if the yak141 can get IRST it never had, why cant the F-15J get the IRST it HAD

Kikka is an unfinished prototype, F-15J is a production and service aircraft.
Thus that is a false equivalence fallacy.

where did the kikka get into this equasion? also if memory serves me right 1 was fully produced

False equivalence fallacy

also elaborate

did you have a stroke or are you answering to someone’s else reply

You brought up Kikka by bringing up Yak-141 which is the same exact standard and same exact situation.
The elaboration was already posted:

Unfinished prototypes have different standards to finished prototypes and production vehicles.

So what you’re saying aircraft that never existed should get more shit because they never existed

exactly what I wanted to say

like why should something half fictional have access to even more fictional shit while the real thing gets ignored

The Kikka and Yak-141 existed and flew. They just weren’t finished prototypes, and they don’t get more than production aircraft, they get the bare minimum they were expected to get if put into service.

@Crusher_28 Reality isn’t fiction.

sorry forgot to add “fictional”, so what, its still a prototype, where are the documents about its IRST then

In the Russian language and in PDF form.
Same for the Kikka’s 30mms but in the Japanese language and in PDF form.

IRST also doesn’t tangibly improve combat effectiveness in War Thunder that would impact BR due to the nature of War Thunder spawning and objective knowledge.

fair enough but still, if there are documents about the F15J then what’s the problem here?

My only criticism was in relation to comparing unfinished prototypes to service vehicles, nothing more.

If you want my take on IRST pod for F-15J:

alright, discussion closed

If you want a F-15J with IRST there also is a rest variant where it was mounted (but this is only on one prototype)

I’ve a Suggestion for it pending. Overall capability wise, this specific F-15J(M) (its a Type I with IRST) is inbetween F-15J and F-15J(M) (Type II) we’ve in-game

That means ARH capability but no HMD?

Yep. Also no AAM-5 if we want to keep it at reasonable BR in future. It was already technically possible to carry and use it, but only became operational with MTDP Type II and some Pre-MSIP F-15J.
