I’m actually curious, are there any active F-2s using AAM-5 or is that purely just an ADTW thing too?
Not that I expect AAM-5 anytime soon, but it’s just, I wonder if AAM-5 is even an option or if it was just planned (maybe “planned” like the HMD too).

it can carry AAM-5’s
AAM-5 aren’t a serive weapon of the F-2 yet, and only used by ADTW aircraft so far.
But AAM-5 are compatible with the F-2, since they don’t need anything that the AAM-3 doesn’t already need. Even pre-MSIP F-15Js can use the AAM-5.

Yea, I’m aware, but was just curious.
Since F-15Js have 9Ms, not like AAM-5 for F-2 is out of the question, whenever it’s appropriate that is.
That being said, I think AAM-5 looks ugly on the F-2 and the AAM-3 is just too iconic for it.

I will say it again - just give the F-2 AAM-4B with improved notch, chaff and ground clutter resistance and its good enough to be 14.0.
Ofc it’s not just that irl, but the normal AAM-4 isn’t what it’s supposed to be anyway.
Or maybe Gaijin won’t add the F-2 anytime soon and we will have AIM-120D before the Viper Zero.

I agree, in that, just giving it the AAM-4B to give it something unique that others don’t and give it some competitive edge.

I said this in the R&R thread but, I am a bit hopeful because, on one hand, CM update news generally hints at what’s to come that we generally already knew thanks to leaks and such, with it being more confirmation to drum up hype. However, on the other hand, those posts also usually drop something really obvious like “storm” or “sting” as a way to more or less confirm and set our expectations.
The newest CM post, while mentioning a new jet for Japan, doesn’t have these kind of direct hints. I think most of that actually went to naval. But also, at the same time, there is only one jet that everyone is asking for, for Japan, and that’s the F-2 (even the RU stream spams it from RU players). So even mentioning a new jet for Japan in a way is kind of confirming it (and it was leaked last update as coming, just delayed, much like the EFT and F-18s were).
For my sanity, I’m still going to take it with a grain of salt, as it could just be something Thai related, a.k.a. not F-2, but I am hopeful that this upcoming update might be the update of all time for us.

I have it in the back of my head that GJ could be just messing with people hoping for the F-2 with one of the following:
P-1 would be cool, but not what’s needed.

Wouldn’t say no to the Sabre Dog, even if it would be borderline unplayable garbage.

I wouldn’t mind the T-1 honestly I’ve been spreading its word since before the thai sub tree was added, and now with the R2Y2’s gone well we need something around that area
