, I can't get a lock on anything further than about 5 nautical miles out. Imma check out that server sometime, actually, I'm just getting into some DCS online for the first time, and I was playing DCS when it was first released years ago.

streakeagle Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 The F-5E is pretty much my favorite module. The F-14B and F/A-18C are fantastic. But they are a lot more difficult to learn and operate effectively. The F-5E is a supersonic F-86 with a radar, RWR, and decoys. To be fair, the F/A-18C can be operated almost as simply as the F-5E in air to air if you don't worry about all the extra MFD options. But I am much more comfortable with the simple, straightforward cockpit of the F-5... didn't really need a manual to fly and fight effectively in an F-5.

It certainly does seem pretty straight to the point, and it handles nicely :) It's a better dogfighter in the classic sense than the MiG-21, which I bought the module to complement. Actually, I wanted the MiG-19, but there's no F-100 for it to go up against! If and/or when they release an F-100, I'm probably grabbing both :) AD Kit: B550 Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5800X w/ Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE, 2 x 16GB Kingston Fury DDR4 @3600MHz C16, Gigabyte RTX 3070 Windforce 8GB, EVGA SuperNova 750 G2 PSU, HP Omen 32" 2560x1440, Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS fitted with Leo Bodnar's BU0836A controller. --Flying is the art of throwing yourself at the ground, and having all the rules and regulations get in the way!
