TESTING the BRAND NEW F-5AG EVENT JET with it's NEW PENGUIN ANTI SHIP MISSILES! - War Thunder

[@genchar692]

Also mat is has an internal camera in place of the Radar if I recall correctly it’s most likely not finished

[@dusanvukobratovic7659]

The missile itself has a camera that is used like a maverick

[@genchar692]

@ apparently it also has a 500x300 Thermal Sight

[@ploinefost9468]

Unless cockpit is a placeholder, cuz current one have no screen for give pilot any image

[@dusanvukobratovic7659]

The missile wont sea skim because in game it can only fight ground targets

[@elmanco6885]

gaijin has yet to implement sea skimming anyways. The Kormorans supposedly can sea skim but they work same as other air-to-ground missiles

[@adriancoric1721]

@@elmanco6885 well i wouldnt say they work the same as theyre the only air to ground missile in game to use radar guidance instead of TV or IR guidance but it only locks on to ships. If it did lock tanks that would be a monster since the only thing that could save you is hard cover. and shooting at ships still doesnt work properly because they almost always go for the structures on the ship instead of hitting the sides where they could do more damage. There really isnt a use for anti ship missiles right now in any gamemode aside from maybe simulator where you have enemy carriers.

[@spookygulag9342]

dev says 9L\I , gaijin said 9L . very good gaijin

[@ewali_]

it might get them as a modification later on

[@WarThunderAlt]

The penguin on wikipedia says its a missiles that flies over the ocean surface like extreme low level maybe try that when fighting ships?

[@airlightshockZOV]

I think the penguin is a test for the Kh-59s coming with the Su-30 next update

[@teodorocki]

how is your game so smooth? is it just motion blur alongside max graphcis?

[@SuperTrb0]

My hope is with all these anti ship missiles coming to the game is that we will see more modern maritime attack aircraft and helicopters. It would be cool to see something like the S3 Viking among others.

[@garrettobrien5197]

I bet that this is getting anti ship missiles because the next update will give a bunch of nations access to them

[@janusz4156]

F-5E Tiger II must comeback in Ace Combat 8. 65 years of F-5 family in 2024 and 30 years of Ace Combat series in 2025.

[@armyboy0579]

Maybe the F-20?

[@donteventry_1]

Removing the aim9l/i is diabolical

[@dusanvukobratovic7659]

literally the only reason to grind the jet

[@genchar692]

@@donteventry_1 I’d rather not have a higher BR bad dogfighting F-5A if it was an E sure but the GE-13s are very limited past 11.0

[@donteventry_1]

@dusanvukobratovic7659 true, the difference between the L and L/i is so much bigger than people think

[@DoctorBruKhar]

Now it's just the FCU but worse

[@sameer5634]

​@@genchar692a bad dogfighting F5 is still better than many aircrafts at that br so I'd rather take L/i cuz 2 gurenteed kill basically

[@gasmaskjohn8432]

the explosive mass of the penguin mk3 should be 130 kgs not 43/58 kgs.

[@mab2187]

It is preliminary, it will get an optical seeker like the maverick.

[@warthunderplayer1753]

How did you test drive it?

[@hixd26gaming15]

will they buff the AS.34?

[@Mibarri]

Wait... no camera? How are you supposed to use this in sim?

[@Frost_x_NB]

They need to make the F5E have 9Ls. Or bring down the BR. It’s the same plane, same br, but has much worse missiles. Once again Gaijin downplay tf out of the American Tec Tree

[@saintgordon338]

the engine power is closer to a F-5E than to the F-5A. maybe they change the numbers. but tjis numbers are way too high for theh A model

[@nathc5479]

What’s that Liquid Metal that eats through most metals, I’m surprised that’s not more common in weapons, seems like it would deal good secondary damage almost, guaranteed to disable most vehicles

[@Lexus-fo3ey]

Im not sure if u mean Gallium but if u mean that its only really effective against Aluminum

[@user-mc9cv9zw3x]

I really don’t understand why they would add this over a Norwegian f-16 Which is what the Swedish Tech Tree really needs cause Top tier air for Sweden is lacking. We already just got multiple copy paste f-5s for Japan we don’t need anymore especially a f-5 that adds 1 unique weapon that is worse then AGM65A and has no place in the game as of now.

