Well, according to gaijin, the psp radar doesn’t have tws, only raid (even though it had tws irl)
A guy shared a picture of the amraam compatible rails of the F-15JM when the advanced fox 3s came, they were definitely present on the wings as well, unfortunately I don’t have the specific picture but it was probably the reason gaijin added it thanks to his report

We really don’t know at this point, Japan has been ordering amraams for both their F-35s and F-15s, like I said there was a picture reported to gaijin showing amraam compatible pylons on the wings of the F-15J, maybe it was still just a test at the time but with their ongoing efforts to upgrade their Eagles to the JSI, could be possible that these pylons are making their way into service, there are also rumors about the F-2 receiving amraam compatibility but still unconfirmed, would be cool to see it eventually though
I’m not crazy right
J/AAQ-2 has an A2A function similar to an IRST, correct?

F-2 had BOL?
Sorry, miss type. I meant that the F-2A is meant to have 120 CM but hasnt been buffed yet on the dev and everyother tech tree has aircraft with expanded flare modules(BOL).
not USSR, and US only has it on one mediocre jet, Israel doesnt have it at all
Which is equivalent to an F-15, since they deploy 1 at a time. What’s your point?
Over half the roster has over 300CM
No they do not.
And the ones that do have an excessive amount of CMs deploy in multiples of 2 or more, giving them roughly the same or less than 120 single deploy.
The only “true” CM carriers are EFT and F-15I, everything that relies on BOL pods are just cope because of how dogshit BOL CMs are
EFT also relies heavily on BOL, it’s BOL Rails are just built in the airframe. The EFT carries 64 Large Caliber CMs, the remaining 320 are BOL

Both of which are 14.0, not 13.7 which is what the F-2A is going to be at.

Idk if they actually modelled with BOL or normal CMs
Let’s be honest 0.3 BR difference in our game is not something anybody really cares about, it is nice to be able to meet 12.7 (tho for 12.7 to meet AESA radar is opposite of fun) realistically 14.0 is a main competition
That doesn’t change the fact that if he wants to talk about it’s “roster”, it’s equivalents are the 13.7 aircraft and not 14.0 aircraft.

But you get constant upteir to 14.0 because the large majority is playing 14.0 Aircraft
It’s still not a 14.0 aircraft so adding them to the comparison is laughable, and funnily enough doesn’t even help your point because you would still be wrong in that no half the roster does not have 300+CMs

Possibly. Currently trying to figure out if regular production spec ones have it or if it was just a modification for one prototype.

I think C-1 is likely just refers to first production lot and not independent modification, tho I don’t have anything to back it
Same, honestly. There are other mentioned docs in it which mention ESM stuff using an unspecified FLIR (Literally just the J/AAQ-2, as the F-2 has no other FLIRs). Which should say that it has IR tracking regardless, but… There is a doc talking about a different IR device in the paper, and its unclear what its referring to, as outside of the listing of the document we have basically no other word on it. WIth neither ATLA or TRDI having put out anything on such an IR sensor.
