loadout has been improved but ADTW can still carry loadouts impossible on the A.
unless the sniper is >17.6kg heavier than the J/AAQ-2?

So, still no ir seeker for ASM-2
ASMs now can be fired at aircraft if you get a lock, not like it does anything, thing’s slow af, and doesn’t pull any Gs
Stats are still wrong, HE amount, speed, etc.
For some reason GMTI now lets me lock on non moving targets like airfield AAA and some times even stopped tanks
I managed to get some kills on a random ground battle, (both ai and a player vehicle) but i had all the time to select targets and get them lock, also fire them at like 5km, so no realistic scenario.
I want to test the IR ASM-2s so bad, plz gaijin, add them already.
Also sniper pod is really good, did the ADTW ever used it?

Great
Context?
Seems old problem why sea skimming wasn’t possible in war thunder was solved

The hmd
It is practically impossible, non of the openly availible sources has anything about HMD ever being implemented, nor there a single photo of pilots with JHMCS or Shimadzu HMD even in ADTW owned F-2s. If it was ever completely tested information is very likely classified

A new update for the test server came out. Why doesnt the ASMs have sea skimming? They just only added it to the german one.
I don’t think this is unique to the F-2 but, since the drogue chute replenishes itself automatically after use (without needing to re-arm), and the F-2 doesn’t have the chute in a closed container with some kind of lid, once the chute is cut away, a new one comically grows into place lol.
You don’t notice it on planes like the Phantoms because once the chute is cut, the container’s lid closes. Not sure if this is worth a bug report or not
Because ASMs not finished
The SAS system - in Damping mode seems uncontrolled, it’s like it’s still in manual control mode.
Another problem is with the TWS which identifies the target but when it tries to make the first lock it simply loses the radar target.
the HMD was only tested on the F-2A 501 ADTW unit
Given we have some ahistorical implementations e.g. Yak141’s IRST (it never operated one), mig21sps-k having r-3r’s (wasnt used on the german variant), YAK-9K’s APHE not killing the engine when fired (realistically it can fire the APHE but as a result damaging the engine to the point it doesnt work) and so on
So it would only be fair to give a bit of ahistorical leanway and give HMD

Where is concrete proof of this? That is what Gaijin is asking for to treat it the same as Rafale HMD

I’d need to deep dive into finding it, as I was informed about the 501operating it. However given gaijin is pick and choose with what gets what despite it even not having it IRL. F-2A should be considered to get the same treatment
If there is documentation, then need to find and post it because that’s currently what Gaijin is asking for. Without it, there will be no HMD no matter how much anyone says they used it or not.
I assume on the Rafale side they have documentation which is why they were easily able to have
