He also confirmed that such features don’t produce a substantial difference between the PESA radars in game which is extremely incorrect and we also had the entire bit about AESA radars supposedly not having a vastly superior scan rate to PESA and mechanical radars, which they do IRL.
I do not find his statements to be founded in truth for a myriad of items present in WT especially after the entire MANPADS debacle.
Gaijin dev’s ignored even stuff from japanese mod.go cause its a “unreliable source”, despite being from the japanese ministry of defence and unclassified (so all public info)
F-4EJ Kai still lacking lots of things despite agreeing with DMM to implement for years now
I mean, last time we were teased a Japanese multirole fighter they made up their what-if downgraded version of a rejected proposal, so who knows what lengths they’ll go to delay F-2…
F-2 would be amazing, but for all we know they could just add the early 1986 F-16C Block 40 proposal.
Not only a proposal, we know from the GAO Report that Japan received a F-16C Block 40 for research. It was fully disassembled but still more real than F-16AJ.
F-16A OCU from Thai tech tree into 12.7 plane w/o 9M and 120, remove AJ completely from the game, F-2A Early at 13.0, F-16C Block 40 as 13.7 premium, F-2A Late as 14.0 top plane.
Of course, we won’t get this. I expect just 3 versions of F-2A. 2 Early as tech tree and premium, Late as 14.0 top tier plane. They mentioned one plane for Japan, not two.
not 4 version?
XF-2 use aim-7 and aam-3 with J/APG-1
F-2 early use aim-7 and aam-3 with J/APG-1
F-2 late aam-4 and aam-3 with J/APG-1 (maybe 14.0 who know?)
F-2 late kai use aam-4b and aam-5 with J/APG-2 ( this is on I think should at 14.7 maybe)
