Kawasaki T-33A Wakataka

Anyways +1.

Anything Japan can get will go along way for them.

Already corrected. I didn’t notice before

This is a towed target, not a bomb.

So AN/ALQ-72 is ECM pod after all, not rocked pod?

The AN/ALQ-72, developed by the US Air Force during the Vietnam War, was an air-to-air active electronic attack pod to make electronic countermeasures to air or ground radar.

Imagine if we had that in game

Sure!

…but add it to USA first, then to Japan, China, Italy, Germany, France,…

Oh yeah, that true

Why in some kind of order and not to everyone at the same time similar to how we got potato launchers in last major?

Sure.

My point was more “why suggest it as Japanese Kawasaki T-33 and not US Lockheed T-33 in the first place”. ;-)

Because it will come to original tree anyway

Awesome suggestion and would bring a nice CAS aircraft for the Japanese around that br range.

Also could be the R2Y2 replacement Gaijin have been searching for.

+1 from me.

I was able to find exactly what it is

I would like to see Italian planes for Italy first (I’m not sure T-33 is needed for them at all), like similar Fiat G.82 and early Aermacchi MB-326 variants (B and E).
For Japan though I think it’s pretty necessary and more important than for US, considering they already have fully capable Shooting Stars.

Make a suggestion for a non JP one if you want to see one. As so far from your non-JP list, only the Chinese T-33 has been suggested.

I found an image of an Air Self-Defense Force T-33A actually carrying a machine gun.
It is interesting to note that some of the images show the wing tanks removed.

Twice as good as the T-1!

Likely due to license production. Those were far more numerous in JASDF service than the ones outright imported from Lockheed.

It is very nice photos!

website was one of the sources of this suggestion, most of the photos with that one come from
