Shenyang J-5

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenyang_J-5

 

"The Shenyang J-5 (Chinese: 歼击机-5; pinyin: Jianjiji-5; literally "Fighter-5"), originally designated Dongfeng-101 - (East Wind-101), and also Type 56 before being designated J-5 in 1964, is a Chinese-built single-seat jet interceptor and fighter aircraft derived from the Soviet Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17. The J-5 was exported as the F-5. The aircraft's NATO reporting name is "Fresco"" --Wikipedia

 

The F-5 is in the HUD-4 database...is the J-5 different enough to need its own entry?

J-5/F-5 are almost identical. It is the J-6/F-6/MiG-19 that you have to worry about. China made some interesting versions of the MiG-19.... eg the J-6-III which has a fixed shock cone instead of the blunt air splitter of a standard MiG-19. Man-Rtg is up by ~0.25 (computer only not a table top change.) However Max sped is cut by almost 100Kts and max altitude by almost 1500meters. This version was still in service just 10 years ago and it was considered a failure. I will try to get some info to Gunny if he dose not already have it but it is a low priority. I have 9 higher priority reaserch projects for various Computer/Tabletop people in front of this.
