Mitsubishi F-2

Weve peaked again

We now have a better low speed turn rate (marginally) than the Eurofighter

why are you using light mode?

get flash banged

Can you show b4 and after pic for the turn rate graph?

Low key light mode better for everything. I switched discord, insta, x and everything to light mode now

please

no it isnt

it literally destroys your eyes, esepecially in a dark enviorment

This was F-2 vs Typhoon before (ignore rafale its the old rafale fm)

Spoiler

and this is now

The peak sustained turn rate is the same but low speed will be improved, going from very good to downright excellent

Nice, thanks mate.

you switched to dark mode ^^

thank you

I wonder what causes the little bump up in sustained at around 400 kph

Theres a sharp reduction in drag around that speed before gradually rising again

The F-2s top speed at sea level with the new thrust curve is mach 1.08 instead of mach 1.11 like before

Well, the Japanese have been saying that for ages. Just keep your eyes peeled for the odd off-boresight.

So slower but more energy retention i guess?

Retention feels the same until you get down to about 600-500kph, it holds 9Gs there for quite some time. It feels the same as before but even better. The slower top speed wont change how it plays and its still faster than the Hornet.

Seems like great news. At least reading the graphs, the F-2 would only lose in a vertical with the EFT at lower speeds which makes sense as it lacks the thrust to keep up.

Unrelated but I do want to give credit where credit is due. Gaijin actually did model MLC to a certain degree in the sense that the flaperons actually produce lift. I had a situation where my left flaperon was shot off and when pulling I also rolled towards the left since the right flaperon was producing lift. I just assumed Gaijin would just model the flaperons just visually and let the code behind the scenes model the extra lift and attribute it to the elevators.

All in all, I’m pretty happy with the F-2 and really am not worried about the future, even with the 5th Gens comings soon TM. The only thing that could be improved is probably the high speed compression but it’s not a deal breaker or huge issue if I’m paying attention.

Now imagine the Super Kai would’ve existed at some point and we could get it… AAAAAAAAAAAH…

As long as those ugly CFTs are optional…
