was it overpowered back then?
It was added at the same BR as F-100 and MiG-19, and easily slaughtered the both of them with way better speed, acceleration and overall performance. Very very strong for release.
wait was there any higher br back then?
Nope. And the MiG-19 had a much worse FM than what it has now.
fuck this thing was op back then… now I want a few old lobbies…
(used the premium t-2 for my lootbox addiction)
You have no idea
There was a map where Japan would face US, JP side would have an Airspawn while US would take off from the Airfield and the map wasn’t very big
F-86 Sabres would just start to take off and they’d have T-2s going supersonic in their face, no Airfield AA back then either.
but I do have the idea how good this thing is rn, this plane is quite fun to play.
I think I would lost how many 7+ kill games I have in this thing(I do know it was 12vs12 back then. maybe some maps were even 6vs6)…
back then there was probably some planes/tanks where there was some kind of bias, but saying bias to it rn feels ehhh…
Meanwhile there was a map where US troops landing into the Japanese islands but boats was full of tanks and it was only units
After tanks landing Japan side couldn’t do anything because they didn’t have (and don’t have now) any attackers to destroy 40+ tanks
You meant anti Japan bias?
Saipan?
You could also destroy all the landing craft with 7.7s and win the game through tickets
though this would be old RB and average US team would throw in <10 mins anyway
Not only Japan, Britain, China, Israel… It is like due to those big nations got some pretty good thing, then Gaijin will let these small nations get some food waste from the table. Till now, Japan might be one of the nations that got pretty good treatment, new sub-tree, new CAS, new SPAA, and new big ships…the only suffering might be due to R2Y2s being removed, Gaijin even chose to afford tons of Chinese players mad to let Japan get ASEAN vehicles. So, what can Japan be more biased? Make Yamoto better?

Lol they should stay mad, they already have 2 seperate trees and japan got some cas stuff fixed. There are still gaps that can be fixed by just adding japanese tanks, or giving some aircraft their right loadout…
The F-2 was added far too late, but I would hardly call it any sort of bias.
Gaijin likely knew far too little about the jet until far too late to realize what it actually was and when it should’ve been added. The development cycle for a vehicle in war thunder is what? A year to two years? Its unlikely they had even started working on the F-2 by the time the AJ was added. It wouldn’t have been until then that they would’ve learned about it’s actual performance, by which point in the dev cycle it would’ve already been too late for it to get into game by the time it should’ve been.

I believe this issue has been resolved. The already-arrived Thai sub-tree and the soon-to-arrive Indonesian sub-tree will effectively fill the problem.
In terms of air RB, I would say every aircraft is under powered against Rafale and Typhoon(Typhoon is above average but not as OP as Rafale). But on other hand, in ground RB China is definitely under powered at top tier, since China did not get a good SPAA just like Japan in the last update and ZTZ 99A also sucks on almost all aspects except mobility. So the real problem is in ground RB, Japan and China did not have balanced MBT and SPAA, their MBTs are all good at something not very important at top tier with lack of armor or fire power.

ZTZ99A has a competitive round, is very mobile, has average to above average armor for the BR.
The only “negative” is a 7.1 second reload, which is a marginal negative.
SU30 and Rafale can be the most choice for Japan

Dude, ZTA 99A’s gun shield, driver’s view port and lower glacis are huge comparing to T-80 and its gun penetration and reload time is also weaker than T-80, and also no side armor, it is basically a nerfed T-80 with slightly better mobility. But mobility means almost nothing at today’s top tier environment, since developers keeps making shitty map design which encourage player fight face to face, unless it can go over 80kmh otherwise the mobility will only be a marginal positive. And 7.1 second reload is a marginal negative? it is the most slow reload at top tier, if it is marginal then I’m not sure which tank has significant negative on reload time. Dont forget when you are judging top tier reload time you are not judging how fast they are, you should compare how much faster than other tanks.
