I think it won’t give any pluses in game and the only different will be the normal AAM-4 using
Don’t forget that mostly (I am 95% sure) it doesn’t have even HMD
Well they are a little bit similar but yeah in mave cased F-16C is better
J/APG-2 F-2 might be a bit more deadly if it got AAM-4B since it would have a more advance radar with a aesa seeker fox 3 but thats if gaijin would add that (which they wont anytime soon)
Yup that will be a handicap for this plane as well.
I am talking about radar differences, not the missile differences
I know the past couple sub-trees didn’t add anything for host nation but there was also nothing to add at the time. This time it’s different of course Gaijin could say Japan got enough and focus on other nations.
All that being said there is still a slim chance until dev server… as it’s really questionable that one of the earliest Gen 4.5 isn’t with the others and the only thing keeping it relevant is a first generation AESA radar…

Hopefully both huffs more copium
Too real lol
Would the f-2 fix Japanese CAS?
Depends on what it gets. But should have laser guided JDAMs at least.
If we get the variant with Sniper pod we can have L-JDAMs like on the recent Tornado. Basically GPS guided and laser guided and gen 3 thermal targeting pod
Should be fairly decent by top tier standards
No fire and forget munitions? Japanese CAS is really sad
Technically GPS guided is fire and forget with the option to correct it midflight
There is also ASMs but not sure if they can hit ground targets yet

GCS-1 if they EVER add that thing. But it can go on other jets too.
Based on?
Lack of information so far. All there is on HMD for F-2 is that it was considered for future upgrades iirc, while no HMD has been seen on any F-2 so far, including AAM-5 equipped aircraft.
There is still a chance there is some basis to at least a prototype HMD since it was considered (maybe this is something DMM could find), but it’s not used in service and it’s most likely it just doesn’t exist.
Show me that F-2 has it
I won’t ask you if I can find a picture in cockpit with the pilot
I know how to resolve this!
@yjie1028, you post a picture of an F-2 pilot WITH an HMD
@skultew1234, you post a picture of an F-2 pilot WITHOUT an HMD
Now...

In the next update we’ll have rafale. And it already has AESA radar! I can’t say it in other words. We’re fucked…
Yeah, F-2A will probably be DoA on release lol
