Ah yes, the Northrop F-5… a neat little fighter with a small size, but big punch. Many are still in service today in countries around the world.
This is the first plane in my objective to build every plane in Ace Combat 5. I figured I'd start from the very first plane in the game.
The build is fairly accurate in terms of weight and dimensions, and is armed with the AC5 SP weapon, the Unguided Bomb (UGB). It also has four standard missiles and it's two 20mm revolver cannons.
I will admit, I was shocked at how little thrust the F-5 had compared to all the other planes I've built. I had to do a lot of drag reduction to get it to perform properly.
