Guys you will never fucking guess what i found.
The fabled Shimadzu HMD for the F-2, it actually fucking exists.

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.

if the T-2 early comes could grab that comfortable BR
the ones im aware of is the HMD used on the F-15J(M) used on the F-2, I think this is the recent upgrade. However I am aware it has said HMD (F-15MJ’s one)
HMD was planned, but never fitted to the F-2. The planned HMD was also not the JHMCS, but a domestic development by Shimadzu.
The only F-2 planned to use JHMCS was Lockheeds F-2 Super Kai proposal, which was never actually implemented.

Oh snap…this coupled with the document that mentions planned HMD…we might actually be able to fight for it to be added.
