General Japanese & JASDF General Discussion

Can you differ random sites in the net and official brochures from weapon developer/MoD?

Yes, however as I mentioned official information is already scarce.

Plus theres already a record of public MoD documents being flat out deemed as “unreliable source”

If sites wrote it mostly here is open info and you just haven’t found it. Other rockets could be showed at Garrisons exhibitions and other events

Even if there were mistake made by CBR it doesn’t mean that random sites can be used for reporting like you did

Let me dive a bit into the 50 and 60 years of TRDI documents.

nvm, no mention of AH-1 or AH-64, only OH-1.

Always get reminded of official documents mentioning the high cruise speed of Typhoon being refused as source because it ‘‘is a blatant marketing lie’’. Anyway, here’s the Kh38 brochure, the Russian governement would never lie obviously.

Who and why flagged this???

If Japan is to get another jetfighter It be nice to see the Ki-201 too.

(AIM-4 on a single rail F-4EJ, I saw one with x3 rail but I forgot where I found that one will update this post when i find) found it




F-4EJ with what appears to be Hydra Rocket pods (could be wrong but thought to share it anyways)

Not sure what variant the Thai F-16 in game are but where the sniper targeting pod?

Nobody really is, especially not Gaijin.

It has the name and 3D model from the F-16A OCU, countermeasure setup from the F-16 ADF, Python 3s from the F-16B OCU, AMRAAMs from the F-16 eMLU / ADF and JHMCS from the F-16 eMLU.

Sniper pod is only integrated with the eMLU, but we got JHMCS and AMRAAM, so I’m not sure if Gaijin even cares about the variant.

i think they will eventually add an emlu with better air to ground and sniper

I really hope they take that chance and settle on one variant for the current OCU as well.

Honestly thing that sucks about F-86D, is no guns. Its only 28 mighty mouse rockets for anti air work and as far as i know dont use the variable timed fuze set by the radar. If Gaijin did give the timed fuze ones would maybe be ok

would be a nice 8.0/8.3 for japan i’d say

FFARs didn’t get any AHEAD type variable fusing,. They did however get the M429 proximity fuze, which, even better then a radar slaved timed fuze, is a full on proximity fuze.

I don’t know if japan got them, But they are technically compatible. IMO all nations which had F-86Ds should get them with them.

As I know there was 70mm rockets which worked with variable fusing where data was given via radar. In game F-89D should work this way, not with proximity fuze as in game because rockets with this fuzes appeared much later

Radar proximity fuzes came before magnetically set VT fuzes though? Variable fuse timing at the time was still done mechanically.

Also I don’t remember seeing any variably set timed fuzes in any list of FFAR fuze/warhead types? And the F-89D does not do it this way? I don’t know where the idea came from, but the flight manual mentions nothing of the sort. It does have a radar controlled fire mode. But that’s simply just automatically firing at targets when the CCIP says to, its not giving any information to the rocket. 2.75in FFARs don’t even have fuze selector options on it’s control panel.

In regards to the Sabre Dog, the Thais have a vastly better variant because its an F-86L with Sidewinders (still rocking the rockets tho but still). I have a pending suggestion on it which is taking way too long to be approved lol.
