I’d stop grinding Thai sub tree to get it, then spade it for the Thai sub tree. XD
Speculative, but we shall see.
F-15E and Su-30SM being out-sustained is obvious though.
That’s a lot…
The Typhoon and Rafale’s FBW systems aren’t doing that in War Thunder currently, so I doubt F-2’s will either.
Gaijin refusing to model anything properly speedrun any%
The point i was trying to make by it being capped at 22 degrees is how low that is, virtually every plane can exceed that. F-16s can pull up to 26 and eurofighters pull over 30 at low speeds.
Of course, i do not expect it to be restricted in game, itll br able to go over it, but considering how low its safe operating limits are, i do not expect it to pull much more, especially given that even with the lower AoA it still managed to have such good instantanious turn rate
And, yeah, i know theres a good chance it doesnt come to game like ive said, but if its to be anywhere irl accurate, it should perform kind of like this.
i mean iirc its a pretty advanced hydraulic control system so maybe there are some limitations imposed, that can be bypassed if necessary
This is probably the thing to focus on anyway. It’s not like AoA is always a good thing. Being able to actually turn and get inside someone’s turn circle efficiently is also a good thing. So I guess at the end of the day that’s the real question of how Gaijin will model that
Honestly, I don’t see a reason to doom and gloom about it just yet. For all we know they could make it a UFO before they nerf/change it few months after release (or not)
Guys you will never fucking guess what i found.
The fabled Shimadzu HMD for the F-2, it actually fucking exists.
POG. But its probably only for ADTW for now , isnt it?
All F-2s were modified with provisionally increased processing power and throughput for HMD (along with other things). But there’s no actual official mention of it being tested. In theory gaijin could very well give it to all of them, even though at best it was tested by ADTW irl.
The maximum AOA Typhoon pulls is around 750 - 820kph, I know this cause I was the one that tested it, and it was =/<27 degrees.
At low speed it peaks at 23.7.
Now, you might see a vehicle do a cobra, but if you record that at 60 FPS it’s not going to a high AOA recorded, cause a cobra takes time.
I was talking about IRL, i have proof, but it’d be a shame if the EF-2000 flight manual made it’s way onto the forums for a fourth time, so i can’t send it.
That being said, i’m surprised it’s that low, even an F-15 can pull like 34 in game, without even needing it’s AoA override.
F-15 in-game pulls less.
Well well well. Now it’s in the realm of plausibility
…Why does it look like it came out of an anime, with those… wings on top?
My man has not seen Shimadzu’s commercial HMDs, it’s honestly normal in comaprison
Those don’t have wings!
Looks like a normal helmet with a go-pro
this is now standard for the F-2A (HMD im referring to)
This is not, despite provisions for mounting HMD, it is not currently used on them. This HMD never made it to production. JHMCS doesn’t appear to work, and Shimadzu is still developing their newer gen HMD.
Anyways, something i was about to say, before i found this major revolation of the F-2 having an HMD tested, was a smaller revelation. The direction finding RWR system tested on 63-8502, does not, as we previously believed, require physical modification. According to TRDI60 it was designed to use existing F-2 hardware. With the extra stuff being for testing. Meaning that in theory any F-2 could potentially use the direction finding RWR function (although i high doubt it was actually rolled out to additional units IRL).
Should I invest in a Japanese premium?
No.
At least wait until the 50% sales roll around.
