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

I would take an ej kai with aam at 12.7 any day. Would make for a fantastic jet, although it would probably do to move the other jets back up to 13.0 but who knows, i just think it would be alot of fun to mess around with.

On same br as F-15J with AAM-3 now? Also F-4EJ Kai most of time play 13.0 so there would be small difference
I just think no 11.3 deserves to face an aam 3. The f15 should be moved back up but who knows.
So they deserve to face R-73 (MiG-21 Bison), Magic 2 (Mirages) but no AAM-3? Also does 12.3 (only difference from F-4E (11.3) is a radar and AIM-9L and no agile eagle) deserve to face Fox-3s (AIM-120s, R-77s, PL-12, thank Gaijin not MICAs)?
Eh, give it aam 3 at 12.3 and see how it goes. I just think it could be a little dominant. Especially in sim where irccm missiles. And there is a difference between 2 r73s which are quite easy to flare from a distance to aam3s which are scary at all ranges. Especially with how i use them (top down from 10km) where it gives very little time to notice them.
I don’t think the aam3 or 9l worth 0.4br
Seeing how a lot of aircraft went down in BR in GRB recently do you guys think it will be a good time to ask for the T-2 and F-1 to go down a little? While Japan already has 9.3 and 9.7 CAS respectively I don’t see why they are still 9.7 and 10.0 in GRB when T-2 has no CCIP/CCRP and F-1 only has it for bombs you could argue the speed and the vulcan but they aren’t really the fastest aircraft anyway and the vulcan is pointless in grb when you have to get really close to use it without any guidance, F-1 can carry more ordnance but there’s already other aircraft at that br that can carry similar or even less but heavier ordnance while having access to a full ballistics computer and even chaff

The Alpha Jets are ludicrously better than both the T-2 and F-1 as they have flares, CCIP for rockets and bombs and the later one gets all-aspects missiles, there’s no point in using T-2 and F-1 doesn’t even have a lineup.
Their BRs should be lowered as they’re pretty much only half-viable for CAP as their flight models won’t do any favors in GRB, maybe even give the F-1 a countermeasure pod. The lack of CM make it so all you can effectivelly do is fly around the map to avoid the missile AAs and spawn camp their air spawn. Sure you can take rocket pods for makeshift flares but they work only when heading towards the missile and it kills the already bad maneuverability.
Guys I just did a suggestion about the ASM-3, do you know how much time is it pending before being verified and released ?
