An ‘ungimped’ AAM-4 would just be the current AAM-4 with the same range and less maneuverability. It already matches its range specifications, while exceeding it’s maneuvering performance.
An AAM-4B would have worse time to target in exchange for slightly greater range due to lofting, and a better seeker.
I’ve always seen that source floating around with the STA-3/9 sub-pylons with the “possible” △ x6~8 AAM4/B configuration, what exactly is that and where did that info come from?
Does the JASDF has some double MRM pylon sitting around or is that just some fantasy?
On that line, it says out or in for both sides (which is 1x per side) on top of the 4x existing AAM-4 mounts which means 6x. Either way though, it doesn’t apply since it’s fake sadly. ***If I understand it correctly lol, I’m a ground guy
We have been waiting for a long time for the arrival of the F-2, so the quality criterion must be above all; this includes the HMD and the A2G capability of the radar. And even more essential, a well-made HUD, cockpit with the maximum number of instruments functioning as in real life. Firepower and trying to make it equivalent to other aircraft already existing in the game are not part of my expectations.
