i only saw pictures of it being mounted to the F-4 and F-8/ A-7

are there pictures of it on the F-14 and F-15?

F-14 & A-7, yes F-15 probably not, I might have to go though some video footage to see if there are any CTU’s anywhere for the limited instances of the F-15’s shown off.
F-14A & AIM-95
A-7 AIM-95

i also found this one, where you can see triple pylons on the f-4

I saw that earlier, you said it had a limited production run, but i can’t find any sources saying this happened. So could you perchance show me your sources?

Give me a minute I have to find the right page of the right copy of the senate hearings.

The plan was 70 demonstrators / EMD AUR’s + 200 pilot production represented missiles before Op-Eval. occurs.

So that was the plan as of late '74.

So it’s just proving that DSARC II milestones were reached.

For that we need another excerpt from another document (book), I’ll see if i can find it but it’s going to take longer.

Well looks like we perhaps won’t get a Pakistan sub tree this year then

Sure. if we go for realism across the board we should also get a sort of energy level/bar for manual loaders. It will deplete a certain amount with every shell loaded and will recharge over time.

Hell we could even add a system where different reload circumstances deplete the bar slower or faster. So a reload while standing still will deplete your loaders energy less than a reload while going at 60 km/h.

For a rather obsecure tank id say the AI did a great job replicating it

Yeah sending it imagines help a ton, I’ve used an imagine form a war thunder blog to help it

Gaijin can easily add in the early F-2 without stuff like AAM-3 and it would be pretty fine at 12.7 since it cant use Fox 3’s

yeah they could have given it the aim9l and aim7m and it would have been fine

F-2 early premium with aim9l and aim7m so ppl can spend 80$ to grind the new japanese top tier

the best case scenario is if a premium is just a copy paste of a tech tree vehicle
I don’t wanna pay for unique vehicles

if it is a F2 early like i said

it would probably be just a worse version of the tech tree one, look at the f/a-18 for example

so you will still get all the weaponry the F-2 early has, on the one in the tech tree

but lets not forget that this is all just speculation

JF17 is going to 15.0 /j
Anyways any guesses to whats going on sale tomorrow?

Honestly given the way that premiums and pack premiums have been sidegrades, safe to assume that proto F-2 wouldnt be a pack premium. The only way i can really see a pack premium F-2 is being an intermediate F-2 between the early and Fox 3 compat one featuring a different CAS loadout like proper usable GPS bombs since the early one didnt have the GPS targetting systems in it to set targets while in the air and could only drop on preprogrammed targets with them

gaijin has had a good track record of making high-tier japan premiums just copy pastes, which I’m very fine with. Honestly prefer it over cool vehicles or niches being pushed behind a paywall. I hope they keep doing that.
