F-5E Tiger II Aggressor Squadron

50.6k ChaMikey  7.1 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Dipper's Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut

Tried to keep the part count down low so it would be mobile friendly, sacrificing looks for practicality! Thanks to @Avro683Lancaster for the color scheme suggestion! keeping the low part count was also in mind when I thought of flying this out in Multiplayer one day.

Controls :
- Vtol down for flaps
- Act 3 to turn on nav lights
- Act 4 to deploy parachute

Instructions :
- Landing speed 160mph (Full load) on any runway, flaps down + nose up.
> speed 150-160mph, nose up 5* + Parachute to land on USS Beast.
- I dont think theres anything else need to be instructed.

History! :
The Northrop F-5A and F-5B Freedom Fighter and the F-5E and F-5F Tiger II are part of a supersonic light fighter family, initially designed in the late 1950s by Northrop Corporation. Being smaller and simpler than contemporaries such as the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, the F-5 cost less to both procure and operate, making it a popular export aircraft. The F-5 started life as a privately funded light fighter program by Northrop in the 1950s. The design team wrapped a small, highly aerodynamic fighter around two compact and high-thrust General Electric J85 engines, focusing on performance and low cost of maintenance. Though primarily designed for the day air superiority role, the aircraft is also a capable ground-attack platform. The F-5A entered service in the early 1960s. During the Cold War, over 800 were produced through 1972 for U.S. allies. Though the USAF had no acknowledged need for a light fighter, it did procure roughly 1,200 Northrop T-38 Talon trainer aircraft, which were directly based on the F-5A.

Aggressor Squadrons :
An aggressor squadron or adversary squadron (in the US Navy and USMC) is a squadron that is trained to act as an opposing force in military wargames. Aggressor squadrons use enemy tactics, techniques, and procedures to give a realistic simulation of air combat (as opposed to training against one's own forces). Since it is impractical to use actual enemy aircraft and equipment, surrogate aircraft are used to emulate potential adversaries. The first formal use of dissimilar aircraft for training was in 1968 by the Navy Fighter Weapons School (better known as "TOPGUN"), which used the A-4 Skyhawk to simulate the performance of the MiG-17. The success of formalized Dissimilar air combat training (DACT) led to transition of Navy Instrument Training Squadrons equipped with the A-4 into Adversary Squadrons at each Master Jet Base. The USAF followed suit with their first Aggressor squadrons at Nellis AFB equipped with the readily available T-38 Talon.
