I know this but it doesn’t change that R2Y2 is part of fictional vehicle which wasn’t even planned to be armed with cannons.

Exactly they used a book that was more fiction than truth to design the R2Y2, no design is not right copy paste is more like it…

Still tough at the very least if the devs choose to implement the J7W2 we know where every part should go, behind the pilot is the fuel then engine behind that there is no doubts. Approx top speed would go from 750 to 780 so gameplay wise not much would change?

@Noveos_Republic

Was the R2Y2 designed with the provision to carry bombs?

Nah doubt it, it was recon plane tough some say a jet version was planned but nobody shows me the proofs so I dunno…

Announcing the Removal of the R2Y2 from Research

I have re-examined the historical context of the R2Y2. To clarify, the R2Y2 is not a jet fighter but a high-speed torpedo bomber. While the R2Y2 V2 to V3 variants may need to be removed from the game, there is room to retain the R2Y2 V1 for naval battles by removing its cannons and adding torpedoes. Alternatively, I propose replacing it entirely with the late-model R2Y1, which was historically reclassified from a reconnaissance aircraft to a torpedo bomber. Even in the initial design phase of th…

With the removal of the R2Y2

The R2Y1 was developed under the influence of the He 119 reconnaissance bomber, which the Imperial Japanese Navy purchased from Germany. The He 119 was initially designed as a high-speed reconnaissance aircraft and was later developed as a bomber. It was intended to evade enemy fighters with its high speed and successfully carry out reconnaissance and bombing missions. The R2Y1 followed a similar concept. It was originally developed as a reconnaissance aircraft but was later adapted into a high…

Yep nothing like the plane we got…

As its slowly taking more shape; I am working with others of our Research Group on a new thread that will cover the 5th F-X Project, X-2 Shinshin and GCAP from the Japanese perspective specifically.

Once the base content is done, I will publish it and update / improve it over time as with the Rafale thread.

Anyone have the image of the yf-16 with 4 sparrows/ 2 sparrows on the gear bay doors?

Did japan get none of the advanced eagles? Or, with the f-35, they deemed it’s useless?

@kizvy

Did japan get none of the advanced eagles?

Japan is developing their own advanced Eagle (F-15JSI). Proposals for F-15FX were rejected.

[kizvy]

Will it too get the 12 amraam loadout? or will it even get 12 aam4s?

[WreckingAres283]

Unknown, though JASSM(-ER) are pretty much confirmed. We will know more once the first one takes flight or more details come up in JMoD notices.

Here’s something I made a while ago. (It’s not complete)

I just realized I posted this in here already some time ago 😭

T-4 is an unarmed trainer.

[skultew1234]

That’s why we need XT-4!

Back to the list, here is some other a little bit weird (as for me) things:

• Here is G6M in bomber line but this plane missing any bomb load, it was used as gunner plane for covering bombers
• Ki-78 was plane for researchs only and no weapon wasn’t even planned
• Ki-15 (both). Not sure but according to JP wiki it was missing bombload but placed in bomber line here. Too lazy to check books tbh
• S1A is attacker when it was 100% interceptor. Yeah it had 2 250kg bombs but it is more closer to Ki-83
• P1Y2 is attacker but if I don’t mistake it is just P1Y1 with another engines (but I can be wrong here)
  Maybe I missed also something

I think he might be referring to Kawasaki MT-X (Kawasaki T-4 trainer prototype)

Correction about the P-4 → This is the P-1, could be good at 9.7ish due to it’s large size
