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.

J-11BG: PL-17
F/A-18E: AGM-174
Su-30SM2: R-37M
Typhoon Tranche 3: Meteor
Rafale F4: Meteor

I believe we will see super long range air to air missiles soon.

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

Doesn’t thailand has gripen e ? why asking to get rafale if so.

doomed to fizzle out i guess

For long range Fox 3s, Japan basically has no options for them

Unless they get a Brazilian subtree???

What is the problem with it, i’m not sure to understand, and anyway gaijin has no problem giving weaponry even if the country never bought the weapon, so japaneese f35 will most likely get whatever usa one get minus cas if it was not used.

whats the justification for that one?
