Honestly its flight performance is just… disappointing. Even without bombs it’s not agile at all.
The performance of the P1Y1 is fine it’s just the defensive armament especially the front mounted one that are disappointing

Gotcha, i can see it now. Too bad it’s only 1 x 20 mm or 30 mm
I’m still surprised the AJ didn’t get GBU or targeting pod, such an obvious solution to the Japan CAS problem…

Exactly lmao, the double standard there it’s insane specially when it’s applied to the exact same object, i just hope they replace it with thai F16 i’m a future update

I’m sorry, I’m writing through a translator. The F-16 AJ in the game is “made the way it would most likely be adopted.” In the brochure you can see that there are a lot of differences from the game version.

that’s interesting, so it is missing quite a lot of weaponry then

yes, the snail was too lazy to make mechanics for 1 aircraft of a minor nation. well, the “balance” could not be the only f16 capable of simultaneously carrying both FOX1 and A2G

Yep, though I believe this may just be an excuse to justify their balancing decision to limit the F-16AJ.
I’m starting to believe Gaijin never wanted the F-16AJ in game, they just wanted an early F-16 to fill a gap and molded the AJ into that role.

This is accurate because back in the old forums when it was suggested, it ended up being denied. Which was why when we were hyped up for a Japanese Gen 4 back before the AJ, but after the F-16A, we thought they meant XF-2A because what else could it be.
What could have been…

Anyone with AAM-4 experience? just recently unlocked AAM-4s and wondering how to use them. should they be better for longer ranges?
Overall you really are just better off with AIM-120’s by and large at least in the current game state.

Yep, and they are gonna soon be deleting the entire old forums which is both silly and incredibly dumb. Cause who knows how many pictures no longer are easy to come by on the internet that remain on the forums, hell I’ve found a couple i’ve never seen thanks to the Old WT forums.
they miiiight be better for killing people trying to multipath cause of the bigger warhead but that’s wishful thinking.

AAM-4 turn better at closer ranges. I use both AMRAAM and AAM-4. Under 8 km I use AAM-4, above AMRAAM.
