Came into the new japanese jet devblog.
[Edited] and saw off-topic-ish arguing as always.
I think I already exceeded my daily dose of forum, as always. :|

By the way, I am glad to see a real F-2A.
After introducing this, I hope that someday, there will be a removal of F-16AJ.

Interesting: The F-2A has the nickname of “Viper Zero”! This name is combined from the F-16’s nickname of “Viper”, and the name of the classic A6M “Zero”.

Hey @Stona_WT this is somewhat not fully accurate to how it got the nickname by the way. The nickname “Viper Zero” is actually a double entandre, both referencing the A6M, but also its planned year of standardization, 2000, which would’ve given it the type 00 designation. This lead it to gaining the nickname of the “Heisei Zero Fighter” or “Millenium Zero Fighter”, before its introduction, which eventually ended up becoming the nickname of “Viper Zero”.

*The type 00 designation did not end up being adopted, due to it’s non-standardized deliveries.

F-2A is my favorite Japanese jet.
Been waiting for a while and glad to see it’s here. :)

That’s even more of an epic name

I was originally planning on getting Gneisenau, but something may have changed my mind today…

So it improved the F-16s design and was then slightly inferior in all these ways? Or just slightly less maneuverable?

The F-2A is more maneuverable, just slower than F-16s.

Oh, by the way… while I prefer no HMD for radar controls, to those that do and want HMD on service F-2A…
Your standard is F-4J, Rafale, and other service aircraft in terms of what kind of evidence to look for; specifically trialed on service aircraft, and not on a prototype.

I support anyone’s and everyone’s endeavor to find evidence to support their cause. I wish you luck in your search, I failed in mine personally.

Where are the pre-order camos??? Since 2-3 updates the cost has drastically increased yet at the same time we no longer get pre-order camos with all vehicles. So we pay more for less and NO!, increased rank is not an argument for increasing the price while removing the pre-order camos. The increase is in line with old increases where we would still get pre-order camos. So, with the increases seen for rank increases, pre-order camos should still be included.

Shrinkflation dude

please just add hms and ground attack capbillities for the asm with ir seeker, we have been waiting so long for this vehicle please just make it good

Usual Alvis juggling what anyone says)))

Not here to cause drama man, he can do what he likes I dont particularly mind nor care.

My question was answered.

Alvis actually was right, he just could of worded it better xD

the advert is written poorly as usual so I thought the prem was getting ARH missiles, when its the TT one getting them, hence the confusion, so yes hes right its 13.0
