General Japanese & JASDF General Discussion

No. It clearly says on page 5 that stand-off range is the maximum range at which it can be fired while keeping the host aircraft safe, and that self guidance range is the range at which the missile’s seeker picks up targets.

As i have previously stated, stand-off range on LOAL weapons is not dependent on lock range, if they were to be the same value the their values on the chart should be the same, which they are not.

Nah that looks so bad.

I’ve read somewhere that originally it was supposed to be the one that the premium has but they made a mistake and ended up on the tech tree version, whether is true or not it sucks not having other options

they had 1 job failed 2

It’s historical, and actually used in combat service… Not the current Aerobatic’s team one

I dont like both camos lmao. Or maybe its more of the plane issue.

Perhaps only camo that might make me play that thing XD :

So I decided to test out the AAM-3 with values approximating BTT (adjusted the fin AoA and size multiplier using a bunch of math, slightly decreased the coefficient of lift, and gave a timeToGain profile to roughly match the missile turning to orientation after launch)


Note: This is with the same PID values for guidence as currently in game, with a corrected PID value for the new fin AoA it pulls even more then this by a slight but noticable bit.

With adjusted PID logic

Sorry. Let’s stop here since we are probably on a parallel track. I’m getting tired of translating what I want to say too. Sorry, thanks.

I guess because this was the standard camo for them

Did it start to build before the end of the war?

I’ve found these 2 but they seem to be experimental or something, one of the them looks incomplete, but it would be a good semi-historic camo

I think these are the F-86 30 not the 40, still cool though

At the end of 1944, work began on the A7M3. If I remember correctly, the design work was completed in May and the construction of the first A7M3 began. But I have only a small amount of sources about it (2 books, but not Japanese)

This is the premium one we have ingame

How about the A7M3-J? I just wanna to check if really exists, I know that there is a Japanese book that might mention some details, but it only has a paper version for free to check.

Maiden flight of the first Japanese F-35B!

The Japanese started work on the A7M3-J, around mid-1944, and had major engine problems. That’s why they started work on the A7M3, because they thought it would be easier to build. I don’t want to lie to you, but I think they built one incomplete A7M3-J, which was destroyed by American bombing and an earthquake.

Do you have any recommended reading material for that? Basically, I can only find its introduction on Wiki and some websites, I am not sure if you know this: 最後の艦戦烈風 設計の秘密(曽根嘉年), If you have that in electronic or scanned version, then will be really helpful

Information about the A7M3 and A7M3-J can be found in this book.


I only have this book and one military magazine. Unfortunately, these are average sources
