General Japanese & JASDF General Discussion

I’m not sure about the F-15J, haven’t played it since I got my JM like three days after it came out, so I don’t remember whether it has HMS, but the F-16AJ surely does not. And neither have ARH missiles.

The F-15J just has a much better flight performance (F-16AJ might win a turnfight at some specific speeds but that’s about it) and much better air to air weapons (4x Sparrow + 4x AAM-3 vs 2x Sparrow + 4x 9L). Oh and also countermeasure count.

Aren’t your question was about F-16A OCU?

Also His Majesty Ship? Because in case of jets I only know HMD (Head Mounted Display)

Gaijin are shit in balancing, at this point F-4EJ Kai have all rights to get AAM-3 without increasing of BR, literally same load out except AIM-7F

HMS - Helmet Mounted Sight

E.g. slewing the seeker or radar aquasion point around

It’s part of HMD
“Applications which allow cuing of weapon systems are referred to as helmet-mounted sight and display (HMSD) or helmet-mounted sights (HMS).” Part of HMD Wikipedia page

Narp, HMD - Helmet Mounted Display thats just having HUD in cockpit view when not looking straight ahead, not all HMS have HUDs, e.g. early russian HMS don’t display anything, and not all HMDs have HMS

All HMDs are HMS, not all HMS are HMD.

Like the old Shchel system from the USSR or VTAS from the old F-4s. These don’t really display anything (at most a circle or so) in the helmet but allow the pilot to slave missiles and radar.

Compare that to something like JHMCS, which is a full fledged HMD, and displays important information.

What the hell is this word? But okay I will agree with you, since mostly in WT it refer as HMD I suppose it that

Aren’t HMD can be without HMS? So more proper would be said all HMSD are HMS…
I can easily be wrong because I’m NOT English person and can refer to wrong thing

I mean, there’s probably some HMDs without HMS, but all I can think of integrate some sort of HMS.

Besides, if you’re gonna make a HMD, it would be an odd choice to leave out the ability to slave missiles…

Actually I think the HMD on some Helicopters like the Apache and (maybe) Mi-28 can’t slave missiles, so you might be correct.

Aren’t they still have HMS for gun? (I wanted to say but remember that gunner have HMSD for gun)

I’m not sure. I’m not all that well read on Helicopter systems to be honest.

Problem with word HMD for me that it used as analog to Russian/Soviet(as tech language) “НСЦ” which is HMS, that’s why I’m lost there

AAM-4 delta V nerfed

The missile is much heavier than the AIM-120A while having a bit higher reported range, how does a nerf to its max speed make any sense?

Good artists. And the models are interesting, too.

And the clownish developers forgot that, besides bombers and aircraft based on them, there are distinctive twin-engine planes. We crumble at the slightest spit in our direction.

seems like AAM-4 got a bad nerf
