if only aim-9M had historical range
It’s weirdly inconsistent…
For example on the F-15J(M) we get AIM-9M because it could carry them, even if Japan never had any and they’re outclassed by the AAM-3, but no GBU-8 despite it having the capability and there not being an equivalent.
So really it’s just whatever Gaijin wants it to be

Yeah he can probably tell us more lol
Yep. Or the F4J(UK) not getting Napalm despite F-4J (US) having napalm. They are even ex-USN aircraft

Blame Japan for not integrating BOL
they should remove it in my opinion to many cringe base bombers only allow it Unlock in ground RB/AB/SB should remove bombs from fighters in air too
Japan never had BOL, but if these are compatible with LAU-128 (F-15J(M) has these) then its theoretical possible to mount these.

If they add it to a bunch of other aircraft like the F-15E then the difference in performance would be maintained, so it could stay 13.7
Ah good to know, would be fun to see tbh
Yeah, needs a rework. But if its here to stay then they should at least be fair about it.
Not a single British TT aircraft has Napalm. Only 2 premiums have napalm and several TT (bucs) and Premium aircraft (Sea Vixen) have outstanding reports to get it and then their own rules on weapons should also mean another 3 could get it (phantoms)

i think basically every plane should get BOL or a increase in flares as minimum of 240 for a top tier as flares are needed same with chaff
Blame Gaijin for making a horribly inconsistent system where both of these takes are sometimes used

Even more ahistorical changes won’t end good, this is the war thunder community after all my guy
If you have F-15C with 240 CMs + 320 LCM at 13.7 vs F-15J(M) at 13.7 with 240 CMs. it would be kinda unfair. The F-15Cs are already dangerous close to being 14.0 anyway. probably should already be there when you compare them to stuff like the Gripens
Gripen with over 700 LCM?
I expect them to go to 14.0 with the next top tier decompressions (we hopefully get soon, its needed)
