General Japanese & JASDF General Discussion

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