[@ancientwarrior3482]

top tier Sweden is getting the Finnish F-18s

[@user-mc9cv9zw3x]

@ why not add both ?

[@ancientwarrior3482]

@@user-mc9cv9zw3x Sweden doesn't need an F-16 right now because of the Gripens. The Finnish F-18s are necessary to update the Finnish air subtree, which has been stuck on the MIG-21BIS ever since the subtree was added.

how do i test it i can find it

Whens this coming to the game?

[@officialnodlegod5562]

Event on February 6th

[@Twife_]

Thanks mate

[@G1smurphywt]

Hey Mat

[@DoctorBruKhar]

Without IRCCM this is just a worse F-5E FCU that you're forced to grind out on gaijin's schedule instead of your own. Pass.

[@WARTHUNDER_NORWAY]

is it the L/I missile you are talking about?

[@jappe-d1x]

I want the aim9L/I back =(

[@magicianGOD]

its basically aim9m,you literally will get 11.7 with ds flight performance for this br

[@Player550PL]

Meanwhile F-5E and useless AIM-9J, its horrible at 11.0, and to all people who don't use brain I am writting about Misilles, not the plane, the plane is God at this br but it's missille are not too good, like the one man writted below my comment, F-5E FCU id 0.3 br highet and got pythons, event F-5A got 9L's when tech tree got 9J's

[@blackfox7051]

Wthell is wrong with u brother 5E is criminally good and balanced

[@Player550PL]

@blackfox7051 I said bad thung about misilles not about plane, plane is good but this misilles sucks

[@Thermal6]

F5E got much better flight peformace then the A/C so i would almost take the E over this tbh

[@DerRusher]

​ the aim9j is good enough for 11.0... all aspect missiles tend to make you fire in aspects where it will lose lock very easily. I have no problems getting tons of kills with the 5E

[@AjackLee4]

F5C and even worse Aim9E at 10.7 LOL

[@crusadr1099]

gaijin yet again messing up an event i would 100% rather have it be at 11.3 with the irccm missles than 11.0 with aim9ls

[@sfarabbit2759]

The lowest BR which planes get access to IRCCM missiles in Air RB is 11.7, and those missiles are mounted on A-10/Su-25. Now reconsider what you wished for

[@crusadr1099]

@@sfarabbit2759 they said that it with the irccm was going to be like 11.3 or 11.7 lmao i did not wish for that im going off what they said

[@ThunderRot]

@@crusadr1099nope if they buffed it and give it the aim9l/i it will be at least 12.0 because the lowest br platform that carries irccm missile are slow subsonic jets like su 25 sm - a10c so imagine a very very good subsuper sonic dogfighter with irccm at 11.3 /11.7 LoL And event spam yeah sure thing

[@Henris-clips]

When is it coming

[@lebonvincent7833]

event vehicle and it starts on February 6th and ends on the 24th

[@jrsviking215]

yet again they fucked up the flares on the f5, it pops one at a time not 2 and you can see this in footage of it at airshows. there's a video called 'F5 Freedom Fighter Rygge air show 2007' where you can see this aircraft use flares

[@WARTHUNDER_NORWAY]

but it got both flares and chaff?

[@oSileyCT-7212]

So the F-5 can have an anti ship missile but the Rafale can't have the EXOCET, meteor and mica IR?

[@andrejerdelji1310]

The rafale is already broken enough, they will probably give those to it in the future but don't be surprised if they don't add stuff to vehicles they can carry as that's what gaijin does

[@andrejerdelji1310]

I feel the same way about the kfir c10 as it could carry python 4s or derby er missiles as well as a ground pound kit which is missing for some reason

[@oSileyCT-7212]

@@andrejerdelji1310 sure the Rafale is very op in game, but it's not even close to being real life accurate

[@ancientwarrior3482]

@@magicianGOD Definitely a questionable CAS choice, considering that the AJS-37, while already very limited in weapons, can carry up to 4 Mavericks (3 if you don't want to die to anything that carries missiles). The F-5A (G) can only carry 1 Penguin which seems to have terrible lock range. Sure it can take 4 Bullpups but using those turns you into a free kill.
