Another leaklist, another F-2 mentioned. Surely this time it has to come, right? 🤡

It will come, not because of these fake lists but because of the real leak we got here

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.

what gaijin could have added instead of the AJ
They should replace the AJ with the F-2 early

could be good
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)

The kai was never built
It was an upgrade on paper and was later canceled because it was too expensive
well i use wrong word, im not mean the upgrade plan i just use this name to mention it’s missle different (aam4b and aam5), not the full upgrade plan

F-2A Super Kai was never built, Only on paper. If I recall due to american interference prompting them to purchase the F-35A instead of going ahead with the super kai program
Yes but Japan has basically nothing else of their own air force until the F-35, so in this case the super kai seems very legitimate to me. Yes it’s a paper plane, but a paper plane much more legit that the F-16AJ

Japan did trial some aircraft, few notable being the Mirage, F-14A Blk 135 and F-111. Could add that to spruce up the air tree
As well as implementing the later variant’s of the previous aircraft (Late version of F-1/T-2/F-4EJ/F-4EJ Kai)

Ok they tried some foreign aircrafts, but what’s better: copypasting aircrafts from others nations which Japan never used, or add a plane that was cancelled but is Japanese tech?
Even though the Super Kai was never built, it could’ve been and at least it’s somewhat unique.
The copypaste aircrafts could be added, but rather as premiums
well most of modern japanese air is just “copy paste” due to it adopting US aircraft
the thing that would make it different, visually same. how it performs and what it has is different
also yes the super kai was never built. And it would be really fuckin amazing if they added it. However the problem here is mains from other nations would cause a whole shitfest over it

True I guess, but in the case of Japan it’s legitimate to give them the super kai since it’s not less real than the AJ they currently have

Considering we have an M47 in the ground tree that was only used to study and compare it to the STA prototypes at the time, it seems entirely feasible to me that they could add that.
