I agree AAM-4B only. I’ve been using the FIN F-18C. the HMD is useful but you can still fight well without it.

I definately agree its still a good plane even without it, But there’s no reason it can’t or shouldn’t get one when a mock-up used on the ADTW F-2A exists. But limited amount of CM’s forces it to go defensively way more often, and only 4 fox-3’s make it even more difficult to reengage after a bit.
There is no hmd for the f2…
As far as i remember the timeline is f2 proto with no hmd —) f2 with still no hmd —) japan want hmd —) they cancel their domestic hmd

I mean to be fair lots of countries get away with way more, like i said the swedish 9M’s which sweden never had or used, or the well. Yak 141 itself… If a mock-up exists and was tested on the ADTW already, theres no reason for it to not get it

The rule is, did your plane test an hmd (for a plane that is in service) ? or if it’s a prototype that was never built, did you planned an hmd for it ?

Then it’s really not clear to follow, idk from what i get by looking at the f2 post there is none and with yours there should be, no clue then you should ask them i guess.

AAM-4 we have currently uses the status of the AAM-4 but the model of AAM-4B
Not to mention we have the Late version of the F-2A which has HMD AAM-4B and AAM-5/5B, (we can ignore aam5 for now to fit the balance)
but Why did they just ignore AAM-4B for japan + the F-2A’s HMD

I did get this document from a friend, not sure how real it is but he told me he got it from a public archive of sorts. I’ll ask for more details and let you know again if its real or fake :D
Maybe it was on me and i’m the one that followed everything wrong.

the Japanese Mod.go has quite a bit of public information about the F-2A and its ability to use HMD+AAM-4B
It has been bug reported but gaijin put it as “not enough info” and refuses to let people put more info

AAM-4 is already AIM-120C equivalent, especially with any further fixes.
AAM-4B is AIM-120C8+ equivalent which isn’t coming to the game.
120 countermeasures is not low.
F-15E does not carry 10 missiles.
it does not have 120 countermasures, it has 60 total. AAM-4 in game is quite literally worse for BVR than 120B with only positive going off rail quicker.
it has 120

i think the countermeasures is a bug tho, there is a bug report for it last i remember.

This is correct, it has 120 not 60
Didn’t see the bug report then, my apologies

Also while we are here, ASM-2 is incorrect also on dev its ARH-IOG when its actually IR-IOG (with proof from jp mod.go public info)
I think its explosive mass is also wrong? its like 70kg explosive for a 600kg missile

the F-2A’s in their current state is just plain wrong
idk how gaijin managed to fuck it up despite DMM being right there
