Again, pretty much nothing can help against FoV missile from right distance and in right time.
Not really. I can remember few situations where I was dogfighting on gripen against Su-27 and just spammed flares against their R-73. They missed. Whole point of BOL is that you can spam them A LOT.
You mean worse firing envelope for essentially its current range?
Or AAM-4B which again, is essentially the same range(/slightly more for worse time to target due to lofting) and a better seeker.
Would like to have both AAM-4 buffed and C-5 given.
Thai JAS39E? 9 missiles, AESA radar, MAW, lots of flares, better flight performance. The only issue they are not bought yet
They could’ve added the AAM-4B for the F-2, the plane’s gimmick in air to air would then be maybe the best radar in the game (for now) coupled with not many, but hard to notch radar missiles. That’s how the AAM-4B could be implemented - high notch, chaff and multipathing resistance.
I don’t think Japan would be getting it until at least an update after Sweden gets it, which might not even be this year.
Right now according to a smin comment i saw they are adding 120Cs only to 14.0 planes. If i can find the comment ill add it. Personally i think they should give the C to the F-15J and move it to 14.0.
I think we’ll get 3 JAS39E in one update. Swedish, italian (brazilian) and japanese (thai)
I think Italy is more likely to get Spanish F/A-18 than a Brazilian Gripen. Brazil isn’t really a subnation of the Italian tree, Italy only got the Brazilian AMX cuz the plane is their shared project.
Anyway, back to the Japanese tree - the F-15SG is an option too, but probably higher than 14.0. Those carry AIM-120C-7.
I’d personally hope for both honestly, especially since you can still only carry 4 of the AAM-4s, so you might want to bring AMRAAMs with them.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see them wait until they’re at least built. Delivery is set for 2029, so it might be a while before we see it in game.
i also lookout for the 4+6 loadout, but dont find more infos. when nobody have more infos where is no way to go.
i would be fine with this, when the SU30SM loose her double launcher. its totally fantasy, not needed and a buff for all other planes.
i only play sim and this the only plane that power creeps. with that ahistorical loadout.
If ASEAN subtree really added to Japan there a tons of plane that using AIM-120C-7, other than F-15SG we have Indo F-16A, Malaysia F/A-18 C/D, Japan itself also got AIM-120C-7 too but just not sure is it used on F-2 or just F-15J
Sudden question: can F-2 carry more than 4 IR missiles?
Nope
Sad. I wanna try it in SQBs. AAM-4 are not that useful there. More AAM-3 would be nice to have
I can use the opportunity to catch up with you: Could you bring a roundup of the things that have been sent in for suggestions regarding F-2.?
(I’m already following the repots, it would be nice to list the ones that weren’t passed on to the devs)
Don’t forget Yak-141, F-16AJ, Maus, Heavy tank no.6… The list goes on…
Since a lot of suggestions are being deflected on the community bug reporting page, I went ahead and made a Dev Server thread for people to show their support in maybe getting more features added to the F-2A
(yes, I am aware that some of the suggestions posted might be ahistorical, but I’m remaining impartial and leaving all options open to suggestion)
Thailand itself has both C-5 and C-7 for gripen or F-16a eMLU for other options
for BVR (which is the meta ig), its better to have 6+ Missiles so you can defend against incoming Fox 3s or overwhelm an enemy. but yeah i use 4+4 on the F-15J(M) too
