General Japanese & JASDF General Discussion

Virtually most of the post war Thai “copy pastes” are already in the game. What we still lack is the OV-10C and A-37B Dragonfly (along with the T-50TH) as well as the AH-1F (basically an improvement over the AH-1S) and H-125M (although it doesnt have any guided weaponry). Theres still orders for the JAS-39D/E and AH-6i which are yet to be delivered that could be added.

And this is aside from the maritime aircraft that Thailand operates as well (if it comes to WT).

When will our F-104J’s recieve the wing tip and under wing fuel tanks?

They should remove it’s 6x sidewinder loadout first, it only ever had 4.

Yes, I know that it has 6 positions to mount them in, but i have official documents claiming it only used 4 at a time. They simply swapped which pylons were wired for using said fuel tanks as far as i can tell.

if it can mount 6 and use then it should be fine, the option is there to have 4 or 6

Personally I mount 4 cause i like a more historical look n its cool

Shouldn’t the F-15JM also only have 4x ARH amd 4x IR loadout then? I have never seen a Japanese F-15 carrying AMRAAMs on the wing pylons. It’s always a mix of 4x AAM-4 on the fuselage and 2x AAM-3 + 2x AAM-5 on the wings.

Japan does have the LAU-128 rails necessary for them, as well as the necessary wiring to use AMRAAM. The AMRAAMs are just not used on the F-15Js operationally in favor of domestic missiles, which can’t be used on the wing mounted rails.

The only issue I’d really see with AMRAAM on the F-15J is that it’s the A variant, when Japan had the B variant instead. This is pretty weird considering there’s already the B variant in game, and they’re functionally identical to the A variant so it wouldn’t make a BR difference either.

I have seen x4 AAM-4 + x2 AIM-120 + x2 AAM-3/5 in a photograph somewhere I forgot where I seen it

Are you sure that there was this photo? As I know here isn’t any at the net but it is hard to say, I might miss it
