I’m still learning alot more about the F-2 and japans kit in general both modern and old (like did u know some Type 74’s had autoloaders? same as the STB-1 (its the STB-1’s autoloader))
And do you have sources for this autoloaders with description how it worked?

quite literally this, weirdest autoloader i’ve seen but pretty cool

But it is only patent for autoloader and not really clear was it made like this
most likely it was this, and makes sense
This is the first time I hear of that. Do you have more info on it? From what I understand the extended turrets starting on STA-3 and kept for production Type 74 was to improve manual loading. This would be unnecessary with the autoloader mounted under the gun like STB-1.
So was there a different autoloader mounted to the back of the turret? Or an autoloader retroactively fitted to usually manually loaded tanks? It would be very interesting to see any images or mentions of an autoloader like that, especially with the limited information on the STB-1 autoloader already.

these were early Type 74’s so most likely so few got it, but its the same as the STB-1 ig they tried to see if it will work again and fell flat on their faces

I have a bit of a question regarding these missiles, if launched from above land, they tend to run into terrain or buildings and such; is this realistic?
I feel like for a missile meant for the defense of the Japanese islands, they would allow to at least fire over land against sea targets without having it nosedive into the slightest bit of elevated terrain (after all, it has some crazy range like 50km to 170km)
I believe they should have multiple modes but in typical Gaijin fashion we’re just stuck with one.
(also hi, ran into you in fulda before getting blasted by an SLM that gave me a jump scare)

ASRAAM has range and speed over the 9x
ASRAAM also has LOAL which afaik only the 9x blk3 seems to get
Oh nice it’s Hellfires all over again
I’d like to do further research however before bringing hopes up and I’ll post it in the japan ground channel once I do

iirc the blk2 that’s on the SL-AMRAAM gets LOAL
Can the F2 ADTW at least get AIM7 P ? the random bug when the rocket loses a Lock in THE EMPTY AIR WITH NO CLUTTER is annoying
It doesn’t need it it’s pretty much OP at its own Br
F-2A ADTW is one of the best 13.0s in the game…
60-70G is more than enough to kill anything, not to mention what makes 9X quite good is LOAL and 360 Degree launch capabilities which other missiles also have.
Having 100G will not gonna change the outcome much more considering the only way to defeat these missiles is the Jam the WEZ.
Yeah It’s an amazing plane but the Aim7M feels pretty annoying often losing easy targets, maybe there’s an issue with radars or idk , it just easily loses targets that are in 5-6 km range
If you’re not using Aim-7P or R27ER then that’s a common issue.
Personally Aim-7P should’ve been added to ADTW as it’s more than capable to use them.
Japan did not have Aim-7Ps.
