Mitsubishi F-2

Japans domestic > Thai copy paste. in my own personal opinion

if gaijin finally implements the GCS-1 it wont “fix” japans cas issue per say however it will drastically help

If gaijin doesn’t give us F&F options then sadly I’ll take Thai Gripen.

Very understandable, rn im learning how to use the LJDAM’s and the new glide ones as an alternative, till they finally add the GCS-1 (if they ever do)

I’m also planning to do that, I unlocked my F-2 yesterday and grinded some modules but due to my exam process halted.

Once I get back home I will spade it and will try to do the same.

Not anymore, F-2A has glide GPS bombs as well, which low altitude GPS strikes is likely the next effective CAS tactic due to new SPAA.

IR AGMs are still semi-useful, but you put yourself into instant danger using them.

Glad to see you got the F-2A as well. I start my spading shortly.

I plan to use the GNSS for the Laser 62’s for a quick lock and fire, to reposition and reguide incase the spaa move

kinda similar to bomb tossing, I think this’ll be the best method to operate the LJDAM’s on the F-2A

That’s false go tò the F14 thread where they explained why the F14B didn’t get those.

We already got plenty examples, if F-14-15 or 16 didnt get it’s because gajin didn’t want to.

Simple is that.

Am i the only one who feels that the ingame skins are so desaturated compared to IRL ?

Change your game settings, GPU settings, and/or monitor settings.
The colors are correct.
Default War Thunder has always been less vibrant than it should be and has nothing to do with F-2A.

Ah, yes, I, have to change my settings because the devs don’t bother using [Saturation + ; luminosity -]

Even on your screens the colors are far from right

(The fake as hell F16 AJ have more accurate blue paint.)

As I said, the default vibrancy of the client is low and impacts all environments of the game.
I don’t use the settings in those two screenshots myself, cause my monitor itself is tuned for games to increase vibrancy a bit, which does not show up on screenshots.

The skins themselves outside of the client tend to be accurate, and you can hex identify them too if you load a texture into your favorite image editor.

Your monitor is likely color inaccurate. The monitor I use is even color inaccurate despite being rather good for its type.
My laptop’s monitor is horrifically color inaccurate.
If you want to see how accurate War Thunder really is with colors, you need a color accurate monitor as well.

Interestingly they got it right for the 6TFS 60th anniversary camo.

Would be nice to see all of them corrected to use these shades as well.

I think these show the internal inconsistencies quite well. The 3TFS camo is especially faded compared to the default, and the dark blue appearing greyish even when color corrected in post FX.

But for the time being, what settings do you use? That default camo actually looks really good this way.

now that you say it… even by default, the dark blue is just simply grey on the 3TFS skin…

I couldn’t tell you, I used different quick settings for both separately as a proof of concept cause I only have contrast active and haven’t meddled with PostFX since 2020.

A color accurate monitor that’s good for gaming is on a to buy list.
Either way it’s deep blues on my current monitor for the desktop, and on my laptop that’s horrifically color inaccurate the color is different.

Not even spaded the F-2 completely, but I can already say it’s a very potent plane even in air battles. You might find the number of ARH missiles as a big minus, but for me who used the same loadout on the F-15, it’s not an issue at all. You have to play a bit more tactically and can’t just spam missiles at everything you see, but it’s totally fine. The turn performance is really good too and the lack of HMD is not such an issue.

What I do have a bit of an issue with is that the radar seems bugged. Whenever I go from TWS to the visual range lock mode, it just randomly locks something instead.

I guess I avoid this bug by accident because I always manually turn the radar on and off before going into ACM mode. Generally I try to keep the radar off so as to be more stealthy.

Really good. It keeps up with the Top 2 (Rafale/EFT) and slightly edges out the Gripen, but that basically makes it so that you’re either on even footing or just better than everything in a dogfight. Honestly surprised this FM made it from dev to live with little changes considering many other planes have had far worse fates
