Well, soviet got both thrust vector missiles and 27ER, also pantsir and spall liners for t90m ahead of everyone else. I don’t see any reason why that can be added but not good missile for JP except for being biased

No they didn’t…
R-27ER came after AIM-7F/M, its analogue. USA got such a missile first.
Spall liners came with 2A5+ and T-90M, not just T-90M.
Brits got thrust vectoring missiles first, they’re called SRAAMs. R-73s are the 2nd.
Japan has good missiles, Japan has the best IR missile in the game, AAM-3.
If AAM-4 cannot be picked up on pitbull then it shouldn’t be added, otherwise it should as it’d be a good R-77-1 analogue.
The AAM-4 is also quite a bit heavier than the AMRAAM, and can only be carried by numbers of 4 on any given airframe. An F-15 can carry twice the amount of AMRAAMs than it can AAM-4s.
So wouldn’t balance dictate twice the lethality too?

Which might be even better soon if reports on IR/UV seeker are passed.

There were also those BTT mechanics reported which would increase maneuverability but who knows if they implement that anytime soon

Likely it’s going to take a bit, since prior to my report on BTT mechanics being passed a report was passed on dual-plane maneuvering, I believe close to or over a year prior, and we still haven’t seen anything about that.

Almost 30% faster(which in BVR is A LOT), can restore target lock after it being lost, does not go into space when target makes slightest turn.
You have a very interesting meaning for word “analogue”
Entirely wrong, we have seen just mention about it only after community rant
Is this a joke?
Which should be soon rival with Magic-2 if Gaijin ever fixed those.

Sir, please don’t derail this discussion with provocative language.
This is about Mitsubishi F-2, a jet Ares, Firereid, & I have been anticipating for years.
If you treat Mitsubishi fans this way, it doesn’t help discussions.

What you are saying is correct in the sense that some country will come out on top, but when the Soviet Union becomes the top, it is almost always implemented with capabilities far exceeding those of the other 9 or 8 countries. Simply put, Soviet OPs are characterized by being large and lasting.
R-27R/ER beeing the only missles with IOG, Datalink and SARH homing beeing a good example

Is the capability being described not just datalink? That’s something other missiles will have when it comes, I think saying it “too good” is a bit silly. (and also plenty of nations get too good missiles and vehicles, this is neither new nor unexpected)

What’s this in response to?
Also yes, I’ll take as much info about the F-2 as possible. It’s my favorite aircraft ever lol.
Man, something about the lack of elevators in the rear just look fugly to me lol. I do love that wing design though.

Yeah its pretty clear they were interested in a “EuroFighter” like design at first
Wasn’t it you who asked me to post it here if I find proof that J/APG-1 can scan ground? In comments under F-2 post on reddit. Unless it’s someone else with your nickname lol

Air and Ground/Sea simultaneous searching/tracking ＾＾
世界初!! 複眼レーダー
World’s first! Compound Eye RadarF-2のレーダーは “複眼” です。小さな目がたくさん集まったトンボの複眼のように、超小型のレーダーを数百個も並べて、ひとつの大きなレーダーとしています。その一個一個をコンピューターで操作することで、電波の方向や強さを自在にコントロールでき、広い範囲をすばやく警戒したり、高速目標をとらえる能力が従来のレーダーより大きく向上したのです。またこれにより、空中と地上の目標を同時に探ることも初めて可能になりました。
The F-2’s radar is “compound eye”. Like the compound eyes of a dragonfly, which are made up of many small eyes, the F-2’s radar is made up of hundreds of ultra-compact radars arranged in a single large radar. By operating each of these radars by computer, the direction and strength of the radio waves can be controlled at will, resulting in a radar that can quickly warn of a wide area and has a much better ability to detect high-speed targets than conventional radars. This also made it possible for the first time to search for targets in the air and on the ground at the same time.周囲への警戒を行いつつ、捕捉した目標の追跡も同時に行うことが可能です。また高高度を高速で移動する航空機と、海上の艦艇など種類の異なる目標を、同時に追跡することができるのも大きな特徴です。
It is capable of simultaneously tracking an acquired target while keeping a watchful eye on the surrounding area. Another major feature is the ability to simultaneously track different types of targets, such as aircraft moving at high altitude and at high speed, and naval vessels at sea.
