Yes, it’s basically a depth charge, but a separate impact fuse is also provided, so it can be used for ground attacks as well (see the fourth image).

Not exact F-104 but any declassified and free to public (it is most important) manual for old planes because If person has access to F-4EJ Kai manual I suppose here will other
It is very important for everyone who wanna research JSDF historic stuff and understand how it was in fact

Yeah also impact fuse was directly mentioned in specificstion in that web archive
Tbh P-2J with this 150kg bombs can be the best Japanese bomber because total amount of TNT equivalent will be 2700kg while G5N1 load is only 1700kg!

Still just depth charges no dedicated bombs such as the 500lb, 750lb, 1000lb or 2000lb.
Sorry, the item being dropped is called a supply umbrella, used to deliver rescue supplies and emergency food.

I’m not aware of his comments on those aerial bombs.
However, it seems that BRU-47 racks are installed on the underwing pylons. I don’t know if the JMSDF is considering future integration, but with the necessary upgrades and testing, it should be possible to carry bombs.
Isn’t that what he meant?
Only thing I mentioned was it had the capacity to carry up to 9000kgs internally along with missiles mounted externally under the wing pylons.

This is actually highly likely
Would be cool if they invented a rotating turret that comes down and filled with AAM-3 or 4 and can fire sideways, backwards etc…as a self defense.
That sounds like a lot for just the internal bay. Misread, you probably meant total
How many of the Type 67 depth charges can be carried internally?
Sadly I don´t know, although I also agree it sounds a lot more. I am of personally belief that they might have swapped KG from lbs since I find it hard to imagine that plane can essentially carry 9 x 2000lbs bombs essentially.
It could be that it´s internal carry capacity is 9000kgs or its total capacity is 9000kgs. I don´t know.
Although having looked after some more info more thoroughly I have come to the conclusion it might just be 9000kgs + total payload instead of just 9000KG internally
Doesn’t remove from reality that you mislead people into thinking that it carried 9000kgs internally.
You are one of the largest sources of mis-information when it comes to JSDF vehicles.
It’s much more real than many other stuff in the game, like F-16AJ, Yak-141 in the configuration that it has in-game, etc.

Yak-141 could not use any of it’s weapons IRL and the AJ is just a pipedream made by Gerneral Dynamics.

That’s my point. Also, the F-16AJ isn’t a pipedream made by GD, but a slop made by Gaijin - it’s a block 10 with block 15 avionics and weapons. Gaijin fucked up with the F-16AJ almost as much as with the F-16A OCU, which is more like an eMLU.

I was referring to the fact that Saryn claimed that the T-2 could use AIM-9L’s.
But he refuses to provide any images with it actually carrying it.
Even here, the only image that’s “proving” it is something from a manual, even though T-2 never has carried a AIM-9L throughout it’s service life.
By that logic, Yak-141 should get R-73 and 77’s, same goes to the MiG-23’s and to the MiG-29A for germany should also get R-73’s (not 77’s )
In the EJ Kai manual I have, it says It can only use AIM-9P and L’s
not AAM-3’s
What else would you need than the official documentation? We take the Japanese official claim that the Type 10 is more armoured than the Type 90 and even being able to be equipped with additional armour kits even tho we have never seen a picture of such kit. We mere mortals don’t get to see a picture of everything.

Something from manual
It became to funny that T-2 had weapon in manual but “never used it IRL” while F-4EJ Kai has tons of photos with AAM-3 but it cant be used becausw missing in manuals
So could you answer to my question?

I don’t know what he said, and I don’t intend to find out. But I think you should try to stay a bit more calm.
Whether it was actually deployed doesn’t matter in this game. What matters is availability. And even if it’s available, if Gaijin deems it unnecessary in-game, it won’t be added until it’s needed.
Are there any photos of the 6-missile ASM-2 configuration?
Any photos of the F-2 carrying JDAM-ER?
Any photos of the F-15J(M) equipped with AIM-9M?
Japan in general doesn´t use AIM-9M
Japan doesn’t operate JDAM-ER
6 missile configuration is only on paper.
in theory it’s possible on manual but the range of the F-2 would be limited.
if you want to know what he said just scroll up.
