It also seems to have blindspots above and below the helicopter, irrespective of the helicopter in question. Similar situation with RWR blindspots. It’s strange that F-15 for example is blind to radar waves above and below it like other aircraft when the antenna is right there on the vertical stabilizer and wing tips.
I would think it would be enough to give some warning with ARHs to go defensive but depending on the range, if it’s already at max speed, it might be too fast yea.
With how they’ve modeled MAWS though, it seems to go off from very far away and know everything exactly which might need to be modeled better later. For example, the DIRCM feature is also currently overperforming in that it is always on, even if you haven’t launched your missile yet when it’s supposed to blind the missile approaching the aircraft (not before launch).
No trust me comrade it’s working as intended. No bias, it works just like in reality. All footage from Ukraine with Ka-52 dying to an old stingers are fakes made in hollywood.
Maybe if F-2 was in correct nation we could already have seen it implemented.
That why Germany probably will get F-4F ICE in the next patch and Japan will get F-15J MSIP (current version can’t use AIM-120). Thing is, F-15J MSIP isn’t really better than F-2. The only advantages of the F-15J MSIP are rear aspect MAW and more flares. Missiles? Same amount and types on both planes. Radar? F-2’s is better. Ground capabilities? F-2 is better again. And it has HMD as well! There is no need for Gaijin to add F-2 before F-15J MSIP. So, I guess, we won’t see F-2 in the next patch, but maybe after it.
I don’t think the F-2 had any HMD, but loadout is most likely not relevant since they are using it as BR balances.
Like the current F-15J could technically carry GBU since they said it practically impossible to remove it(at least since i read last time).
I’m more interested in the internal IRST that some MSIP had.
When the F-2A got it’s new AMC, it was provisioned to use an HMD along with AAM-5s and ASM-3 functionality. F-2s likely got HMD functionality when AAM-5s were integrated on the airframe which is exactly what happened with the F-15J getting it when it integrated AAM-5.
It’s specifically the F-2 and covers basically all the upgrades from the base version. A lot of stuff like JDCS(F), JDAMs, ASM-3 and it’s HARM sub function, and A2A capability upgrades were dependent on a more powerful Advanced Mission Computer, so the doc just talks about everything that came with the new AMC
Iirc early F-2’s did have J/APG-1 but lacked J/ARG-1 which are needed to use AAM4. If they want to add the F-2 in its most early state it wouldn’t have AAM4. So a early F-2 would be more like a better F16AJ and still lack ARH capability. Could pair well with a better F15J, ones better at CAS the other is “better” at AA.
I mean its not a good comparison but they have added “filler” planes with few differences like F16A and ADF. It is an option if gaijian want to push back the ARH update
New F-15J MSIP also won’t have AAM-4, only AIM-120. AAM-4 is too good for the game now. I guess, we’ll see 2 versions of the F-2. One “early” with AAM-3/AIM-120 and one “late” with HMD and AAM-4/B/5 (anyway, HMD is not that good without thrust-vectoring missiles, so lack of it on the “early” version is not smth really bad). And both versions will be at higher BR than F-15J MSIP. But maybe Gaijin will give newer missiles to old planes and then my prediction is wrong.
