Mitsubishi F-2

Wouldn’t be the first paper aircraft, especially not for Japan…

Do they not teach “don’t sit too close to the TV and make sure the room is well lit” anymore?

as if ppl would care, even if they did

also in quite alot of games it is written in the disclaimer that is shown during the start up of the game

I still see the “flashing lights may cause seizures” from time to time (thankyou for that Pokemon) but I haven’t seen the distance and light level warnings for ages (aside from some old DVDs).

i think those disclaimers are mainly in big AAA games
so ppl probably see them less becasue the recent AAA games werent that great

Yeah, I just assumed that I was seeing it less because of the target age group of the media I see… anyway, we should probably stop derailing the topic before we get mod bonked. I just got baited because you comment made me realize I haven’t seen that stuff in ages.

Why can’t the aesa on the f-2 guide multiple sparrows at once? Other esa radars like (no35) (irl) can guide 2 Sarh missiles like r27r/er at once.

It depends by both radar construction and missile guidance construction.

We don’t have any source/hint that F-2 can guide 2 FOX-1

It is feature of R-27 guidance logic. In theory even no ESA radar can guide 2 R-27 at the time

Would this increase top speed on sea level as well?

In theory it shouldn’t. However, depending on their implementation it may also increase top speed at SL.

Hey do you wanna make a report on the F-2’s high speed compression? I’ve been meaning to but I won’t be able to for a bit still.

Basically the MLC implementation doesn’t use mach scheduling like it does IRL, which is why the F-2 feels so sluggish at high speeds. As you’re at higher speeds your plane pulls less AoA, leading to decreased flaperon deployment. Which since the flaperons on the F-2 generate a positive pitch rotation, means that the plane is actually a bit dependent on AoA to actually turn.

Also have some secondary sources on hand confirming that they were made to behave comparably at all speeds, so there really shouldn’t be any reason for such compression.

If you want to I can pass you the relevant sources for it, I’d make a report on it but I’m unable to at the moment.

Also it’s very funny you say that, because on the dev server they initially had the response for the visual model of the flaps bound backwards to their actual deflection.

Yes i agree they modeled the F-2 pretty well surprisingly. The issue is they added it way to late tho still a fun aircraft at its respective BR

As for the AAM-5, since aircraft carrying live rounds have been confirmed, the technical validation may have been completed. From April next year onward, some people will likely obtain documents on this.

Oh wait, is it first images of serial F-2 with AAM-5?
Previously there were only in ADTW squadron

Well the F-14 had it back in 2022 so it should be possible now. They did break it on the F-14s with the automatic radar stuff though…

Live rounds, yes. Inert Captive rounds were confirmed in late July.

Very cool!

It was one of the F-2 problem that even now it used only AAM-3 in fighting squadrons but now this one is fixed

The issue was mounting the AAM-5 on the wingtip, so not sure about that yet, but it’s good news that confirms it can be mounted on other stations.
