until you face an IRIS-T SLM and they all get shot down…
If everything wasn’t bugged, it wouldn’t be War Thunder.
Not everything, out of all the new SPAAs, only the IRIS-T SLM came out without any major bugs or inaccuracies.
Truly, Germany Suffers.
I wish we had a model with the only difference being no AAM-4s. Playing top tier air is horrible and even if you just want a CAS plane for GRB, it’s still right at the top.
Please tell me this is sacrasm…
Same. The F-2A ADTW is pretty nifty and definitely one of the best 13.0, but it’s lack of LJDAM makes it kinda meh at CAS, and the only radar missiles being 7Ms isn’t pleasant either.
I don’t struggle with the F-2 at all and often find myself among the top of the match, so idk.
Well I did say “major”. It works, it shoots down planes, bombs and missiles with ease. Compare it to SPYDER, CS/SA5 or Tan-SAM kai.
I’m okay with 7Ms, the price and no LJDAMs ruins it for me. And since it’s 13.0 it could/should have been added alongside F-16C or shortly after.
it does not
It really doesn’t rn.
It still has major bugs and essential features missing to get it work properly.
I’ve surprisingly never had issues with the ACM mode, but I’ve had practice I guess from the AJ. Surprised to see so many people having issues.
Yea it’s nice. I tend to use GPS on them to take out SPAAs before focusing on ground targets to lase.
I usually scout them with the sniper pod and then I go in for a long range rocket barrage that floods their radar but also takes them out from range
Go tell this to the guys who play Israel and got the SPYDER that barely shoots down a strike drone.
I gotta try this xd
Worst case you miss, but you have enough range to us CMs, escape, re-arm, and do it again lol
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh. Premiums are getting wayyy too pricey for most people-
I feel like if it were it’d be severely nerfed- The FM is better, it gets two more missiles, and a MUCH better radar than the 16C.
I think it would’ve been fairly balanced in Air Superiority, since the F-15 is faster, the Su-27 carries more missiles, and the Grippy has HMS. It probably would’ve done well around there.
But at 13.0 that’s the same BR the F-16C was added. Even a step above, it could have been added much sooner. Plus it’s never beyond gaijin to artificially limit certain missiles temporarily.
That’s what I was planning to do, with that new GNSS feature where you can put a marker on the map I feel like SEAD wouldn’t be too hard.
Sure, it’d be easier with a Kh-38, but I’ll take what I can get lmao. Plus hitting someone with a bomb is so much more satisfying.

I’ll report back shortly >:D
Yea, their greatest mistake I think is not releasing the F-2 early during Air Superiority. It has the same loadout as the F-15J and it would have time to shine as the best dogfighter, period.
Then they could have added the current F-2 with Seek and Destroy or at the lastest, Storm Warning.
I’ve actually been wondering if FFAR’s get picked up by radar vs Zunis
