Yes but I’d say it’s more favorable than not that we’ll see HMD but we have to wait and see before we doom and gloom. But like I said, vertical ACM at least will help in dogfights, mostly for gun lead
Fox 3s are nice but in GRB they’re really only useful for taking care of high flying CAS or keeping someone on the deck. Otherwise you can still multipath very well to close in the distance and 1 vs 1. What’s more dangerous is smokeless ir missiles even through maws. However, dogfights leave the deck sometimes and in those cases yes, off boreshot aam-4 is useful. Though realistically, probably will be jettisoning aam-4s if it gets to that point as they are too heavy to dogfight with
Anyhow, guys I think I’ll agree to disagree with the BR rating. Ultimately, I don’t care if its 14.0, 20.0, 1.0, or 9999.0, I’m going to be excited for it and playing it anyway as I’ve only ever expected a better F-16AJ with AAM-3 and AAM-4 with a drogue chute :P
NGL i think we can fairly safely say it’s only gonna get 6 ARHs at best, as the justifications for them kinda contradict each other.
Either Gaijin gives us the inner most one, as it should seem to be able to physically mount them, but wasn’t originally intended to. Or they give us the outside one, which was intended to, but never physically could.
I have a question about the F-2. Gaijin keeps delaying it and saying that it would be too OP. Is it because of the AESA radar? Is it that different to the current AESA radars on some aircraft already in game? At this current time i feel like by the time it comes out it will be extremely outdated by other aircraft or DOA. Hell at this point I’d say we will get Korea as a Nation before the F-2
