Can’t wait to play, I like Type 90 more than Type 10 lol
I’m more interested in potential helicopters to flesh out the Japanese tech tree.
The big two would be the AH-1F (which would make for a good squadron vehicle) and the AH-6. You’ve also got the option of the Eurocopter Fennec AS550 C3 combined with the AH-6 for a “light attack helicopter” branch of the japanese TT.
There’s also utility helicopters like the UH-60 but I’m not familiar with the Thai Air Force to know if they arm their utility & transport helicopters.
I do understand that notion, but I would assume that they are trying to hold out on the F-2 For as long as they possibly can as besides the F-35 (which is FAR away for obvious reasons) it is THE LAST JET Japan is going to recieve from their own nation, period.
10 hours late but the problem with a South Korean subtree is that it literally has an even more lackluster air force option to add for Japan. What Thailand has is vastly superior than what South Korea could offer in terms of aviation.
I think if for a 1 line tree, it could be enough. Early tiers you have the Haechi-Ho, SX-1, and SX-3 which all had some Japanese influence. There is the T-6D which used Japanese Type 92 bombs. The KA-1 as a mid tier attacker. The T-50 which was actually offered for Japan’s T-4 replacement program. FA-50, then F-50. F-4D with Popeyes then end with the F-15K and KF-21.
Not amazing, but it includes almost all domestic designs.
Don’t get your hopes up, they’ve done a botched job for BeNeLux subtree’s WW2 era stuff by only giving it a Fokker G.I and copy-pasta Gladiator Mk I. Heck if they’re that lazy at giving unique WW2 content, at the very least they should’ve put a copy pasta Fokker D.XXI for the BeNeLux. Oh and there’s the Hungary subtree, which purely consisted of post-WW2 content only

Why?
For a Japanese Sub…
As stated before, there are so many more appropriate and better things to add to the Japanese tree (Japanese aircraft). Copy/pasting (again) a Thai sub will not add anything to the Japanese tree, and you will do the same with a tank?
What made the game interesting was the diversity of vehicles, here there is none.
This is getting VERY boring
The South Korean tree, where is it? An autonomous tree in… 2026?
It will be too late for that…

What Japanese Aircraft are there to add at this point? F-2 will come eventually, it’s still a little bit too modern. Then it’s just F-35.
Have you even seen the Japanese air tree? The Japanese air top tier is the smallest right now. This Thai line brings some variety and the much needed CAS.

Since we are getting even more JAS39C to the game, is there a plan (or even just considered) to make “Early” and “Late” (or “basic” and “modernized”, in the same way MLU is currently handled perhaps?) variants in the future?
It would flesh out the trees and give an opportunity to give the trees that need it both a lower BR variant and a higher BR variant. They don’t necessarily need to conform to the MS update standard as i understand the issue of balance as some features that came early would be way to OP at a low BR and the other way around where features that came late are already almost a standard at even lower BR and would be weird not to give the early variant. Especially as more and more mechanics are introduced to the game.
At the moment they all feel very arbitrarily chosen purely for balance so practically none of the JAS39C in the game existed in that configuration IRL (It can be compared to if the F-16 were all handled as if they were all the same F-16 and given upgrades based on balance and not block/country of operation).
Second question:
Which features will the Thai JAS39C come with in comparison to the others (and ordinance if you are allowed to tell)?

Educate me then, instead of going full salt. Because as you are behaving right now, you’re not any better than “uneducated hateful fanboys”.
Edit: Why was this flagged? I just qouted the other guy.
This “technically possible” went too far honestly. I understood when Italian F-104S got access to AIM-9J to make them somewhere competitive compared to other nations top tier in the past, but now it’s just overused to justify each “balancing” decision.
I didn’t report you. And it’s quite funny of you to talk about fragile.
China already has 2 13.7s, they don’t need their only 12.7 removed from its BR.
@SoloWing_Makarov
Japan has no effective CAS options at this time above BR 5.3.
T-4 doesn’t have any ordnance, it’s unarmed. Even if T-4 was armed, it would be ~6.3 in BR, no where close to Alpha Jet equivalent.
EJ Kai doesn’t have JDAMs IRL
GCS-1s model means nothing. You can’t use models, you use active code.
A-10C can carry GBU-39s… flight manual my dude.
And your last sentence is hilariously wrong about TV guidance.
You have to research things before posting next time.
@StanSm1th_싸움
You don’t play Japan and you likely hate Thailand, so why do you care?
Those of us that play Japan want this diversity Thailand [and hopefully Indonesia in the future] add to the game.
Also the fact your post claims diversity isn’t diversity… obvious bait.

Wonder how many more “last messages” we’re gonna get from you. You want to be taken seriously? Don’t go blasting insults the very second someone says something you disagree with. You entered a civil discussion and turned into an insultfest. You talk about others being fragile? Look at yourself, man.
It does.
Show me.
Same thing I can say to you.
@StanSm1th_싸움
Your posts came in here with anger and vitriol toward others while being dismissive of basic facts as well as what people want.
Keep claiming that diversity destroys games while War Thunder’s competition is losing players to War Thunder because of said diversity and realism.
I don’t think I’m anyone other than myself.
I do have memories of hundreds of opinions from people in regards to many topics, this one included.
@SoloWing_Makarov
Only F-2A is capable of using JDAMs, EJ Kai was never integrated.
And no, I’m not taking your bait to get banned. Go find the documents yourself, you’re the one making exclusively false claims.
So you claim tnat A-10C carried 24 GBU-39s, and yet you refuse to back up your claim with anything. Interesting.
I don’t see him saying that the A-10C carries 24 GBU-39s, only that it can carry GBU-39s. If I’m missing something, be free to correct me.
A simple google search reveals that the A-10C is indeed capable of carrying these bombs.
My initial message explicitly said about amount of 39s, not about just the capability of it to carry 39s.
I see, I guess it was a misunderstanding then. Most of the sources I’ve seen claim it can carry 16 of those, no idea where Gaijin got the number 24.
