Would it be bad to suggest removing the sea skiming on ASM-2 so we can have some sort of domestic long range AGM? (For gameplay purposes)
I mean there is ASM-2B which has GPS but i belive that also has sea skimming (correct me if im wrong tho)

In it’s regular launch modes it behaves the same as the ASM-2, so i’d assume so. The only question would be if waypoint guidence allows it to be set to specific altitudes.
Now, something that could be done, is it’s sea skimming could be adjusted. I believe in game it’s altitude is true altitude, when it should be radar altitude, which would massively help its usability over land.

Nice! If you can find anything on the gunsight, please post it.
This is something I made in a quick scrap, but this is how I’d visualise the Japanese Tech tree.
Yes I am aware South Korea is in there because I didn’t know of the supposed leak and I thought War Thunder would do something similar to Wargame: Red Dragon
To me this makes more sense.
Anyways, although taking inspiration of @MAUSWAFFE’s Subtree folders idea. on my second edit.
Regarding the Phantoms and the Eagles differences
I have changed the EJ and EJ Kai’s BR because of the additon of the AIM-9’L’s to the EJ’s
and the AAM-3’s to the EJ Kai’s
Here are a few examples of F-4EJ with AIM-9L’s
Here is a F-4EJ Kai with AAM-3’s (in case you didn’t believe it carried them)
Regarding the RF-4EJ’s
although my knowledge of them is sparce but from known images, they still retain the sparrow slots on the fuselage, unlike the RF-4E’s. And the weapons avionics are still similar to the F-4EJ.
So I thought it be best for them to take the older BR positions and air to air loadouts of the F-4EJ and EJ Kai while the EJ and EJ Kai would be put in a +0.3 and +0.4 BR higher to compensate with their improved missiles.
RF-4EJ with an AIM-9P
RF-4EJ Kai with an AIM-9L
Also here is a F-104DJ
My list is still incomplete and am working on adding more vehicles / nations to fit the Japanese tree into a South/East asian tech tree.
I’d like to hear what you think of it.
There are also a lot of Japanese vehicles I want to add but am currently looking at how to add them into the tech tree

In regards to the EJ Kai, we could have a folder for F-4EJ Kai which we currently have at 12.3 and foldered with it is F-4EJ Kai (Late) with AAM-3’s, giving an option if you want a more standard EJ Kai or just want to get to the top tier “good stuff”

Both of these are capable of carrying armament, the RF-4EJ even retained the cannon.
The only issue armament-wise is that it’s unclear if the RF-4EJ can use radar missiles since it’s sometimes mentioned to have ground mapping radar. This is irrelevant for carrying IR missiles (that are sometimes seen even in service), rockets or bombs.
The F-104DJ might be more difficult to implement since it lacks a cannon, but even that isn’t necessarily impossible since we at least have premium aircraft without a cannon already.
Agreed on this part though. It just creates unnecessary tension where other alternatives can also be done.

This low effort copy paste does not justify the addition of a copypaste F-15J that’s a twin seater.
Besides that, there is no F-15DJ(M).
No F-15DJ were upgraded to the MSIP II.

Do you have a source for the conversion of F-4EJ to RF-4EJ to remove the capability to use suspended armaments? From images of the cockpits it seems at least the controls are still there and images show them at least carrying IR missiles.
If you have any (declassified) sources that the weapons computer was removed those would be very interesting to see.
Still, at the very least it is armed with a cannon, which might be interesting.

Isn’t this the same person who tried arguing against AAM-3 on the EJ Kai cause their old manual didn’t have it listed, despite photographic evidence disagreeing, the dates not lining up, and the manual still being classified?

Yes, that’s why I’m skeptical here too. But if there is sources this time it could be helpful

I have no hope, I do however take pride in that we’ve attracted our designated poorly sourced hater, a great achievement for any minor nation thread

Not sure why you guys even bother to entertain him its best to just avoid his comments if it just leads to useless arguments.

The RF-4E is unarmed, but the RF-4EJ was created by adding a reconnaissance pod to the early F-4EJ model, so it retains its original weapon capabilities. Its RWR was later upgraded to the EJ Kai standard.
When you say “RF-4EJ Kai”, is that what you’re referring to?
Personally, I’m somewhat opposed to adding aircraft such as the F-104DJ, which has neither a Vulcan nor countermeasures, or the RF-4EJ, which is no different from the F-4EJ, as well as the RF-4EJ (Kai?) which has only its RWR upgraded. I do understand the desire to make existing aircraft capable of carrying the AAM-3, though.
As for South Korea, I’d like to see it combined with North Korea in the form of a unified Korean tree. Even though they are technically at a ceasefire, I’d like to see the interesting situation of two nations in dispute being merged.

don’t bother checking for the RF-4E/EJ Kai’s existence, it is not a real plane.
it’s just a designation Saryn gives to hype up the Recce phantoms.
