I can tell you’re a CAS hater, but you’re barking up the wrong tree here. Japan never had a strong CAS plane, not even now with the Thai F-16 and Gripen.

Jokes on you, JDAMs /LJDAMs are among the best A-G weapons in the game

Eh, at least with Gripen Japan reached same CAs capabilities that Sweden has (even tho it’s one of the worst one), it is still straight up better than AJ or OCU thanks to Thermal pod and 65G’s.
So now tge preorder for the ADTW is up
By how they wrote it, it sowns ASM-2 is only for ships
And we cant test it

Yeah, it came out at least six months late.
“AAM-4 medium-range missile, featuring a ARH homing head, which are approximately similar in efficiency and guidance to the American AIM-120A.”
Therefore, the practical range of the AIM-120C-7 is not much different from the AIM-120A, as the C-5 is known.

" It has a longer wing," only one?

“F-2A’s speed, rate of climb and maneuverability to the level of some of the best aircraft in the game, only slightly inferior to the F-16.”It’s like a joke.

Its dev blog dont take it too seriously they are almost always inconsistent and sometime dont even match what its like in live gameplay

Doesn’t it have (atleast on stat card) 18.4s of turn rate? (on dev server)
You would be surprised but monoplanes has only one wing. Thing you ment called wing console

The only thing the current F-2 is inferior in is top speed and acceleration but it beats the F-16 in maneuverability in every way

At least in maneuverability it’s easily one of the best in the game, far better than the F-16s. My guess is they meant the speed being slightly worse and just worded it weirdly.

I definitely feel this.
I would’ve at least expected something comparable to a Su-34 meta-wise (Electronically scanned array radar, no HMD, decent at A2A, and good F&F ground strike capability in return for not having all the bells and whistles) but it doesn’t even have the ASM-3, with it being less likely that the ASM-2 being able to target ground at all by the time the live server rolls around, meaning you have a very ok sidegrade in the Japanese tree at 13.7
I still remember when Gaijin staff stated that the F-2A would be too powerful and now look, they would introduce this plane past the point that it would be able to shine in the spotlight 😂

We always knew that advanced comment was BS since they coulda added the ADTW with Air Superiority and nobody woulda batted an eye lol

As a ground rb player, the only reason i would preorder an aircraft wpuld be for its CAS capabilities
And for a $80 F-2 the only reason would be if the ASM-2 were effective against tanks, since they are new and unique missiles for Japan
But right now theres no way of knowing, and things kinda point towards they are for ships only
So if thats the case then i dont see worth in buying/grinding a less CAS effective F-16ish jet just for a skin and its name
Even the OCU would be a better CAS with 6 AGMs, 2 GBUs and even 2 ARH AAMs at the same br.
If the ASM-2 turns out to be effective against tanks, then i will be willing to buy it.
