A Line of Thai Aircraft for Japan!

Yes, but once the unique aircrafts (or vehicles) are added, I wouldn’t mind seeing fillers to fulfill their roles and fill gaps.
I’m tired of waiting for Hungarian props, which are variants of Italian planes (from what I understand when I look at the suggestion section). I think China would benefit from some gapfillers (like the Yak-17) in its tree, etc.

why not make it normal 9Ps? it way easier for no countermeasure planes to deal with non all aspect missile. Also i thought thailand never acquired 27mm gun pods from germany so should A version also not have a gun?

OCU has AIM-120 capability.
Now, whether or not Python 3 I haven’t found images, just AIM-120.

Either way, Python 3 isn’t raising OCU’s BR any.

Then fill it with unique airframes from the oceanic nations.

At the moment, we don’t have any current plans to remove the F-16AJ as it will be in a different line and at a different BR, with different weaponary to the Thai F-16.

What line will the thai stuff be added to, after the r2y2?

So we’ll get another subsonic attack jet with all aspect mislles going against aircraft with no CMs? And being its worse in performance than the A10 amd SU25 amd has no gun, im guessing 10.3 at the highest?

if the gripen C gets the rbs15, before the swedish aircraft able to carry those, i am deinstalling

either that or a new line completely as they might add lower br planes later

Awesome, having not log finished the Japan air tree it’s felt a bit weird how quickly I got through it, and a sort of incomplete feeling to things cos of that and it being a fairly small tree too to others I’ve finished

Very welcome news indeed!

in the dev QnA they hinted at the potential with something about extreme weather in the dev blogs

hope Gaijin will add Vietnam in future

God, everyone complains like it’s not a worldwide export or something like the Leopard 2…

I think that is what will happen. Thankfully (as a Japanese Air main), I just finished unlocking all the R2Y2s and the F-16AJ! So, remove away Gaijin, for it shall not affect me.

Gaijin has previously stated that the only real reason that they kept the R2Y2s was due to a lack of strike aircraft in the Japanese tree, so now that we’re getting Alpha Jets and the like, there will be no more reason for them. It is a little sad as the R2Y2 V1 was my first jet ever, but it is how it is.

The F-16AJ was there for similar reasons so that Japan could have something with guided Air-to-Ground armaments and something besides F-4s and F-15s. However, as it is kind of a substitute for the Mitsubishi F-2, it very well might not be removed until the F-2 enters the game.

So yeah, the fictional stuff is very sadly likely going (again, sad as both of those planes are some of my favorites in the game, but fair for everyone else I suppose). I’d say that the R2Y2s are likely going to go first, as Gaijin has previously said they are adamant on removing them. If any of y’all haven’t researched them yet, try to put at least a few RP in on one of them so you can research it!

Edit: Community manager just stated that the F-16AJ will be kept for now and will just see some shifting in the tech tree. Don’t worry about that for the moment. Only the R2Y2s are currently at risk of being on the chopping block.

This ^. They’ve talked about it for years, if there are ever going to do it, it’ll be now.

Agree, but we’re waaaay beyond the point where this becomes an issue already… = (

Apparently the Alpha Jet TH trialed the F-5’s gun in lieu of the mauser. Itd be cool if they added it to the TH.
