Gameplay Additions for the F-2A

Since AAM-4 fuel report for accepted does it mean calculations for thrust should also be implemented?

I wonder why J/APG-2’s NCTR can only identify 9 kinds of aircrafts or flying objects. Shouldn’t it be like Rafale’s or Su-30sm’s, which could recognize the specific type of an aircraft? As a newer radar retrofitted in the 2010s, doesn’t it have this feature?
Another question is, why the F-2a is lack of MAWS/ omnidirectional rwr?

Probably placeholder for now

Because community wasn’t able to find much information about J/ASQ-2 IEWS and gaijin doesn’t care enough. Maybe somebody should ask DMM to ask JASDF directly, becasue publically there practically nothing about it

On this I wonder what was Praetorin DASS of EFT based on becasue I’m pretty sure technical documentation for it is also classified

F-15J(M) also should has J/ASQ-1 rear hemisphere MAWS and J/APR-4B but you know how it ended up

Currently, the F-2A is among the best 13.7s in the game.
AAM-4B would make it 15.0 minimum.
Ahistorical changes would increase its lethality beyond that of 13.7.

More or less, with an emphasis on the “less”

How bad did the 120C actually get nerfed? Is it basically just a different flavoured 120A/B at this point? XD

Yes. Believe it or not, yes. Just a bit lower drag

Ohhh I know why, it’s cause it got added to the Typhoon for Gaijin to PRETEND they care about it, but out of habit they had to nerf its newest weapon :(

Could’ve sworn the c5 got an upgraded sustainer as well?

This means that there is no significant increase in range for the same size, as there is with the AAM-4.
If you want truly long-range missiles, you need the AIM-174 or Meteor.

I mean until the meteor gets added there will be increases in range, but very slightly and it will progress rather slowly until we get to the 120Ds (unless Gaijin just want to full send it by the end of the year, you never know.)

Not really true at all. (also F-2 Super Kai is paper)

For modern(ish) vehicles, it can still receive F-4EJ Kai ADTW (Similar to F-4F ICE), F-15J(M) ADTW, F-2 variants (XF-2, F-2 (E) / (L)), T-1/4, F-15DJ, F-15JSI, and other F-15J Variants (missing upgrades). If we want to add captured vehicles then the MiG-25P!

Other than that, I assume some ASEAN country (or just ASEAN) can come as a subtree, as Thailand only really has the F-5TH + Gripen E left to add.

Two out of the 3 planes you mentioned have HMDs.

HMS =/= HMD they are not the same

No, they denied the calculations, they will add the aditional fuel however they see fit.

Anyone have sources for the capabilities of the ASM-2B’s ground attack capability? Building a report for it.

Edit: The only real official source I can find is the Year History of the Technology Research and Development Center P196-198:

Which doesn’t cover the improvements to the missile.
Screenshot 2025-06-05 123203
Screenshot 2025-06-05 122939

Then there’s the procurement PPT showing the ASM-2B but no further information.

Unfortunately there isn’t enough source material I can use on the post either.

Jane’s 2003 edition but too old, looking for newer:

I will stop to play on Japan planes after update. Only 2 f-2 planes and one for money.
I will not buy premium plane, because 13.0 then enemies have 12.7 planes (f-18, f-16) with same or best abilities.
So if developers want to do second fa*** prem jet for Japan. I just hope people will not buy f-2, like they did with phantom. Just put Japan planes in trash box before they give us normal 14.0 plane.

I hope ASM-2B comes, but I’m afraid because of the nature of the missile, Gaijin may not decide to add it on the same grounds as to when the Grom-1 was removed (you can’t have a GPS guided cruise missile for easy ground base farming etc etc)
