Mind if I ask why we’re seeing PL-12A and AIM-120D but not AAM-4B? Is it because there wasn’t enough community requests regarding the missile?

Ah yes love maps how you can get immediately spawn killed in like the first 2 mins
Resolving the bug reports for base AAM-4 would already be enough tbh.
as with MICA EM…

Pobably something like
“Japan has an Su-30 with R-77-1 so they dont need any other buffs at this time”
Why not both? Why not try and get the F-2A to be put in a position or battle-rating where it could also receive AAM-5s?
Probably would be awkward in its current battle rating to ever get AAM-5
That reminds me, where does the Su-30MKM sit, does it sit below the F-2A?
It would most likely raise the BR of the F-2A too high, most of us would prefer to keep it at 13.7, while AAM-3 and AAM-4 corrections would def make it more potent already, but not too strong.
Su-30 is 14.3 in line 5
F-2A is 13.7 in Line 2

But that perspective is a bit weird to me because I would suspect that someone who really likes the F-2A would want to see it fully fledged out one day, with AAM-4B and AAM-5s.
Will the PL-12A only be for the J-10C or will something else get it?
Lowkey atp with the top tier matchmaker, id honestly rather it be a mid 14.0 then a mid 13.7.
PL-12A and AIM-120D are coming for aircraft on the very top BRs. The F-2A is currently 13.7. So any new weaponry added there is a consideration if it will disrupt its balance or not.

@Smin1080p_WT Hello. Can we expect any information about the appearance of anti-radar missiles in this update?

Not today. Thats for sure. Something like that would be covered in a CM update or dev blog if we had something to say about it.

So when would it be expected to come then? Japan doesnt have any newer aircraft than it, and the J(M) is also 13.7.

Still currently on-track for first half of 2026? (as per the Q&A)
I was thinking 7.7-8.0, yes. Sure it has stabilizer, which is not common at that BR range, but it doesn’t really have too much else. No LRF, no thermals, but STAB and APDS. It’s a rather large vehicle, but is fast. Enough protection from small arms fire, but not too much else.
While thats true, it doesn’t have HMS, MAWS, LWS, spherical RWR or highly advanced Radar such as N035.
Yea 14.0 could still be fine with a properly working kit, but any higher its more of a gimmic than smth you could enjoy in long therm honestly.
Its also a little wierd it being at the same BR as the F-16A OCU, so giving a reason to move it up a little, even just to 14.0 would help with the flow of the TT I think
Currently not something we have any news on. If / when we did, we would cover that for sure. But its just the PL-12A and AIM-120D to cover today.
