You know, there is something i wonder about the AAM-5’s integration on the F-2. The 3D RWR that was tested was supposed to use the AAM-5, and supposedly worked, but it was from before AAM-5s began testing on the TRDI F-2s.

Yeaa, maybe there were more tests we haven’t discovered yet, who knows.

The reason why its so easy to do so in GRB is thanks to the fact that Heli’s have a silly high controllability which lends alot to aiming stuff like AAM’s, plus 3rd person makes it so much easier to detect and track someones flight so you can easily predict their flight path and set up a missile launch. Thats extremely difficult to do even with any of the radar carrying Harriers in Sim because detecting enemy aircraft is incredibly difficult by design, and its much harder to predict the enemies flight path which means its even harder to set up a missile launch
Almost every top tier vehicle does not have enough data out there to make a realistic copy, they all rely mostly on assumption, vague claims and Gaijin’s random decisions.
there is still a good bit of difference between those. a whole vehicle and a single missle has massive difference. Many of the vehicle are based on existing stuff and can be interpreted as well.
That cant be done with those, its realy mostly interily in the hands of gajin and would perform badly as a result
Idk what you mean because harriers sit there bullying noobs all day in sim by just VTOLing in place and firing fox 2s at people who make passes on them. Now imagine that with a target that still wont appear on radar, so your SARH/ARH are useless and also usually has some form of overperforming IRCM that makes IR missiles useless. It’s just not going to work without a complete rework of what sim currently is as a game mode.
Literally how do you know that?..
In all of my time playing Sim Air, i have seen zero harriers doing that. They are always fighting other strike aircraft and fighters for bases and ground targets, or trying to dogfight other jets without using VTOL
because i am sadly way to deep into war thunder
somehow got to be a mod in the german vehicle discord that handles every german resource and read trough them all and am aware of the things.
Gajins does follow a lose set of rules when implementing and this completly falls out of the matrix
You don’t play enough sim then. At least not in the 9.7 bracket or the 13.0 bracket. in 9.7 its especially bad because half of your opponents dont even have flares.
i have played throughout those brackets, and iv seen enough AV-8C’s get supplexed by F-100D’s and F’s and watched AV-8B+'s climbing towards stuff at altitude like F-15’s and F-16’s and firing AMRAAM’s well outside their firing range, and i know those are never sitting in place with VTOL because iv been the one to smack them out of the air with the F-16AJ
They’re going to have to. The game will be unplayable without them when missiles like the IRIS-T get added onto aircraft.
This “lose set of rules” have been broken tons of times ever since classified vehicles and weapons started getting added, especially things where literally no sources exist, like top tier chinese stuff. We got to a point where if a weapon or a vehicle was built, it could be added, all the specs can just be made up by Gaijin if necessary. Everything from composite and era effectiveness, round penetration (even ww2 stuff lol) and missile performance details are all made up (because they are all classified), and the worst example is the recent kh-38mt, nothing about it is based on any brochure or any secondary source whatsoever.
sure if you think so, still wont happen. And KH38MT literaly is a thing because nobody questioned it at implementation.
The vehicle and missle still likely wont happen and i hope they wont, because at the end of the day those would still be largely bad addition if compared to anything else they would add now

how many years left before flare button randomly stops working (flares wont come out even you turn on periodic flares too) bug gets fixed?
If anything I expect it to be inaccurate in either direction. It will have things it’s not supposed to have and perform maybe better or worse than evidence suggests.
At the end of the day this is Gaijin’s game and they can do whatever they want and aren’t beholden to the reality.
Gameplay > Real life
All the game has to do is create and hold the suspension of disbelief that this could be reality to help you immerse yourself because if you stop to think, you’ll find plenty of game mechanics that are just completely unrealistic and vehicles are no exception
At least research it before you say some silly stuff like that. It gets significantly better survivability and also gets what will be the best radar in the Japanese tech tree.
Also there was a huge AIM-120C-8 and AIM-120D-3 sale approved for Japan a couple months back

Xeno knows very well what he’s talking about, as he is also a valuable and respected member of our Research Group.
Also;
- Thats an XF-2A
- The missile is an AAM-3 (IR missile)
