Reading through all those I just can’t understand why the Mirage 2000D-R1 is the same BR as the C-S4/5.
The 2000D-R1is heavier than the C-S4/5, lacks radar missiles, and has no internal gun which means you need the gunpod which makes the FM worse than it already is.
I also have a feeling it isn’t equal to a Mig-29 in performance. R27ERs are good, but the MiG only gets 2 of them compared to the Phantoms 4 Aim-120s. And in a dogfight the Phantom has vastly better missiles too.
If it goes down, 12.7s go down, and stuff is recompressed.
i wish japan gets some better CAS options other than unguided bombs and rockets and AGM-65Bs as much as i love the F-16AJ it has come to a point that its really cutting in on the ability to enjoy what japan can offer.
oh trust me i know, but i am also very aware that either this subtree will be the best thing to happen to the japanese tree as a whole, or it will do nothing to salve japans problem of the lack of precision CAS that isn’t TV based
i have been hoping and praying for the B.Kh20 (thailand designation for their gripen) because man it would help out japan heaps, but i dont think we will get it, for now, unless some new news comes out about what to expect from the royal thai air tree.
Absolutely, moving it down would undo the work the last decompression did. Hoping in the next Major patch we see more decompression and addition of vehicles with differing ground and air BRs. (A2D-1 down to 6.3-6.7 in ARB please?)
