Does Japan use JDAM
Yes but there is no capable platform in game yet; F-15J(M) is unclear.
Unfortunately in regards to the AAM-4, it appears to still just be a worse AIM-120A/B in most every regard and really has no viable purpose over the latter in any engagement. The color coding should honestly be flipped around because there is no situation that the AAM-4 will do better in compared to the AIM-120A/B and it’s easier to have 6 of one missile type than splitting it 4/2 for your ARH’s

The bright side is the CGS-1 bombs were passed again for review and may be added onto existing weapon’s platforms

Hopefully its fully functional and give it the benefit of the doubt that It can destroy/target ground units and not just landships.

You can make custom skins for weapons now. Here is for FAB-5000.

You can also change colour of missiles. Can’t wait for someone to make Japanese missiles blue.

Blue missiles are inert missiles

I mean I wouldn’t really call it much of a nerf when they got an a near tripling in explosive amount for a touch less weight, got overpressure for open top tanks, and didn’t lose anything other than a raw HE round-

oh true, but I didn’t like the removal of the HE round tbh
That’s fair, though I don’t necessarily see it as a nerf either because, it got more explosive mass and now has frags or an increased fire change with the extra boom boom powder yet

I’m genuinely surprised that nobody made an suggestion on other Ginga variants such as the P1Y1c (or P1Y1 mod.11 Hei) shown below with a forward firing fixed 20mm and (possibly) twin 13.2mm rear turret
P1Y1b (P1Y1 mod.11 Otsu) with the 13.2mm turret
P1Y2-S is another potential variant that can be added, armed with a Oblique firing cannon and a forward firing one (not sure if it’s just used the 20mm, 30mm’s or both), unsure if it retains it’s bombing capabilities as well
Interestingly enough one of the P1Y’s the US captured is of the P1Y2-S variant

Honestly its flight performance is just… disappointing. Even without bombs it’s not agile at all.
I think it’s pretty maneuverable for a twin-engined bomber

Were the forward firing guns offensive or still turrets?

No
you can see in the pics with the forward firing gun that they are fixed in under the glass canopy. If it was the turret the 20mm would be mounted around the center of the glass canopy
