Good luck. Did Japan send any pilots/engineers to USA concerning the idea?
I am not sure but the US did send F-106’s to Naha, Okinawa in the past and the fact it has been taken part for the second F-X selection. I won’t be suprised if they tested those aircrafts. Allthough I am unsure but I’ll keep digging since the F-106 is one of my personal favs.
If they actually test it and if it’s viable enough to be in the game, it would not be a copy paste of the F-106 we have as event due to lack of IRST sensor, HMS, the AIM-4 falcons but gain the ability to use the AIM-9B sidewinder and AGM-12 Bullpups / bombs.
Especially the AGM-12 bullpups would be nice for a 9.3 aircraft in japan for ground RB.

same, since they moving F-15J to 12.7 they have no reason to not add same loadout (4 AIM-7M + 4 AAM-3) to worse airframe (F-4EJ Kai) on bordered BR (12.3)

If the F-106J had won the FX competition, the AGM-12 Bullpup capability would likely have been removed. The same was true for the F-4EJ.
A Japanese Grumman F11F-1F Super Tiger would be cool. Japan bought spare parts for this plane when Lockheed bribed and won the F-104.

Didn’t Japan considered acquiring a unique variant of the F-100 with radar around the same time the F-106 & F-11F’s were considered?
It seems that they ultimately chose neither the Su-35 nor the F-15EX, but opted for the two-seat Rafale instead.
Well legally they could name it Hollywood edition or something but yes fairly sure they could get away with it one way or antoher.

True, hopefully we see them as skins even though Gaijin is a little koi concerning semi historical skins but these paint jobs are important because the T-6 has been used in film making for years as it looks like any radial aircraft you want it to be. (with some small changes)
Am i blind or japanese Fw190A-5 is basically a Fw190A-4 with wrong name and br?
R-73 for 12.7 Yak-141
12.7 for F-16 with 4 Magic 2
More IRCCM near (at 12.7) EJ Kai and still no AAM-3 for him
