You may not be wrong. But I hope you are. Air has had plenty of love over the last two years.

yeah, but it would still mean fudging things to make a somewhat fake F-2, which alot of people dont really like to happen

Exactly like the Su-7, welcome to the club!

makes me wonder how they would do the F-2A Early, because it could carry stuff like JDAM and drop them, but didnt have any means to set target while in the air since lack of connection to GPS and had to have coordinates pre programmed while on the runway

like F-15C you make target point and drop

No, it seems that their barrel is going to be the 125 the 2A46, but they are not entirely sure which model is, not the 152.4 of the 292 second the proposal of this forum.

thats the thing, the F-2A Early could not do that with JDAM’s because to set a mark for JDAM’s the aircraft needs a proper connection to GPS, which the F-2A didnt have

Yeah exactly, just like the Brits kept targeting Tirpitz. Those ships were just too much of a threat.
(Though they looked very cool)

Huh I see. Then I dont know what advantage it would bring, perhaps a blowout panel? Though soviet MBT really only blow up if people take full ammo.

I’d agree if it was still just an on-paper plan or if F-2s hadn’t underwent any modifications in preparation.

But they were specifically prepared for the HMD, which was also designed and made specifically for the F-2, even if it isn’t operationally used now. Considering how essential HMD is, especially when trying to match the likes of Eurofighter and Rafale, I’d be more surprised if it lacks HMD.

It’s also not the only theoretical addition, considering the leaked F-2 has MRM rails on the inner stations, which is a theoretical loadout but not operationally used as well.

It’d probably not get JDAM, though I think there was also other similar cases in game where aircraft still got them. So I’d say if this is really the case we might still see JDAM on them, which could be useful at the ~13.0 BR of an early F-2

If it has something like an explosive panel, it seems to me that the crew location is a little further down, this other issue with the engine, but the sources different, but theoretically it could have the GTD-1500.

Hi. I gonna try sinking all of them with fritz X .
It’s gonna be fun to hunt these ne BB’s in naval EC.

Eh, unless F-14 and 15A get their actually tested HMD’s I don’t see why the F-2 should get one on a display stand

There have been so extremely little MBT additions last year that “cooling it with the MBT additions” would legit mean completely stopping any MBT additions lol.

Regarding the leaked IRIS-T SLM, the “pr” in brackets should refer to the abbreviation of passive radar

well the F-14 and F-15A at the current moment dont require it as few things at their BR’s have HMD and high performance missiles, but at 14.0 its something thats pretty much required

awwwww

Object 640 is gonna be wild. I’m afraid with my current pace of life, I’ll be pulling out the old wallet…
