L-JDAMs are a bit limited, yea but they are still fire and “forget” thanks to GPS. However, in this new environment, all CAS will struggle, not just F-2.
But my original point is, it’s a dogfighting plane. Not sure what else people expected out of it
F-2 is much more limited compared to all other top tier CAS planes. No mavericks, hammers, brimstones, just JDAMS. RWR is also a big question. I don’t expect great survivability then. Dogfighting is good, but pretty useless in the game
Don’t you think that your main problem now is not the quantity of missiles but their quality?
Let me remind you that the AAM-4 are not tuned at all and fly slightly better than the R-77, having extremely poor energy characteristics.
It’s pretty useful for CAP which is also a vital role in ground RB. It will also be useful in air RB in those rare long games.
This is true, but it’s at least serviceable. Maybe one day ASMs also help, but for now, a TGP with L-JDAMs is usable.
I really hope it’s not the same as the F-15J(M) that it currently has on the dev server. Was hoping it would be more modern, covering the K band
If you said this 1y ago might be true, but after Thai tree added why I don’t just play the JAS 39? Can CAS, can dogfight, got aim120, got more flare and chaff…
Actually insane ACM performance, easily the best ACM in the game by a considerable margin.
But others can just using HMD…
NGL HMD locks can be tricky, there’s a lot of instances of them not locking untill well under their maximum range, or if a target is manuevering, this simply locks stuff in front of you with no hesitation or error. NGL I almost prefer this.
Then you have the rafale on a whole different level, imagine the same ACM but in the full radar FOV coverage
1.no hmd
2.unfinished asm-2
3.only 60 counter measures
4.not the load out we hoped for(4+6)
What’s next ? How much can we fix🫠
Remember what they saying when they decided to added F-16AJ instead of F-2, is this the so call “too powerful” gaijin said?
This is really huge for getting those quick snap shots with AAM-4, and also vertical ACM not being tricky when dogfighting
i mean atleast this is something and great for me since im rather bad at using hmd anyways
Honestly so far the plane has been flying and performing really well on the dev server. Going to be a monster in ground RB against pretty much any plane. Need to see where the FM is and gets finalized versus stuff like the Rafale and EFT in low speed fights (it feels like it easily beats the AJ and Gripen tier already)
Ill be honest i almost never use hmd on f-15j for AAM-4s only for AAM-3 one wll i suck at top tier two because it can be confusing to me sometimes i love ACM so this looks VERY nice to me
I can tell you that right now the Rafale/EF-2000 wins
I just hope they fix those ASM-2 and allow for ground use
Honestly at the 13.7 BR I’m not sure it needs HMD, which is good because even with the prototype found there is not enough information to report it.
I hope we could see the Shimadzu HMD on a future late ADTW aircraft alongside other prototyped upgrades like the F-X radar, but I don’t think we’ll see it now.
Well yeah thats pretty obvious theres not gonna be many planes that can beat them
kinda wish we got AAM4Bs but i can understand why we dont have them although they did just add Aim-120C-5s
