One question
Since the R2Y2’s are going to become hidden from research, is there any plans for any new aircraft to take it’s place in the TT either in the form of some Japanese operated aircraft such as the P-2J, T-1, T-33 and/or the XT-4 and/or some ASEAN operated aircraft such as the Filipino operated T-610, S.211 Indonesian operated AT-33, Lim-5/6, Vietnamese operated A-37 Dragonflies and/or even more Thai operated aircraft. Either within the upcoming patch or in future patches?
A better set of striker aircrafts are welcome, one thing Japan lacks.
This really is a problem that needs addressed sooner rather than later. The Ki-102 NEEDS its bombs. Japan NEEDS more dedicated CAS in the low-mid tier range, and this would be a good fit, if it only had its bombs! The fact that they haven’t gone through the relatively little trouble it would take to implement them, in all its many years of existence in this game, is quite frankly unacceptable.
I mean most of russian navy in game is already paper, unfinished or borrowed from other countrys. If russia only got russian finished ship they would be well uncompetative. I think when it comes to late Axis weapons even unfinished prototypes should be added and kept in game as axis vehicles got their research hard stopped by end of ww2 bombing while allies happly continued their late ww2 vehicles research without any issues.
Agreed, I am sick of japan getting american copy cats or other copys with thai markings while there are so many options that can be added in air and especially ground to fill the gaps and make lineups with japanese vehicles.
Like what? Japan has reached a point where it has almost everything its had IRL. The only stuff its not got IRL ingame is a bunch of very useless trainers, the F-2, the F-15JSI, and the F-35A and B. Theres nothing left domestic unless you want to go into paper stuff. This is the same for ground as well theres almost nothing left to add outside of random prototypes that never made it far
For Japan ground, looking at the Ke-nu, Ho-To, Type 87 turret on Type 61 hull, and STC-1, thats it. Thats literally all that is left for Japan ground for what was actually made by them that would be usable in WT
Dude, what nonsense are you talking about? There are over 140 suggestions about Japanese planes on the forum and over 100 more possible. and you say there are only 10 planes left for Japan. Likewise, there is a lack of mass of vehicles.
90% of the suggestsions i see regarding Japanese planes are of paper project planes, stuff that is not addable to the game
Ki-48 over 2,000 planes, yes, that’s paper. A6M7 over 100 planes, yes, that’s paper. N1K1-Jb over 200 planes, yes it’s a paper plane. and lots of others.
There is only one fake Japanese plane on the forum, the F-14. Each other is a production aircraft (Ki-51,Ki-48,A6M7,M6A1 and others), a full prototype (Ki-64,Ki-60,N1K3-J and others) or an unfinished prototype (Ki-91,N1K5-J and others)
Dude…
I don’t know how you can really say things like that if you really looked just any suggestion or searched any possible for wt vehicle
Yes, definitely and all of the suggestions that were passed to the devs were paper planes as well
Paper vehicles cannot be suggested to begin with, the bare minimum would be unfinished prototypes with unique parts built, and even then it’s not like 5% of the suggestions.
Not even close. Of the F-2 alone we can have 3 variants (XF-2A, F-2A early life production, F-2A mid life upgrade) without going into future weapons or the twin seat models. FS-X had several parts built specifically for it and counts as an unfinished prototype. And if gaijin is willing, the X-2 is similar to the Yak-141 in completeness.
Also as evidenced by the Strikemaster, underarmed trainers are clearly not useless.
That’s exactly what prototypes are, though.
Ki-44-III, A6M8, A6M4, A6M3 w/ 30mm, up-armed J2Ms, even the bubbletop variants of Ki-61-II and Ki-100…
edit: even mentioning just “Ki-44-III” is kinda wrong since there were 3 with very quantifiable differences between them, so there’s 2 more.
You can mention a lot of production and prototype aircraft for Japan. From giant planes such as Ki-91 and Ki-20, to support planes such as Ki-3, Ki-30, Ki-36, Ki-51, Ki-71, Ki-94, A6M7, Kikka, then a mass of fighter Ki-27 Ko, Ki-43-III Ko, Ki-44-III Ko and Otsu, A6M8, Ki-60, Ki-64, Ki-100 Otsu, Ki-106, there are also bombers such as G3M, Ki-48, LB-2, G4M2, G4M3, G5N2, P1Y2, to night fighters J1N1-S, A6M5-S, D4Y2-S, C6N1-S, Ki-84 Tei, to many aircraft of the Japanese self-defense forces: PV-2, PS-1, P-1, P-2, P-2J, P-3, T-33A, T-1, S2F-1, XT-4, F-2. There are tons of options for almost every Br from 1.0 to 14.0
Besides what others have already said, there is the Me-262, which is just as ”real" as the Japanese Tiger, and the Ki-201, which may or may not have been a straight copy of the abovementioned Me-262, but at least they did start to build it, so it could still be at the edge of what is acceptable in game, even under the current standards. Both of these planes are direct alternatives to the R2Y2 that are not pure paper projects and can fly under the Japanese flag.
How about we don’t introduce anymore useless copypaste slop and take a look at players’ suggestions?
there is at least few hundred of them for Japanese air tree, all real projects without any paper vehicles
The hood lost a real one, RIP.
