It appears I did forget the guns in the nose.
Appreciate the reminder.
It seems I was half asleep, because the 1,051st post I made has disappeared(or maybe it was deleted). For the AAM‑3, please refer to page 174 of the TRDI 50th Book. It is publicly available. The relevant page is included in that TRDI50_07.pdf.

It seems to be back. Thank you.

I completely forgot about this…
It even confirms directly that the AAM-3 was developed for use with the F-15 and the F-4

One crash is not indicative of quality.

Don’t tell them about every aircraft ever made having accidents, it might blow their mind.

Biased?

Last crash of F-2 was 4 years ago so it is quiet normal

IIRC, in japanese service the F-2 has less then half the amount of incidents per flight hour then the F-15J. And the F-15 is already considered one of the most reliable fighter aircraft ever, so…
(Although tbf, this number is skewed somewhat by just how many F-15J incidents japan had within their first few years of operation, with them having a decently higher number of incidents then other F-15 operators.)

2 accidents during 14 years
Oh my god
Damn
Flights must be canceled
Planes are dangerous
I know I am yelling but damn this logic is typical for any “I am against something and don’t know statistic in question”
You are talking like 2 ways:
- You are anti Defense forces volonteer
- You are reading many Chinese sites about Forces but there are many of them with extremely strong criticism which is not always justified

That’s a total of 4 F-2’s crashed from a total of 98 aircraft, or ~4.08% of aircraft lost to crashes.
For comparison the F-15, generally considered to be among the best combat aircraft lost 126 to crashes (not counting aircraft lost to enemy fire or on the ground) out of the 1138 that the US operated. This is a staggering 11.07% loss rate.
You have to be really delusional to think this translates into quality.

i was confused for a second there
it was suddenly changed to crashes report which
- not really inline with what i though of, which is WT Forum of suggestion and/or information of vehicle that can be added to that nation
- the only connection of that to WT is the player 100% never crash whatsoever /s
but go on, it’s still entertaining

There are many reasons why the F-2 is about to retire, and none of them are because it’s a bad aircraft.
Cost overruns, shifting threat concerns/ideas on what future warfare will entail. Japan’s general goal of forward development of domestic technologies. And more.
And again, if you compare it’s service record of incidents, there are very very few planes with better.

It would be best to get back to a constructive conversation regarding the topic of this thread.
