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.

Does it says this different device is tested on F-2 specifically or just mentioned?
Becasue if second it might be referring to J/AAQ-1 from U-125A
Also, when did reports you have were written? I found this report FY2004 Policy Evaluation Report (Ex-Post Project Evaluation). With my very limited understandding of japanese and help from deepseek (so take futher information with bag of salt) we came to conclusion it talks specifically about production spec FLIR and as far as I understand prototype was only used for ground-based testing and tests from ~2001 was already done with production speced model
Tho in this report there is nothing specifically on air-to-air intercept
There are people here who are critical of Japan. Please criticize the imaginary ASM in the same way ツ
- How being critical of a country correlates with anything about plane itself
- I see that you have raised a lot of concerns about possible F-2 weapon loadouts, but it would be nice if instead of pointlessly arguing with people, you brought some evidence to support your concerns.
He is an American boy who criticizes the Soviet Union and EFT, but that is off topic, so he said that he was criticizing Japan as a matter of fact. So, what you’re trying to say is this. Blah
It’s so strong that it’s finally here after more than a year! It’s the F-2! Yes, a year ago was enough xD
No. I’m pointing out that complaining about CM count on the F-2 (once it gets the 120 the devs are already aware it is supposed to be and going to be fixed according to the dev stream) is just coping because 120 single deploy is essentially the same or better number of uses as every aircraft at its BR unless it has BOL pods, which 1.)are not as widespread as they should be and 2.) are not as effective as they should be.

Yep, yet another pointless discussion. Let’s not go any further.
