God bless props for still being mostly unharmed. Researching the F-16 OCU, <1000RP at a time.

I’ve heard enough
Move all the Zeros up 2 BR brackets.

I kinda expected gaijin to play on real life and add J-10B alongside F-2A. Would have made for a cool trailer at least.
Last month’s player statistics for 5.0 put the A6M3 Model 22 Ko and A6M5 Hei as the top dogs of their BR lol. A6M3 is also top on kills per spawn, per death, and winrate at 4.0. A6M3 Model 22 only barely loses to J21A-2 in KpS but wins in KpD and winrate.
Yeah I won’t be surprised if they move up in the near future.
HAhahahahahaa.
Truly, Japan keeps winning.

Ground RB needs BR decompression MUCH more than air tho.

I hope for GCS-1 will come soon
Most funny it also wasn’t used on F-15 while was technically possible

I’m not sure it will do much to us since it is also only capable of locking onto ships.
Does this mean the F-2 radar is fixed and the ACM is finally usable?
yes, yes it did
now fix Tan-SAM and I’m a happy boy

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.
To add to that, for anyone wondering how ADTW plays as of now, I have compiled a bit of stats over the last week or so on how 13.0 has it.
So if one is considering getting ADTW, make of that what you will.

What book is that from?
can someone explain to me why does the F-2 have such an abysmal engine performance?
It literally guzzles fuel but gives underperformance in return, even the top speed is dogshit, comparing it to F-16A is feeling like a side-grade
and I understand that it’s heavier by about two n a half tons but damn I didn’t expect it to be that sad
I am grateful for that Thai gripen, you can at least carry a game in that, in F-2 you are out of fuel and out of fucking countermeasures in like 3 seconds
it dosent
top speed is worse than the F-16 because it has a higher wing span and more drag in level flight
while being able to keep up/ being better than the F-16A in a dogfight

This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
it was to demonstrate how the “sad” plane that is 2.5 tons heavier than the F-16A and cant keep up with it
it is because drag dosent increase linearly especially at super sonic speeds
it increases exponentially to the speed
at supersonic speeds the air density also increases, further increasing drag
“doesn’t increase linearly” I get that but it’s still sad
and you didn’t even say anything to the fuel efficiency, that’s my main pet peeve
and sure you will win 1v1s but how often does such an situation occur in top tier tell me hmm?
my man you can take ~100mins with the drop tanks
and you have the same engine as in the F-16C
you cant produce 11 tons of thrust without burning alot of fuel
if you think the fuel consumption on the F-2 is bad i wouldnt recoment you playing the F-14A
or the Mig-29
F-2 max AB time: ~15min
Mig-29 max AB time: ~6.5min
F-14 max AB time: ~9min

scrap this, I realized you can just take minimum fuel
then just learn how to manage your afterburner usage
unlike to popular belive you dont need to permanently afterburn at full throttle
and in ARB, atleast in my experience; it is not the smartest idea to be the first in the middle of the map anyways
“you can’t produce 11 tons of thrust without burning a lot of fuel”
and yeah this is the 90s we are talking about, okay fair enough
I just don’t like the trade-offs, sure you get a good dogfighter but that’s about it
is the F-2 we received the last one btw?
