now this is what i don’t like though, gaijin have pretty weird on standard.
one time they said “if it’s capable we can add it”(paraphrasing) on the other hand it is known to be capable but not adding to it. well this is a literal case of it definitely can and the proof literally on side pylon.
so yeah it’s just gaijin BS
Technically, with most of the pictures I’ve seen about here, is that there’s the connection points for the ASM electronics, but because of where the inner-most pylon is, it’s not clear if it’s marked for the missile electronic bus as well as the ASM

They are not unfounded. There is a prover technical compatibility with the stations 5/7. They are also mentioned in many secondary sources, unlike the MRMs on the same stations.
I’ll try to properly report the MRMs too, since in theory they seem to be compatible too, but the ASM has more proof, which is likely why Gaijin added it on their own already.
Using this logic has never brought anything but bad things. Gaijin would rather remove ASM if we argue like this. Instead I’m collecting all sources I can find for the MRMs and seeing if that individually is enough to be added.
I think it’s better that they aren’t identical, since that proves the MRM markings and connectors aren’t simply a result of shared parts. Since it’s a different variant but still has them that is the strongest argument we have here.
Also considering even F-15E getting 120C-5 (not like it was already one of the strongest aircrafts in BVR) I don’t see the reason why F-2 and F-15J shouldn’t get AAM-4B as well, we even got semi-correct radar for F-2
Semi-correct ?
Minor nations are not allowed to be good, that would obviously completely break the balance
How？
Im obviously not trying to call you out publicly but instead stating facts. Keep your oppinion for Moderators for yourself, thanks :-)
[DEV] F-2A missing HMD // Gaijin.net // Issues
Well, for now I will believe it is just not finished.
Well, we know the pylon is compatible for a fact, since it does have all necessary connectors, despite being a different variant than the usual ASM/MRM stations which means it isn’t simply shared parts. And since the aircraft in addition to that has markings for them, that wouldn’t be necessary if it was just the pylon but not integrated with the plane, it’s likely a possible loadout.
CRL wet pylons on other aircraft like the Harrier II are also known to integrate guided armament, so the F-2 wouldn’t be unusual in that regard either.
Specifically the ASMs are also called out in secondary sources as technically possible loadout.
Also, regarding the F-2 radar, in game it seems to be working in the I band. Shouldn’t it be X band like most if not all AESA radars? Sorry if wrong
To be fair, all things about F-2 was expected, for God only knows what reason Gaijin sometimes just does that. Japan never got GCS-1 bombs because there are no 100% concrete proof with 500 pages of technical manuals behind it that system, can track tanks. ASM-2 even if it gets IR guidance wouldn’t be able to track tanks as well most likely while Penguin with older seeker head can do the same without an issue even tho there no evidence it ever could (I’m not saying Penguin shouldn’t be able to track tanks, even if it never could, we play a game after all and small things like that should be allowed). Same gos for HMD, we got more or less latest version of F-2 post both AAM-4B and AAM-5 refurbishments with AAM-5 developed specifically to be operated with HMD. F-15Js actively use JHMCS, F-2 Super Kai was planned to use it and I don’t think it is this much of a jump to give it to F-2, we have a full-blown F-16AJ in tech tree and nobody has issues with that. J/ASQ-2 IEWS missing all together (not surprised after J/APQ-1 wasn’t moddeled on F-15J) probably becasue we don’t have full manual for it (and it probably classified). While Rafae and EF2000 got theirs IEWS based on some brouchure probably. Now Russia got R-77-1 all info on which is pulled from wikipedia, everybody would get AIM-120C-5 while Japan would stuck with unfinished AAM-4 because already staded reasons

What do you think about F-2 Early? Basically copy-paste premium plane, but in tech tree. Folded with F-16AJ, so you don’t need it to get the Late version
Id love to see it but also what about the F-2B?
Later as event plane? At the moment we have only semi-train F-16D, so it’s up to Gaijin. But F-2A Early would be awesome
Probably because X-band is old nomenclature and the new nomenclature for that frequency band is the I band. Every other AESA in game is I band as well as of the current moment.
