No, -1

Seeing as either Gaijin or Smin stated that other SEA Nation aircraft are now fair-game as additions for Japan, we really don’t need this.
Had Gaijin denied any sort of sub trees or sub nation vehicles for Japan, then maybe I could justify it. But seeing as that’s not the case, hard no from me

Sure why not I’ll give it a +1 but only as a squadron or event vehicle

I rarely disagree with some vehicles being added, especially for minor countries, but this is pulling the wires a little too much. While interesting (and technically meeting addition requirements), I’d have to say no.

Has more historical reason to be here than F-16AJ, but I don’t think it’s needed if Japan gets one or maybe even multiple SEA country subtrees.
It’s also basically an unmodified F-14A, so it’s not really an interesting addition like the F-16AJ could’ve been if it was implemented correctly.
Maybe as it could work as a rare event vehicle, being a “unique” airframe for the tree that might be interesting to buy/unlock, that wouldn’t really take away from the tree.
So +1, but a reluctant one heavily influenced by my personal bias of wanting to have an F-14 in F-2 camo.

As much as I love the F-14, I do not see its addition to Japan necessary at all. To me, this is stretching historical accuracy a bit too far and just dilutes the tree rather than add to it.

Same. Since additional contents or subtrees are confirmed there isnt a need.

-1 no just no, why even suggest this unless it is as a joke

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.
