There isn’t any source that it can track tanks but also isn’t source that it can’t so it is controversial issue

Since when does Gaijin care about sources?
given we do have some missiles that is either paper or can do things it shouldnt be able to do (e.g. penguin and kh38mt’s (the punching bag lmao))
ig GCS-1 could get the same treatment having some ahistorical leanway
Gotta wait till at least 2028 for that, the ink has barely dried on the contract lmao.
would the swedish one be a copy paste of the german one?
2029 *
What? I have no idea what you mean
My bad, meant to say “at least 2028”, as Thailand are probably going to get 1 or 2 earlier than the rest for acceptance trials, which is the earliest stage they can come to wt
Wild card: Singaporean F-15E

No.
Wouldn’t the easiest way of getting JPN a 14.0 just to give to F-15JM AAM4B’s and call it a day

pretty much
I don’t know much about Japanese jets or missiles but from a quick Google search the 4B doesn’t seem like anything over the top compared to other missiles we already have
its a aam4 with an aesa seeker (which’ll make it harder to notch(?)) and slight improvements over the base aam4 if i remember correctly
Same could be said about the F-2. Giving it AAM-4B would bump it to 14.0 also.
I thought it had a vastly improved range and a two-stage motor, or something like that.
@WreckingAres283 can probably tell you more about it than most other people on the Fourm.

GCS-2 is GPS guided.
I really wish we got it instead of the 2000lb JDAM-ERs. Like, I know its basically the exact same thing, maybe a little more accurate, but it would be nice to have atleast prototype JP bombs instead of foreign bombs japan never even bought.
Even easier then that, honestly even just buffing AAM-3s might push the J(M) to 14.0, as it is already the best 13.7.

Might push up the 13.0 planes too, imo making a quasi r-73 with seekers shut off would instantly become the best overall it missile in the game (like the aam4 is already). Idk if bank to turn will enable the aam4 to be able to turn at super low speed like thrust vectoring would, but I think it would be kinda ridiculous to expect 12.0 planes to do anything against it
What they should do is give an airframe a base BR and then have the weapons you matchmake with provide an additional BR modifier so they can ungimp most FOX3’s

It doesn’t have that super low speed turning like R-73s do, but at higher speeds (like anything past 500kph) it can honestly match or beat an R-73 in offboresight, atleast from my tests approximating it.
IMO though yeah, it shouldn’t get better IRCCM right now, maybe later, but in the current state of the game all it could reasonably be expected to get is it’s off boresight performance.
AESA seeker and improved guidance logic. The motor is the same.
