At the same time, is B5N2 with H-6 a good idea for suggestions?

What can this radar do? If it’s like the german WW2 air intercept radars I don’t see it being of much use.
The H6 radar can detect large ships at 100 km, aircraft at 70 km and small ships at about 25 km. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a pretty good radar.

Aircraft at 70km? That’s pretty impressive!
I don’t know about the chosen platforms though. Neither would benefit much, if at all from a radar. Most I can imagine is to avoid other players in Simulator.
Except for J1N1-S, P1Y2-S all planes using H-6 radar were bombers. H-6 radar was big and heavy (100kg), so it couldn’t be put in navy fighters.

Would it not be possible as a modification?
Yes, you can install the H-6 radar as a modification. I just wanted to know what the community thinks about such a suggestion.

I think it would be a good idea
That is, propose the G3M/B5N with the H-6 radar, or suggestions for modification (installation) of the H-6 radar on current aircraft.

Made the wikipedia page for the AAM-4 accurate and actually decently filled with information, continueing with re-writes to the AAM-5 and F-2, gonna have a wikipedia page for the GCS-1 at some point soon also.

Wow, the AAM-4 page is really nice now. Finally, I can read wikipedia without having to look at the source for every line.
Each section was basically drawn from its own source, due to the spread of first hand information, working on finding some links for some of the articles sourced which i didn’t have links for though. Adding more citations would’ve just been slapping the same thing repeatedly at the end of each sentence.

Anyone still wants to see another camo for the F-86F-40?? Like I get some people like the Blue Impulse one that it has but the problem is that for those who doesn’t want to look like an acrobatic team there are no more options for a camo, the 30 has the T-1 colors(I know you have to buy it in the marketplace, I have it) so I don’t know why there would be an impediment to add another camo for the 40, even a plain non-painted camo would be nice…yeah I know camos aren’t a priority but if I’m gonna suffer in the 40 I want to look cool at least

I have one question after reading the Wiki, it says that the range is now 1.2x from AAM-4. I think they are probably describing the standoff range, but this does not mean that the range has increased. Standoff range here is the distance between the launch vehicle and the opponent at the time the missile enters seeker lock. This can also be achieved with an increased seeker lock distance.
The red line in the image shows “Extension of Seeker Lock Distance” under “Extension of Standoff Range”.
The blue line in the image shows the reason for the standoff range extension: “Increased transmit power”.
In other words, I don’t think the range has increased.

The sources i used listed seeker guidance range as separate to weapon-standoff range, or else i would’ve thought that yeah. I took their self-guidance distance to be the increase in seeker detection range, as it being the seeker range and stand-off range being the total range lines up much much more closely with the other known values.
In both cases in the image you sent, it uses autonomous detection range as a factor in stand-off range. Honestly I’m slightly confused on it also, as stand-off range should be the range at which the weapon can be used outside the range of enemy weapons effective range. But in that case it should be in comparison to something not as a thing by itself, as the ratio would shift depending on the range of the target’s weapons quite substantially. So, to do as i previously said, i just took it to mean their total effective usable range, as it lines up with the known values for other missiles, and makes much more sense given the context.
I’ve assumed their to be some minor translation error between the strict use of stand-off range as a missiles range past that which the enemy can return fire, to that of the missiles maximum effective range. Also even if it was the an accurate interpretation of stand-off range, the AAM-4B still has longer range then the AAM-4 anyways according to it.

Does it really exist, or just based on the blueprint?
It is mock up made with sources
