I would take that any day of the week, but i think they would prefer us grinding out an f-2 (late) rather than flat out giving us an upgrade for free.
this one is inevitable if getting the JSI regardless, as of now aircraft sensor modules can’t be changed but only weapons

I’m working on one right now, but still missing two major sources (I have the specific pages, but not their source).
Mainly this one I’d like to know what book / document it is from, so if anyone has it that would be helpful.
Target Temperature Range (compared to surface temperature)
I’d also appreciate any additional information on the testing on JSQ-20, or the JSQ-20 itself, since this is the most important proof to show that ships far smaller than 30m can still be tracked.
I don’t expect it to be very reliable against ground targets either way though, at best there might be lucky situations.

Its good to get it done early for when we eventually get modern ships which allows us to bring these modern jets into naval. Being able to drop that many bombs on a small fast ship would be nice.

In WT sinking enemy ship really isn’t that useful nor rewardful isn’t it? Still don’t know why Gaijin decided to add those ammunition way before they adding modern vessel into the game…
I don’t even know if it needed since there is F-15J with 4x AMM-3 and 4x AIM-7M on 12.7
It can be useful. In Sim EC it is an important objective.
remember when I said before giving it IRCCM would raise it’s BR? even though it’s a brick
it would get that BR raise via custom BR and AAM-3 mod added into research
I mean what’s the point of him then? Weaker base with less flares on same BR?
Literally add AAM-3 so most players would not use because then it would get to 13.7 and would fight against 4 and 4+ gens as before but now it has alternative on same BR with better base and more flares.
I would agree about 12.7 if F-15J would be 13.0 but no, F-15J on 12.7.
Literally
That’s exactly why it should be optional. AAM-3 is historical armament for F-4EJ Kai, and arguably the one it is most known for, so many would like to see it for that reason alone.
It’s not great for gameplay, which is why it should only be an optional BR increase, with people keeping the option of the current loadouts at the lower BR.

F-4EJ Kai still have pretty hard enemies with AIM-9M most of time (No sense talk about Bison with R-73 on same or Mirages with Magic 2 lower), if it was late F-4E yeah, it’s pretty peak and 12.7 with loaded of F-15 would be cool, but it’s early F-4E without aegile so fighting againts R-73, Magic-2, AIM-9M are hard for him
I dont use the ej kai in air anymore due to the f18 spam who are just you but better. But in Escalation i would love to have aam-3 as ir missiles are what i get most of my kills with. Bringing anti ship loadouts with 4 7ms and 4 aam-3s would be great alongside the aj and f15 to create a real line up. F15 for supremacy, f-16aj for cas and the ej kai for ship. Im not going to bring the ej by itself so may as well give it the option of aam-3 with an increase in br if needed if we get the custom br.

Exactly, I tried it couple days ago (it’s my favorite plane)
AIM-9M, R-27, Magic 2 and others every game, and what EJ Kai have to answer, AIM-9L and AIM-7M (AIM-7M cool missile but still in compare to others…)
Depends where you are taking it. In a regular air game absolutely, but for example in more objective based modes like Nuclear Escalation you might want the naval strike capability of the F-4EJ Kai (with GCS-1 and ASMs added next update) over the F-15J. Here it would be very useful to have AAM-3 as defense missile instead of AIM-9L.
(Though compared to F-15J, it could maybe even get AAM-3 without any BR increase)

Give it aam-3 and it would just be a mirage 1 but slightly more balanced, change my mind. It needs aam-3 to be relevant again.

That’s my point
Im going to be playing the f-1 and ej kai so much more now, Anti Ship is alot of fun in escalation but you really need a lineup because as soon as you kill the ships youll have nothing to do but run air supremacy. Hence why i want an actual lineup so giving it aam-3 to bring alongside the aj and f-15 would fit.

In anti-surface it’s better, but my point about ARB in general, where not much ground or even ships, and most of time you will fight 4 gen jets without weapon againts 4 gen jets
I mean why play the ej kai anymore when you have 2 fantastic options only 0.4 higher with the aj and f-15j? I would take the hit in air rb anyday if it meant it was better in escalation and ground.
