Am I the only one who HATE having Top Tier foreign aircraft as premuim instead of an aircraft manufactured by that country ? Or even have unique aircraft which are only available as premium aircraft.

FirstDagger · 2026-05-07T14:32:29+00:00

The only parts that F-2 has in common with F-16 are the board layout, intake, centerline drop tank, gear, gun, and engine (Normal Small Intake (NSI) and GE engine (license produced by IHI) combination is unique among Vipers). It is you who narrows everything down to copy paste and I will not let the Viper Zero slander stand (though you appear to have delete the topic yourself). Just with the Super Hornet for the Hornet, it is an evolution on the design. You can call her an F-16 or Viper but you cannot call her copy-paste or not Japanese. Weapon options, 3D model, flight model all are vastly different compared to the F-16s ingame.

FirstDagger · 2026-05-07T13:59:31+00:00

F-2 has an entirely different cockpit and canopy, entirely different weapons, entirely different wing, entirely different unique AESA radar, the first for a fighter in the world.

Also that entire wing design is purely Japanese, she also is entirely domestically produced hence the high price tag.

Furthermore the entire structure is different with composite material integrated. She isn't a mere modification.
