this has to be a joke no way this guy is serious
i see your point. however would you rather have an F-16 that has AESA instead at the same BR?
We were forced to get ‘promoted’ Japanese F-16, and now we have a suggestion on ‘considered’ Su-27. I’d guess next one would be an ‘imagined’ RX-78-2.
According to your theory, south korea should get…
Well for that to happen South Korea should first get a tech tree.
No, please NO
Why are there so many absurd proposals like this only in Japan TT?
Stop whining that Japan lacks air-to-ground capabilities.
Wrong plane likes the F-16AJ should no longer be produced.
Please do not base your comments on topic names or things you have only slightly read.
Overall, it presents two alternatives to Japan’s Su-27, including Indonesia.
Japan’s Su-27 is a paper airplane like the F-16AJ, but other proposals are different. These two options are real, not paper airplanes.
At least one of them, Indonesia, could also serve as an option to add to the game.
First of all, adding Su-27 to Japan TT is a story of complete creation, so it is absolutely not valid.
Next, the addition of Indonesia’s Su-27 to JASDFTT can’t be further explained why.
If it makes sense to add Indonesia’s Su-27 to Japan’s TT because the Japanese army took control of Indonesia during World War II, then France was also taken over by Germany during World War II, so the French equipment should be on the German TT.
So the argument is ridiculous…
The frequent and unreasonable proposals are partly the fault of gaijin, which has been implementing fictitious or almost irrelevant national aircraft and vehicles, leaving the standards vague and interpreting them as conveniently as possible from time to time. I have a suggestion. Rather than confuse TT further with fictitious aircraft and sub-trees, why don’t you just insist that the “national tree system should be stopped”? The main reason for proposing to implement the Su-27 in the Japanese TT is that it is too much work and time consuming to start from scratch with the Soviet TT, isn’t that problem solved if the F-4EJkai can directly grind the Su-27 and F-16C?

If Japan Succeeds in grabbing Su-27 like this.
What will be next to Japan Tech Tree…?
How about F-15J Kai(改) Eagle plus from Patlabor 2?
Not a surprise that Japan Tech Tree got their own fake F-16J in the ‘Sky Guardians’ update.
No more fake paper planes in Japan tech tree. we had enough of nonsense fake planes like R2Y2 Keiun Kai or F-16AJ.
Who is this monster…?
Replacements for the Keiun Kai series are also being considered, but although replacements exist, no progress has been made and the plan is expected to be put on hold for the time being.
By the way, this was last May.
Replacements for the Keiun Kai series are also being considered, but although replacements exist, no progress has been made and the plan is expected to be put on hold for the time being.
As long as Gaijin didn’t bring Keiun Kai’s replacement. it is just another check that can’t be cashed.
Just like ‘Not Virtual but Real Cockpits for Bomber’ in 2013 Cockpits for bombers: work in progress!
But there is a plan. There will come a day when Japan will graduate from the paper airplane group. It may be a long journey, but we need information to get there. And we need to talk about what we can add to the Japanese tree.
Yeah, I agree that Japan Tech Trees are having troubles with too few Cold-War-era jets despite the ‘Historical Issues’
(Kind of like Kishi Kicked F-100 off from the table.)
Of course, we need to talk about what can be added. More planes bring more fun! Right?
But at the same time, we also need to talk about ‘What shouldn’t be added from suggestion pools.’ (well… this is Gaijin’s work, but sadly Gaijin failed when they added F-16AJ… So…)
Well… I think an ‘improved variant of F-15J’ or F-2 (and introduction of ARH Missiles) can be answers to cease the need for Su-27 on the Japanese Tech Tree branch. I was happy to read interesting stories about JASDF’s attempt to buy Su-27 but no. I voted ‘no’ at votes too.
When the F-16AJ arrived, Japan was happy that they finally had a fighter that could fight. But Japan doesn’t have such a fighter and needs to replace it with “real” F-16s from Thailand and other countries. I’m also against “Japanese Su-27s”. But this proposal has some interesting points. But it’s a bit complicated…
The two options already presented are Indonesian Su-27 and Vietnamese Su-27. I don’t know about Vietnam, but Indonesia has a higher chance of being added to the game. Also, this is a bridge for Indonesia to be added to the game in the future. So I voted “Yes” for the first option and for the second option I chose option 2. At least it’s not a paper plane, it’s real. However, this is just my opinion and it’s up to Gaijin to decide what Indonesia will do.
There is actually two more variants of the F-15J that could be added to the game:
- F-15J MSIP {this is more like the C-MSIP than the A-MSIP already in the US tree}
- F-15J MTDP {this one is also known as the F-15J-Kai}
And if we want to include a very modern one:
- F-15JSI {Japan Super Interceptor upgrade began in 2022}
F-16AJ 2: Electric Boogaloo
I am indeed happy I can CAS with it, but just feels wrong lol Still not a fan of the F-16 AJ tbh. A nerfed up F-2 when F-16s came out would of been a better call to make and saying they intentionally nerfed it to match the current F-16s performance for a some balance and later they can give it its close performance how it does in Real Life so players won’t complain about incorrect this or incorrect that as much till after its buffed. Like the recent update would of been the right time to buff it. With a Su-27, I will also feel wrong, but its up to Gaijin to decide on this, their game and with many double standards… IDk, just me and my opinions.
Me neither, I hope the fictional F-16AJ gets swapped for a real F-16 block-20 MLU in use by Thailand
For the F-2 I’d rather wait a proper execution of its systems that rush in some random nerf with no basis in reality. The reason why we still aren’t seeing the F-2 is because of its AESA radar, its a lot more potent than current top tier radars and also functions quite differently, its different enough that they would probably want time to get it right (and I’d rather they pace themselves than forcefeed us more top tier stuff).
Japan will get enough F15’s, But I do think it would make a neat skin for the Su27/J11s
