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

F-4S and J do, and they only see those in a downtier, and I’m sure a couple other

Uh…good luck with that. With how tedious the naval grind is, I can only anticipate the most skilled and dedicated players getting them on the end of the patch week. Not to mention there are at least six ships to grind.
I felt that naval RP requirements would need a drop. Tier 6 ships would be reasonable between 280k and 300k after tier 7 is confirmed by the vanguard, ships below are fine.

Well, every single active service F-2 was also modified in preparation of mounting this HMD, meaning any active service F-2 is already compatible with it without needing further modification. That’s probably a point just as important as the HMD actually existing for the chance of it being added.

Though I’m personally also not against tested HMD on F-14/15, I’d even say those could be interesting features to set especially the US F-15A apart from other early F-15s in game. Someone should make a suggestion/report (not sure) if there isn’t already one

did someone say Ju 288C with FritzX? :))

i said few, not none. And the only other things there with an HMD is the A-10C and Thai F-5 SCU but those dont have a large enough impact nor have high performance missiles (A-10C does but the 9M’s are screwed by a horrendous launch speed because the A-10 is abhorrently slow)

It’s like asking why can the F-15J(M) use AIM-120s. It has provisions for it so it can use it in WT. IRL they probably don’t use it because they’d rather use their domestic munitions as they can produce it as opposed to buying AIM-120s

Aside from that, from a gameplay perspective having a HMD at top tier is kind of a must and any small evidence is enough justification. Heck you have the Thai F-16A OCU with an HMD it shouldn’t have but was given a fake one because top tier

If we get an HMD for the F-2, I’d love to see the plug and play HMD system developed and tested on the Ja-37D!

I mean, if F-2 is going to be 14.0 where HMD is most important it will have J/APG-2 which should be the best radar in-game unless they add AN/APG-63v3 F-15.

As well as the 6+2 datamined loadout I don’t really think HMD will be as critical for it

6+4 from the looks of it but I don’t see why you’d be opposed it having an HMD. Do you want an F-22 without HMD too?

Why did they recently buy 1,200 of them then (kinda funny, 1200 AIM-120)

Was it not for the F-35 or something? Since AAM-4 too big

I meant specifically for Russia. That being said I wouldnt mind seeing more support vehicles.

Actually, yes, I do.

They can save HMD for a later F-22 variant

It 's not as big of a gamechanger as some other things, but the leaked swiss Hunter (early) has had it 's textures in the files for a while.

The leak today seems more like a nudge that it 's now planned for implementation at a specific time, rather than just being around to add at an unknown point.
Maybe some of the other swiss aircraft which have been leaked from this source might come w/ it.

1.) it would force them to correctly model more ACM/ radar modes: so yes

2.) it would allow for an “early” sooner and a “late”: so yes

they bought those AIm-120’s for their F-35’s, as the version of F-35 they produced had too small of a bay for safe launched of AAM-4.

Yeah your probably right
