F-2A FIRST Dev Server Gameplay + Overview - Not Quite The F-16 [War Thunder]

As much as it sucks, the F-2 isn’t (probably) going to get HMD. It doesn’t have one irl. I can only hope that maybe it’ll be able to carry 6 AAM-4s, but it’s also unlikely as it really only carried 4. While the F-2 won’t be DOA, it probably won’t even be top 5 in terms of top tier jets. I’ll still get it as it’s my favorite jet, and the F-2 is still beautiful and the AESA radar is a big plus. Im still disappointed the F-2 wasn’t the first AESA wielding jet to be in the game, and still surprised that the Rafale was the first. Not that I mind, I do enjoy the Rafale, but it would’ve been nice to see the ingame F-2 be the first like in real life.

On another note, maybe the AAM-4B will be the first Fox-3 with an AESA seeker in game? I mean the Aim-120C-5 is coming, but the 4B is probably too advanced and still quite a ways away from being introduced.

Should of been added a long time ago.

it lacks so much without HMD

Japan should get aim9x first imo

Whenever i looked at F-16AJ and wanting to pretend that it is the F-2A, i simply just could not, despite there are similarities it just felt like something was missing that doesn't make it look like a F-2A, idk how to explain it.
But now that the actual F-2A is in the game now i can feel like this is the F-2A and not a F-16.

At least it doesn't seem to drink fuel like the F16's do.

The asm 1 need radar lock to use and to track ground target you need to be in "src gmti" mode and said ground target have to be moving, as for the asm2 i don't think it's finished yet as it was suppose to have an IR seeker

You might have to change the radar mode to get the ASM-1 to work

The F-2 is compressing a lot more then it should, it's flaperon deployment is based on AoA deployment in game, when it shouldn't strictly be. This causes it to compress a lot at high speeds due to lower AoA stopping them from deploying.

And no, its not gonna get HMD, it doesn't have it IRL.

For sim I hate the cockpit mirrors above the pilot head . Makes it seem like your not in F16

ASM-2 is supposed to be IR guided

the ship have to be moving to be track on radar

whats the point of anti-ship missiles if it doesnt work.. i could not get the IDS to work either.. i dont get whats the point here...

yeah looks dogshit so far for air rb
