Correct. GR.4A was just the GR.4 upgrade applied to GR.1A airframes
The TIRRS recce equipment wasn’t used much once the RAPTOR pod was in service, and was completely retired by the time Litening III came along.

Hull Destruction?

If only we could get that as an effect for HESH

Maybe we’ll get one final version with ASRAAMs, Storm Shadows, and ALARMs.

There is nothing left to follow the GR.4 anyway so I don’t see why we wouldn’t get a GR.4 Late

Besides mines and torps,.I’m pretty sure it was mentioned on the Dev stream

Yeah, id assume its that compartment collatoral thing where if you spam rounds into it the damage began to spread. Id call it the tarkov strat lol.

F/A-18E: AGM-174

Wouldn’t the PL-15 be perfectly acceptable here

Japan doesn’t get anything you might be right

But the thing is pl-17/174/37 are like for high value air targets like tankers, AWACS and bombers how would they fair against other fighters or fit in this game ?

Probably with the inclusion of awacs and tankers, PL-17 was mentioned as a weapon option for the J-11B in the files but no data to it, so it makes me think they plan the inclusion of these weapons.

Unless they add any actual +14.0 air superiority fighter (the F-2 isn’t) from ASEAN countries like F-15SG, Rafale C F.4 or Su-30MKM, Japan is probably the only nation in-game without such a missile option.

There is always the option to add unfinished 5th gens Japan has developed before joining GCAP, but these could be too controversal again I think.

AIM-120D are close enough.

and none of those jets are true air superiority fighters. the F-15SG and Su-30MKM dont have any better missile options (unless MKM gets chinese missiles), and the rafale only if the operator has meteors.

best bet is to hope japan buys AIM-260 in the future

Yeah, there really is nothing for Japan, maybe if Indonesia buys Meteors for the Rafales it’s expecting, but other than that there is whatever they might be developing domestically and the AIM-260, both of which are probably years away for Japan
