General Japanese & JASDF General Discussion

Saw this when I woke up and threw my hands in the air like a child. 9.0/.3 Lineup is gonna be amazing (even if the change isn’t that noticeable)

sooooooo if the F-2 isn’t gonna be Japan’s 14.0, what is?
only things left are thai no?
or is there another f15 or sum

The F-15J(M) most likely. Its already the strongest 13.7 in the game quite easily. Any buff to the AAM-4 or 3, or giving it anything its currently missing like MAWS or its IRST pod would be enough to bump it up honestly.

I said it when it first came and i’ll say it again, the F-15J(M) is the most future proof plane in the game, basically untill 5th gens come it will stay in top tier, due to the many ways gaijin has of buffing it.

A later iteration of the F-15J (F-15JSI). The F-2A is not up to the 14.0 standard.

Or F-35A lol.

Will it ever get better engines or will it be stuck with those anemic engines that are worse than the f-15a

Those are the engines its stuck with, but i should say they are stronger then that of the A. Yes they have lower static thrust, but they do technically have a higher peak thrust at speed.

The engines are tuned for better performance above mach 1.

What about the RF-4EJ and RF-4EJ kai as a supplemental vehicles they can add to the game, it can then lead up to the F-15DJ which can be used as a Interdiction vehicle.

RF-4EJ Kai with TASER Electronic Intelligence pod (But mainly taking the place in BR where the F-4EJ kai used to be if the EJ kai gets AAM-3 and AIM-7M’s and air to ground guided weaponry.)

What is the difference between the RF-4EJ and RF-4EJ kai?

Here are pictures of the RF-4EJ

Here is one of the RF-4EJ Kai

It shares the same visual differences as the F-4EJ to the F-4EJ kai same as avionics suite also

Why is it that Gaijin doesn’t want to give the F-4EJ Kai the AAM-3 and AIM-7M it had.
but gives Germany the F-4F ICE the AIM-9L-I and the AIM-120B’s?

If the F-4F KWS can be ingame why can’t the EJ Kai get the AAM-3’s
and AIM-7M’s

What’s the balancing issue in there?

“Missiles is a balance factor, they will be added if needed.”
The EJ kai would be better of with those missiles and a slight increase in BR to 12.7 wouldn’t hurt much to it.


I remember seeing this, didn’t we got promised a EJ Kai with AAM-3 and GCS-1.

in what way? I dont know much about top tier jets

Why would you want the 7m over the f? All it does it have more drag and a slightly bigger gimbal

Amazing airframe, Missiles that are slightly better than the American counterparts at the same BR (AAM-4 vs AIM-120A/B, AAM-3 vs AIM-9M, etc.), amazing radar, HMD, great BVR capabilities (with still good Dogfighting capability), good amount of Countermeasures, along with the ability to use 6+2 (4 AAM-4, 2 AIM-120 + 2 AAM-3). The only one that comes close is the F-15C MSIP, which is essentially identical but with American Missiles and a tad heavier (iirc)

Its only downside is GRB, where it has no guided munitions. Though I think it could carry GCS-1, so when that comes it’ll be viable.

Is Thailand F-5E (I guess is the squadron one?) got Litening pod IRL?

No, but the F-5TH;

But the Super Tigris project began at 2015 and this procument had completed at 1996, is that normal?

Y’know this would be a 10/10 update if I finally got this part of my tank.

So has anyone been able to test ASM-1/ 2 on the dev server and have an opinion about its usefulness? I tried to look for a video about it but no luck

They are still unusable
