Please be reminded that the thread is about the F-2. Please use the other threads available for discussing Japanese vehicles, let’s not create off-topic here. Thank you :)

This is not true, the F-15J irl lacked a bombing computer irl. In game it shoukdnt have air to ground CCIP.

15MJ can operate the GCS-1
So they’d use these without bombing computer?
Every aircraft that can mount Mk.82 or JM117 type bombs can, the system is fully self contained. This doesn’t mean it has a bombing computer.
Besides that, GCS from what I’ve seen were also never mounted on the F-15J, only technically compatible. The F-15J is an interceptor mainly, so this capability will likely never be used.

especially since we have planes with weapons it never even used (like the german mig21 getting a missile they never used, su30/34 with kh38mt aka the missile thats made up. the list just goes on)

Nevermind i sent the wrong document, everyone ignore what it had, gimme a minute to find the right one. I accidentally sent the 1968 one not the 1978 one that actually talks about it.
I hope it’s another vehicle because I want an F-2 at a lower BR.
They’re talking about the Type 81C, not the F-2
Are the chances of it releasing with the AAM-5 zero?
Little to zero changes

Oh. Yeah then it should be added to the current one.
I like having it be separate instead, since it’s not just the ARH missile but also multi-vehicle mechanics.
This way the current Type 81 (C) can also stay at a lower BR (and hopefully move down again too), while the version with full radar search and datalink is at a higher BR.
I just hope you get both missile types on the multi-vehicle one, but if not I have a report preared already anyways.

They should add the ARH to the existing Type 81 and make an early version either on the earlier version based on an early Type 73 truck. That or add a Type 81(B) since the Light wave sight has none of the functions it does IRL and isn’t necessary for the IR missile.
As it stands though the best SAM for Japan will be locked behind a premium which should be unacceptable for how much utility SAMs provide. Imagine the riots if the 2A7 was a premium and Germany was stuck with the 2A6 as their best MBT in the TT
