It would come out at the same time the F-16C came out, not before. Which meant us Japan mains would have had to wait 9 months at most. Again it woulda sucked but would be far better than the AJ and wouldn’t have opened that pandora’s box. Though if they actually added the AJ as is in the brochure with the gear door sparrows and guided bombs, it would be far better.
No worries, I don’t hold it against non-Japan mains who aren’t in tune with what Japan has. Just wanted to put it out there so others also know instead of repeating the same thing lol.
In reality I believe it did, actually more than likely the XF-2B used it while the XF-2A was testing other things (though later they were all converted to production anyway).
However there were provisions to use the APG-68 as the J/APG-1 was in development at the time and if it wasn’t ready by the time they were testing the XF-2A then APG-68 would have been used.
In other words, it’s an option Gaijin can leverage if they want to avoid AESA.
Wanting 1 competetive plane =/= wanting every plane from every country.
See this is exactly the disingenuous word twisting BS I am tlaking about, you guys pull up each time.
Quite contrary it´s funny to see people like you panic when Germany finally gets comparable planes a year after everyone else.
I really don’t see the point in the dutch Leo 2s tbh. The 2A6 (especially the 2A6NL) would be pretty meh, nothing that makes France meta. Maybe this is one of those additions that becomes useful in 2 years when it brings a 2A8?
As cool as the Hornet are, and even if historical we could put link between Swiss and France, i still prefer domestic stuff. It would be hypocrit for me to say no for F18 to Germany and yes for it for France xD
Meanwhile i would like those French-Swiss joint project more :)
That’s my main concern about subTTs.
I’m sorry but I don’t know what you’re refereny that was added 9 months before the f16c
On another note, I keep thinking of the AJ as a fighter with some cas capacity. I view addition of most planes through the lense of airRB and if memory serves it was officially stated that the AJ got added because there’d have been nothing for Japan for long time and that hole was in the fighter role
But I am also aware of how bad the state of Japanese cas is so I see why you keep referring to it as that
I bet that this is actually what will happen like always since 2020. Everyone gets their toys, then Germany gets it too but year later when meta already shifted and also only first in the form of an event vehicle.
IDK why is this so confusing to Spaz or funny to you. Bad memory?
I mean in the end it doesn´t affect me personally much. I still have my top tier fun in other nations. But at least I am capable of objectively seeing what´s going on.
