The F-106 we got is a special modification of the F-106 to test HMD

It had them on the dev server, they were non functional and inside the drop tanks

Also F-102 is missing its air to air rocket computer. It very much needs that to aim its rockets

I’m sure it will NOT be fun to use stock with ONLY 2 missiles and nothing else.

And the delta dagger served the USA forces in vietnam for 10 years (in charge of enforcing the tailand border in 1959 and being relieved of duty in 1969), so you might want to add that to your introduction.

This is incorrect.

[DEV] Incorrect AIM-4 Falcons on the F-102A

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/2QT3PETojLxZ

Can you disclose any source or evidence that concludes the F-102A has technical compatibility with the AIM-4F and AIM-4G? Because there is no hard evidence to support this claim.

Instead of AIM-4F/G, the F-102A must use the historically accurate missiles: AIM-4A/B/C/D, as pointed out in the bug report. When will we see these missiles for the F-102A?

Besides, the AIM-4F/-4G missiles have larger dimensions that make them impossible to load into the F-102A’s smaller weapons bay, as depicted below with the AIM-4 Falcon inside the F-102A. This is specifically why they are exclusive to the F-106A, with its larger weapons bay.

There is a bug report concerning this:

Might I add, missiles that you just need to turn slightly to the left or right for them to miss because no proximity fuses lmao

Sigh, we have a bug report for the missing SUU-11 gunpods that has been accepted for the F-102A.

this is physically impossible and has 0 evidence

The main reason they are missing, besides them aiming at a point in empty space, is because the missiles are limited to 5,75º of fin AoA when the should have at least 24º, although the proxy fuse would be helpful to mitigate server desync.

gimme XAIM-4H F-106 PLEASE gaijin

afaik, only the F-4D tested that

they’ve already put AIM-4G on an F-102 🤷‍♂️

Dude. It’s getting the later missiles due to balancing.

Late Falcons are already near useless on the F-106

The “lack of guns” mention in multiple places is suspicious.

that was not Gaijin’s statement. Gaijin is giving it the Super Falcons under their flawed idea that it could use them. Theres no evidence to say that it can. its not a balancing reason

It does have guns tho? Also I’m pretty sure it physically can’t have 6 AIM-4G/F
