General Japanese & JASDF General Discussion

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.

Its already the strongest 13.7 in the game quite easily

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

have we ever figured out what radar was planned for J6K1 or was it just “if the military is interested then we’ll make one for the plane later” thing cause im 100% sure its not FK-3 like people think

Found some footage of zero and reppu flying along side each other.

It is not Reppu but Ki-43 Hayabusa. Both flying at US tests

from bad quality video its hard to tell
thanks for correction

Name of planes is said on Japanese from video where said about tests of A6M and Ki-43 Hayabusa and also you can clearly check missing gear covering

Did they change the Zero or my memory wrong? Why the self-sealing tank on A6M5 mod. 52 gone?

(For those who doesn’t know chinese it just said "Fuel Tank, non self-sealing)

Only the A6M5 Hei has self sealing fuel tanks.
