Block 60 is F-16E desert falcon for UAE (sorry I had to)
Not a C
blocks and versions are not the same, american F-16s were upgraded to blocks 60 and then 70 iirc but they remain F-16Cs
Might be wrong tho but that’s what I was told everywhere
F-2A is more of a anti ship/multirole whilst the F-15MJ is a dedicated Fighter/Interceptor if I recall
Block 60 is a pretty radical upgrade of the F-16 that was only operated formally by UAE. US f-16 are upgraded to 70 standard.
Alright that’s also what I seemed to find by searching just now… Did you find what the super kai was based on tho? I can’t seem to find reliable info on this
Finding reliable sources is so hard for this kind of things
@WreckingAres283 made an April fools suggestion for it, I think the wiki writer just screwed up and it should say F-16E blk 60
Oh alright, makes sense… The sources are trust me bro though, I can’t find anything other than wikipedia saying it’s block 60
He put a page from a book/brochure in Japanese, it had GE-132 on image of super kai which means it has to be a block 60

is it known for sure if even the f-2 will arrive in the next update or in any future update?
They stated that a japanese jet is coming next update, we’re guessing the F-2A but maybe they’re just trolling us very hard and it’s gonna be another paper plane
Appeared in last leak list, and we know Japan is getting a jet next update. So nothing confirmed, but with how much players want the F-2, it is very likely it could come.

We have comment from BVVD that it comes “most likely this year”, information about new jet for Japan in community report #6. Japan also doesn’t have 14.0 plane. So, we’re hoping for the F-2 in the next update, but nothing is confirmed

Aesa that’s probably gonna be the same as all the non gimbaled peas/aesa and is still going to be worse than the gimbaled pesa on something like the su-30sm. And those Japanese missiles are still worse than the modernized aim-120s/aim-260, at least in game.

it also appeared in the previous two leak lists, so…
Well, all we can do is cope and hope for the best.
The F-2 coming won’t give us a 14.0, it is just worse then the F-15JM

Completely depends on what Gaijin does or doesn’t do with it.
If it comes with HMD, AAM-4B, 6 ARH missiles, an actual functioning radar (ala Rafale), then it’s solidly put in 14.0 material.
Having some of those features puts it barely at 14.0, but lacking all of that, then I agree it would be 13.7 at best.
Yea, it’s a high likelyhood but it’s all up in the air (no pun intended). Rafale, EFT, and Hornet got a direct tease in the CM posts (“Keep an eye out for the start of the dev blogs and watch out for extreme weather!” and “We can say that one vehicle in the next major is definitely causing a buzz. We know a great many of you will be eager to get your hands on it and and leave your opponents with a real stinging sensation!”).
Meanwhile for this update, we got: “There will of course be aircraft too, including a rather cool helicopter for the USA and a jet for Japan.”. At least for US we can have a good guess because a cool helicopter puts it as a unique one. For Japan, it’s just they get a jet which could range from any old post war jet to a sub-tree jet to actually F-2 or some other F-15 variant.
