And for god sake just lover the god damn zeros, if it’s has good maneuver ability doesn’t mean that it’s good
Probably would be fixed and one ship would require 6 of them to be destroyed
Am i the only one who thinks that gaijin just straight hate Japan and work on her just to not raise too many questions from the community?
Also a little note that it is not modes related to bombs but related to plane FCS. And RCCD/RCID was modes special made for F-1 while F-4EJ Kai was missing it. Unfortunately I still can’t exactly understand how it should work

i wonder if they’ll give ASM-1 to the F-1 this update :(
Nope
Just give us T-2 with canards and call it a day
Something that imo would make a neat TT or Squadron vehicle for Japan.
F-15J(modernised with IHI F-110-129 engines)
The Japan Air Self-Defence Force (JASDF) is considering an industry proposal to re-engine its Boeing/Mitsubishi F-15J/DJ Eagles with the General Electric F110-129 turbofan powerplant, as part of a planned forthcoming upgrade of the fighter.
Mitusbishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has been conducting initial design work for an F-15 upgrade since March, under a ´2.16 billion ($14.79 million) contract from the Japan Defence Agency. The JASDF is to decide shortly on the final package of enhancements for its fleet of 194 licence-built F-15s.
The JASDF is being offered the F110-129 as an alternative to further upgrading of the existing Pratt & Whitney F100-220E turbofan fitted to Japan’s F-15s. The Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries (IHI) licence-built F100 is the subject of an on-going digital engine electronic control retrofit, for about $3 million per engine.
The 29,000lb (129kN)-thrust F110, aside from providing improved performance, would offer future engine commonality between the F-15J and new Mitsubishi/Lockheed Martin F-2A/B due to enter service in early 2000. IHI has already signed an agreement with GE to build the F110-129 under licence for the F-2.
Installation of the F110 could potentially present a major design and manufacturing boost to MHI, given that Japan would be the first F-15 operator to commit to such a programme. The US Air Force has conducted a flight evaluation and qualification of two F110-powered F-15s, with the intent of offering a choice of engines to future customers, such as South Korea.
A major hurdle to overcome is finding the additional funding within an already stretched JDA budget for a new engine purchase. The JASDF is budgeting a total of ´40 billion to upgrade the F-15’s Raytheon APG-63 radar and avionics systems by 2003, of which Y9.2 billion has already been approved for fiscal year 1998. The first modernised aircraft is due to fly in 2001.

I can only imagine what that must be like,
F-15J’s with 5000kgf more thrust.
Instead going from F-100-IHI-200E
6230kgf dry thrust each
8630kgf wet thrust (after burner) each
total thrust
12460kgf dry thrust
17260kgf wt thrust
to F-110-IHI-129
each
6960kgf dry thrust
11480kgf wet thrust
total thrust of two engines
13920kgf dry thrust
22960kgf wet thrust
that’s an increase in total thrust of around
1460kgf dry thrust
and
5700kgf wet thrust (after burner)
compared to the F-100-IHI-200E engines.
note
Sadly it was never adopted. (as in it never left the proposal stage)
Reason why they didn’t is because the F-15J’s which were based on the F-15C’s unlike the E’s did not share a common engine bay, which would make Engine swapping difficult.
Which means they had to modify or re-design the engine bay to make it fit and work.
I came across this and thought that would make a neat interesting vehicle for Japan in game.
This configuration was just something what I think would make a good candidate for a Squadron Vehicle or maybe a foldered TT vehicle for the F-15J(M).

rip, i have a console acc
ouch ;-;
I wish that light gray camo was available for F-1, looks great, anyway maybe we should request the ASM-1 in the dev server discussion, they have been adding a lot of ordnance for aircraft of lower BR, plus Nuclear Escalation would most likely be permanent when the update drops so we would finally have a place to use them(they will be intercepted like others)

Better yet, someone should create a suggestion for it. I’d create one, but I’m currently too preoccupied with other matter.
for the ASM? it got already accepted, as for the camo I have thought about it but I need proper sources that aren’t the hasegawa scale model box
I don’t see any such suggestion on the suggestion list, nothing like “ASM-1 for F-1”. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Weapons suggestion should be checked on report system, not on forum

This image is a comparison chart of the AAM-4 and other missiles, taken from a presentation document on the development of the AAM-4B. When compared to the AIM-120B, the stand-off ranges are listed as 1.0 and 0.9-, respectively, indicating that the AAM-4 has a better than the AIM-120B.
The “stand-off range” referred to in this document does not refer to the missile’s flight distance, but rather to the distance between the launcher and the target when the missile has locked onto the target with its seeker.
This is where it gets important. The reference materials in this list include military magazines. Japan conducted an evaluation from June to August 2001 and compiled this document. However, prior to that, in March 2001, Japan acquired the AIM-120B and conducted compatibility tests with the host aircraft. This timeline matches the period listed in SIPRI.
In other words, Japan knows more about the performance of the AIM-120B than military magazines do—even without relying on them.
Since we’re comparing missiles, the conditions are the same: altitude, distance from the target at launch, speed, weather, etc. — everything. Based on these factors, the difference in stand-off range figures shows that the AAM-4 has a higher speed than the AIM-120B.
