Yeah, I get that. Personally I think a trailer feature goes a long way, as do unique and new mechanics.
For example F-2 could’ve brought the first AESA, with the J/APG-1 generally not being as impressive as later ones and the F-2 initially only carrying SARH missiles making it still balanced.
But since they missed that opportunity we just have to hope for something else, maybe the J/ARG-1 datalink or the ME/DY modes for flight control (and hope they’re not further overshadowed by TVC and Maneuver mode).
I don’t think some nations should just stop receiving stuff until others can catch up but I think it would be better if they instead got some gap fillers or similar stuff that doesn’t push the boundaries whilst other nations catch up to them.
Like for the US instead of getting something more advanced they could get something like the A-4M, F-14D, F-16D, F-15D, F/A-18B/D. These would still be higher-top tier but wouldn’t be pushing the boundaries further than it already is whilst giving other nations a chance to get to the same point. (There’s more that could come obviously but just those as examples)
Like I’ve said it doesn’t help he’s hasn’t played Japan at all even that one tech is from the BP.
Ngl why should we listen to a person who have yet to play that nation. I’m currently researching the Japanese F-15 while he’s haven’t even got the F1M2.
he was demanding that if the EFTs got SPEAR 3 so we had a GPS glide bomb the US MUST get GBU-53 so we ask for a counter part to SDB-1 and his response is America need even more advanced bombs just because we want a capability most US planes get
That would be the f2 early and i think we might have a chance to get it
It would be 13.0 with aam 3 and aim 7
Same kit as the f15j but on a lighter airframe
you say that, but that isnt true at all, the GBU39 has an operational range of 140km which funny enough is the operational range of SPEAR 3 literally all this means is SPEAR 3 will arrive slightly faster “ohhhh noooo its the end of the world for the US”
not to mention the GBU53 can be IR so it would be far more OP then the SPEAR 3
