+1, would be a great addition to Japan, as well as bringing probably the best Phantom to the game

Given that the ASM-2 is IR based, it could easily be added to the game as a Japanese Kh-38 equivalent. With MAWS, XAAM-4, AAM-3, GCS-1, & ASM-2, this plane would be excellent in GRB, providing some much needed longer range & indigenous CAS + CAP

+1 but, from its historical back ground, it should be event or premium.
Would be great multirole for JASDF(in game), while JASDF(in game) have only unguided and Mavericks
Small update regarding XAAM-4; Thanks to recent research, we have reason to believe that the XAAM-4 was limited to 20G maximum load, which was later increased to 25G in (pre-) production.
This means that even if the AAM-4 will be fixed (reports) and thus probably harder to balance in relation to this Aircraft, the XAAM-4 will still be more likely to correspond to a currently estimated BR of ~13.0.

not bad but i think after some other jets cuz japan already have a f-4ej
Considering the only major jets left are the F-2 (multiple variants), F-35, and multiple F-15Js, having a 3rd, “super” phantom with the best possible ordinance and systems to round off the tech tree and help provide CAS/CAP for the tree sounds like a good idea to me.

Speaking of CAS, I wonder if the JAQ-1 could be used as a pseudo targeting pod for the EJ Kai ADTW (considering the ordinance does not need a laser designator), as it would be nice to have a more proper TGP display. This would of course sacrifice some ordinance but give you an option for longer range targeting. It also could be useful for IFF / A2A targeting in sim.

Just give it AAM-4 and it would be like ICE
It some joke or something, Super Kai with 130+ votes can’t get “passed” but F4U “Death Whistle” with 50+ get
ASM-2 can’t translate image or show the capture point on HUD so I am doubt that it will be added in game. Only way to use it is aim with radar
Tbh, a suggestion being passed doesn’t mean a lot, aside from being a dopamine rush for the suggestion creator

Eh, to be fair, these are non-comparable. F4U Corsair’s “Death Whistle” was for graphical & sound enhancements. Not a lot of suggestions are posted in the graphical & sound section, and not a lot of forum users are visiting and voting there. The aircraft suggestion section is pretty popular and highly visited. The senior suggestion moderators have over 1,000 suggestions of aircraft to selectively decide what goes to Passed for Consideration, whereas the Death Whistle was one of fewer suggestions for the Graphical & Sound. It’s why the Death Whistle suggestion relatively quickly got passed.
But I understand your sentiment.

This is great! Definitely should come with the experimental ARH missiles. +1

It feels a bit sad to me that players of the Japanese TT won’t have a lot more in terms of domestic stuff to look forward to.
On that note, I support this addition 125.971%, so +1 from me

It’ll be DoA without Agile Eagle, but sure 👍
Sad that knowing Gaijin they would never add this
Never say never ;)
