F-5E -3? #661
I've been reading through the T.O. 1F-5E-1 and I'm confused about which model F-5E Belsimtek has modelled.

Dash-one preface page "v" says there were only 13 E-3 airframes built, so it's not a common model.

The equipment list in the DCS flight manual matches the dash-one "Main Differences" (page 1-3 figure 1-1) list for the E-1 and F models.

Am I misunderstanding what F-5E-3 means?

So confuse. Many wonder. Wow.

the -3 in the designation does not refer to the aircrafts production block itself, but to the APQ-159-3 radar that was fitted to several production blocks of F-5E's. That's where you are getting confused.
