Not that it’s the end of the world, but if J/APQ-1 is good enough to function as MAWS, I think we should at least get this much:

Even if there is no automatic flare ejection function, we know that it is an active rearward warning radar system, so it should at least alert us to IR missiles in the rear.

Automatic countermeasure dispension is useless anyway

Hmmm… if implementation is not acceptable on the grounds that we don’t know if it has an automatic countermeasure ejection function, could we at least suggest that they implement an alarm function?
And if it’s a negative prediction like, ‘The aircraft is of a specification that has not been retrofitted with integrated electronic warfare equipment, so it has not been converted to an ALE-47 and will not have automatic flare dispersal. The only thing that will work is the IRM approaching alarm’ then I might accept that.
I think it would be quite useful just to reduce the number of people being taken by surprise out of the blue.
It would also be useful when J/ALQ-9 is implemented in the future.
Just want to share some thoughts about AAM-4 and situation around them. The new F-15J was named “F-15J Kai” at first. The problem is - this is not official name. That means, somebody was reading “third-party documents” and decided to name new plane according to them. It looks like some kind of hypocrisy. If Gaijin use “third-party documents” - it’s fine. If smb else use them to improve in-game weapon - “this is not a reliable source”. What do you think?

I 100% agree, I would even say that they are making the stuff up (I know that they have to do the guessing), and then even if somebody has some actual source they are like nah not valid
Just go look over here AAM-4 wrong range and weight - #8 by ikilledmybunny24
they want solid fuckin concrete numbers for a missile that is still used so most of the stuff is either
very hard to find, restricted, or classified. But they made the missile’s engine perform like a mentos in a coke bottle which obviously isn’t correct, I also wonder if the drag is bad too

F15JM has now been updated with a digital SMS in the cockpit.
Main difference - AAM-5 with HMD was added

and the one that is gonna be in-game is the newest one before JSI upgrade from my understanding, with the the said HMD and AAM-5 capability

Raised sensors mounted on the sides of the air intakes and black sensors on the outriggers. Possibly no antenna under the air intake.

It looks like we won’t need additional aircraft to use the AAM5, and if the AAM5B and AAM4B are added, we’ll have the largest variety of air-to-air missiles jet in gaijin history. :D

could be possible depending on gaijin, maybe they will split it in some stupid way
also speaking of sensors, if we have the exact same model as in that picture it lacks the ones on the air intakes model-wise
Wish they would add the IRST, pretty the F-15J MSIP they will add is capable of using it
Would make Japan’s F-15 even more unique which is nice
isn’t it on the “edge of reality” like the F-16AJ? I know that they’ve tested it but it never got into production
Kind of in line with the AIM120 being added to the loadout.
The F-16AJ never actually existed, there are pictures of F-15s that tested the IRST sensor.
Good enough for me
