I think 4 years for 9X-2 is pretty pessimistic.
We are already nearly 1 year into “ARH 1”, and I would say with things like the R-77-1 being added, we are pretty close to seeing “ARH 2”(120C-5s) within the next 2 patches.
After that it’s pretty much guaranteed to see the IIR Fox-2s prior to “ARH 3”(120D/Meteor/PL-15).
Gaijin said it themselves that Japan will get a new jet next update and I wonder what it could be after they have Benn releasing 4.5 gens the past few updates if not the F-2.
So please enlighten me
Could be multiple things like new Thailand jet/or another nation or older Japanese jets heck god forbid another “what-if” jet like F-16AJ…he’s just saying that after 2 years since they said we would have to wait “a few major updates” for F-2 he’s not holding his breath.
The Su27sm2 is a tech demonstrator and not a jet that was actually in service.
The Su27sm3 is basically what we already have ingame, with the only difference that it should have two extra wing pylons instead of the double pylons (at the end it will still carry the same amount of missiles). The Su27sm3 also didn’t get an upgraded radar over the N001VEP
Another Phantom variant or another F-104. they also only said Jet for Japan and not Japanese jet so it can be Thai
Oh yeah they totally gonna add another Thai copy paste jet instead of Japans domestic one
Lmao, you know we are talking about Gaijin right? I main Japan, I really really want the F-2A but knowing Gaijin, I won’t set my hopes up
Yes…yes they would because it would be the most low effort option
Yes well… you can blame the fact that the F-2 is completely overpowered… eventually it will find its way in game
I mean… it isnt hell it should have come with the other big jets like the typhoon and rafale
AIM-9L on AH-1Z worse Air-to-Air Missile
I suppose AIM-9X-2 instead AIM-9L
The american Surface-to-Air missile armed AIM-9X Blk 2
But gajin might ready AIM-9X Block 1, AIM-132 Blk 1 and R-74M for aircraft top tier (includes strike aircraft) sometime this year
It might be american 5th gen fighter aircraft with AIM-9X-2 and AIM-120D
AIM-120C-3, AIM-120C-5 and AIM-120C-5 for 5 fighter aircraft this quarter or next quarter
I suppose in 2030 might see AIM-120D-3, PL-15 and Meteor
They’ll wait for two things, 1. The IRCCM, which IIR and stuff are not in game, and are hard to implement
2. The 625E and IRIS-T to see how they work on SPAA first.
not now, current F-2, except AESA, I think no better than F-16C.
well it is going to have 2 extra missiles than the f-16C
surely OP after we got the f-18 or the su-30
4ARH+4IR vs 6ARH
well, well, well
Sorry couldn’t tell if this was a joke but actually seems like you mean it.
In which way is the F-2 more powerful than current top tier fighters in particular Typhoon and Rafale?
Its not better in anyway than Rafale, Su-30SM and more or less EF-2000 - how is it “OP” when modelled correctly and all public data?
It doesn’t even have a HMS, at all.
Even if the Devs were implementing J/APQ-1 Transmitter for AAM-4 (only used on J/APG-2 btw), it still has access to just four of them. Even though the F-15J(M) should also have the special transmittier.
i think that’s probably when the first F-16s was introduced to the game
then again they don’t even model AESA correctly even now. so i don’t know what is it that overpowered
When has something Japanese ever been Overpowered?
