[2022] F104-S 'ASA' and its Flares/Chaff dilema.

Report link please?

Update: Countermeasures have already been configured on a later build and will be included on the aircraft on release. The dev server configuration of the F-104S ASA was purely preliminary.

Right now a combination with AIM-9B is not being considered as it would be fairly redundant at the very top BR particularly when you can carry 4x AIM-9L or 2 X AIM-9L and Aspides.

AIM-9Js have no relation to the ASA.

4 AIM-9Ls are more than sufficient for top tier. The F-104S was give 9Js on the link between Turkish F-104S for balance reasons. The same does not apply to the ASA as it has the 9L. Which is more than ok for top tier.

It's not possible to have the cannon and Aspides.

We are aware it had a LD mode. However it's perimeters, which are key to it's introduction, are not yet fully known. There is a lack of detial In this area.

This is unhelpful to the situation in every capacity. We have already explained how almost everything raised so far with the exception of the radar was down to preliminary tuning on the Dev server.

Coming at this with a negative attitude for negatives sake is not going to help.

Generally it's performance capabilities. We don't have any details on how it's look down mode works, it's limits, range etc.

We are not nerfing anything. The question was asked and we have explained that whilst it is WIP a lot of key details are missing that we in fact have for other radars.

This approach is not constructive and not helpful in the slightest. Let's get back on track. If you have source material to share then by all means.

Thank you. This is both manuals or just the ASA-M?

Thanks to everyone that submitted sources. They have been uploaded to the existing report.
