Will all depend on how they model it but a better F-16 in the sense that it has similar rating capabilities but with higher AoA and positive G capabilities mean it might also be competitive in a 1 circle scenario too. Since, the F-2 will never be better than F-15J(M) in BVR, it will all comes down to WVR scenarios.

No HMD would hurt WVR fights to get off boresight AAM-3/4 shots, though vertical ACM can kind of mitigate that.

I would doubt they are as good as the eurocanards, but with a decent missile loadout and a good radar, they should at least be able to defeat gripens in BVR. Su-30s are still much of a guess of how good they will be, mostly in regards to if the R-77-1 - similar to basic AMRAAM - and the question of would it be present.

The only chance an F-2 would have is WVR in a 1 circle scenario or low speed fights, but those are rare in air RB. Ground RB is another story though and mostly what the I’m looking forward to the F-2 with (as a CAP monster).

That is a good point, but are you sure about the ASM-2s, given how terrible the penguin turned out to be? Well, it is decades ahead so it should perform better, but long range IR guided AGMs such as KD-88 was bugreported for 2 years and awaiting response, wont be too optimistic on that.

Honestly I’d be more interested in the L-JDAMs, but I play aircraft in GRB mostly to kill other aircraft as you tend to get more 1 vs 1 dogfights there and there’s no markers.

Good point. I am also looking forward to the F-2 but I wouldnt be surprised if Japan didnt get it, the nagato, or anything Japanese specifically next update. Last year it was a copyfest and Id imagine this year its the Thai ground subtree.

I’m sure the Thai ground tree is coming but I also feel like that might be the summer update since we JUST got the Thai air tree.

Also I guess another use for ASM-2s would be to use it against helicopters, but now that they fixed bombs, can just use them still.

That is possible. Id also imagine Pakistan coming after that, air stuff first.

Not always as Hungarian ground came first and so did SA, Iirc Finland came together with both being added

I don’t know what you mean by early WW2 era, as most of ships you mentioned comissioned at early stage of WW2. If you’re saying about battleships that were already in service at 1939, there are not much left, especially the nations I mentioned.

I want them to extend naval maps and bring naval
into the missile age. That would be super fun especially for naval EC

Reading this gave me a stroke

Hello

It doesn’t appear this report was accepted yet. It now has been.

Unless you see this tag on a report:

It means it has not been forwarded.

Hello

You have not been ignored. I have answered you personally on this previously both via PM and in topics also. Currently there is no update to provide on this report, when there is, the report itself will generally be updated with any developer comments or outcomes. Until that time, there is unfortunately no further details I can provide.

Since F-2A has an AESA and energy retention of an F-16C, its probly going to be more enjoyable than F-15J(M) in BVR (at least in Simulator). The capability jump is likely, besides missile count, as big as Mirage 2000-5F to Rafale C F.3R.
The AESA Radar is smth that I honestly would take over the additional ARH missiles, it makes a lot of fun to use it on Rafale, I can imagine well how it will be on the F-2A.

As we have already mentioned a few times before, yes, there are plans to further expand the Hungarian aviation tree. However when that will be and what will come are all things that would be announced via blogs or update news whenever that time comes.

Sorry, but it’s just been over a year now and you know me wanting pure sub line ups lol

Poor Smin sometimes I see him answer the same question 7 times a day.
