True, but the devblog for AJ mentioned a similar story to Fox 3s in that it would appear when other nations get comparable aircraft.
It’s in the realm of plausibility and can be configured as Gaijin wants, as they have done other aircraft in the past yea. It just makes more sense to have XF-2A with APG-68 PD radar (same as F-16C radar currently in game with TWS and all) and just have it show up earlier then a proper F-2 early with AESA later.

I feel like we’ve been running through each jet gen far too fast and are now missing so many airframes.
Should have spent 1-2 years before moving on. Same thing for the ground but it is just not as bad.
We were barely in fourth gen before Gaijin started dipping its toes into 4.5th gen, while some nations were still at third gen.
yeah, we should have done. I still really want my late Jaguar or Buc. Those would be fun
Ground is much less prone to this because the jumps in technology just aren’t as big. A 2A7V would still be vulnerable to a SEP for example.

True though Japan has a record in the game for introducing new mechanics such as the first main cannon autoloader (Chi-ri), first recoilless and double barrle gun tank, first pneumatic suspension system tanks etc.
I would not be mad if the the F-2 is introduced solely first for AESA mechanics.

I’m still mad that they blitzed through 3rd gen so fast. Now its too late for a lot of those planes since they’ll be fighting all-aspect missile premium spam.

This is why I don’t get why so many people are asking for Fox-3s and F-15/Su-27.

Because the cat is already out of the bag. Fox 3s are basically required at this point for several nations to get anything even close to comparible.

For Fox-3s, it’s to allow some nations to catch up to the Big 2. For the F-15s and Su-27s, it’s greed, fanboying, not caring about balance, or a combination of these.

Agreed about that bit. F-15 and Su-27s are not required even slightly and whilst I’d love the Typhoon ASAP. Sea Harrier FA2 is where my money is at. Would be very far from OP, maybe not even on par with F-16Cs and Mig-29SMTs. But certainly a lot better than the F3

As a primarily ground player, it feels like they added post-war and then rushed to modern without letting any other part of the game catch up.
So I’m fighting WW2 in Leopard 2s, Abrams, Challenger and missile boxes.

Smins statement about not all nations getting ARH missiles at the same time has given me a modicum of hope that third gens and underperforming fourth gens (Tornado) will get them first.

The 50s are super compressed in both the ground and air trees.
