Japan has already been blessed with F-16s…. Now it seems that the ridiculous German craze of demanding to have everything is spreading among Japanese players as well. These are indecent suggestions. You already have several models of F-15s and in the future, the F-2. Be satisfied with what you have, as you are already full of paper tanks and planes while other nations have been waiting in vain for years for equipment regularly used by their armed forces.

that could have been an early F-2, a plane that Japan owned.
We’ll have two F-15s in the future (one currently) with the 2nd likely coming next update with Fox-3s
Paper tanks and planes that were/are needed to make Japan not as empty? Sure Japan could do without the Ho-Ri Production and the V2 and 3 variants of the R2Y2 because they now have plenty of options that those BRs and Ranks, but what about top tier? Thailand can offer another Gripen which is definitely nice but that’s about it unless you wanna add another F-5 for Rank 7.
Edit: To add, there are nations like the Royal Malaysian Air Force which have planes like the F/A-18 Hornet (it’s a D variant so idk how that factors in balance wise), Su-30 (Russia still has Su-27s so like the Hornet idk), and the BAE Hawk (this plane seems quite good and would give Japan a great CAS option).

I won’t lie, that’s pretty much half my main inspiration for making this, I know this would be controversial to suggest but I really do think the camo potential makes it all worthwhile.

Well, we are in the hypothetical of the hypothetical. ‘If my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a wheelbarrow.’……It could have been an F-2, but that’s not what happened.
Two F-15s are not insignificant, quite the opposite.
All the fanciful ideas about Japan and Germany need to be removed.
If there are gaps in the tech tree, it depends on the history of a nation; it’s a fact that needs to be accepted.
You’ve already been given the SEA countries, go through those.

One F-16AJ not enough? Straight no -1.

Even the camouflage in that picture has nothing to do with JASDF.

I am ok with copy and paste and also with this being in game but i think we should add the Mitsubishi F-2 first. Japan top tier air is so copy paste that you may as well play as china instead as at least low tier is not torture

Though shall not interpret the VF-111 (sundowners) camo as a rising sun.
-1 just for that

It wasn’t my intention to do that, I just couldn’t find any photos of anything related to the aircraft that was tested. Didn’t think it would be right to use fanart or photos of models either so I just went with that photo, sorry about that.

Of course you would, that’s your most played nation…

-1, how are suggestions like this even allowed? Does simply having a pilot fly something make that aircraft a legitimate add? It’s getting ridiculous now. F-16AJ should’ve been the exception and not the norm, hopefully once Thailand is added it gets replaced, alongside the other paper aircraft in the Japanese tech tree.
I have nothing against Japan, or getting aircraft, and I understand their situation, but this is desperate.

-1 Seriously?
Just they tested so they could get it after almost the whole Swedish Heli TT?
Then what? RoC Phantom because their pilot come to the back seat, or Philippines Merkava because they have the platform?
If this kind of vehicle is not very needed like F-16AJ because Japan lack of CAS, then why could they have it? For ruining the nation MM?

Honestly I’d rather have seen this than Gaijins iteration of the F-16AJ, or even any of the real F-16J/AJ proposals. This is mainly because unlike the F-16, the F-14J proposal was actually favored quite a bit, competing very well with the proposed F-15J.
Japan could very well have selected F-14s, but F-16s were very unlikely.
That being said, it’s admittedly quite a boring proposal. For the purpose of the game it’s essentially unmodified, unlike the F-16AJ that would be very unique if implenented correctly, and even in the weird state it is in now at least sets itself apart.

Thailand, potential sub-TTs and vehicles used by the RTAF are off-topic.
Please take it to appropriate Threads:

‘Japanese’ F-14A does not exists. Even by the most generous standards, the Japanese pilots were just on American Tomcat.
I might have understood if there was a photo of F-14A painted in JASDF scheme or dedicated F-14 airframe which provided for Japan, but otherwise I think this suggestion is void ab initio.

It reminds me when MD tried to sell F-15 to France, they paint a F-15 with French Air Force scheme, though France never tested it
