BryNX_Oldest_Tiger Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Are there any mods that expand the F-5's weapon arsenal? Some new ground attack weaponry would be neat but what I'm looking for most is Air-to-air stuff. I am looking for mods that increase the amount of missiles you can hold, add new missiles, maybe has BVR, or maybe even all of them together.

G.J.S Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 For the F-5 to become BVR capable, it would require a serious radar upgrade, with a much larger dish size. The radar upgrade would allow different A2A missile types to be utilised, AIM-120 for example. Trying to use the current radar set with upgraded weapons in a BVR arena, would be like trying to illuminate the moon with a Maglite from your backyard, just ain’t powerful enough from such a small dish. 1 Alien desktop PC, Intel i7-8700 CPU@3.20GHz 6 Core, Nvidia GTX 1070, 16GB RAM.

Tiger-II Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I think there was a discussion previously about carrying four sidewinders, but nothing was changed in this area.

You'd need access to the Weapons Lua for the F-5, to unlock the pylons and make them A2A missile capable. But this file is locked by ED. You can modify the F-5E lua to carry 2 extra missiles on the pylons, but it'll be for show only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
