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

I feel like the main issue would be the FM and Radar, since the AAM-3 is pretty close to the 9M, and the 16C also uses the 7M.
But the F-2 would beat the Viper out in range with the radar, and it can dogfight muchhh better.
Anyway, lets not dwell on the past, we can only pray for decompression to come and put the F-2A ADTW in a better spot.
That’s good, then worth the SP cost increase.
It’s nice to finally carry rockets with actual ground weapons for free. On the AJ you had to choose between rockets or Mavericks

I think it could’ve done well with Dance of Dragons. I remember the J-10 being a really good dogfighter on release and it could probably give most average F-2 pilots a run for their money with its IR missiles.
plus that update was really empty aside from the J-10 and JF-17

You WILL face Fox-3s, you WILL pay 80$ for a Premium, and you WILL be HAPPY.
