Why haven’t AAM-1,XAAM-2, I-go-1a,Ke-Go,GCS-1, XGCS-2, ASM-1,ASM-1C,ASM-2,ASM-2B been added? Why doesn’t Japan still have its own incendiary bombs? Why ?

If I remember correctly, it can fire shots every 3 seconds or even faster

gaijin have already stated reloads are a balancing thing (for example almost every auto loading T series tank actual have a fast reload then they do irl)

And broken acceleration is also a matter of balance or upside-down armor and other Type 10 problems

There is definitely something going on behind the scenes here…

It’s such a weird decision considering China could get equal or even better options without adding the most NATO aligned ASEAN nations.
Even Chinese players think this is weird, so I wonder what is behind all this.

This is the same for msot tanks, video of a Challenger 2 reloading in 3 seconds, before dropping off to more like 5 seconds when the tank starts moving

idk what to tell you other tanks have problems as well, the challenger 2s were god awful and a word to the wise be carful what you wish for since we got our challengers “fixed” and it was almost always a nerf

Fastest recorded reload is 1.2s, but it can be assumed that is with the second shot already cycled to loading position and actual continuous fire couldn’t be as fast.

Since gaijin seems to want to put ASEAN in China of all places, I thought I’d make another subtree proposal for Japan that makes about as much logical sense and helps fill the CAS gaps. Introducing, the:

Egyptian Subtree for Japan, Air Edition

With 3 lines, providing fighters, attackers, and bombers, this tech tree is sure to fix Japan’s CAS issues.

(Other Thai aircraft can be added as premiums / event / in the 2nd line of the TT where the F-16AJ currently is).

Clearly, this is what Japan needs and makes sense for the tree.

Why does everything tend towards balance? Is the war even? Why does everyone have to have top-class vehicles if they are not suitable for this (sad Chelenger II and Ariete)?

The prospects of Mirage 2000Ei and proper F-16A-20 are still in the abyss and now I’m being told to look forward instead to Singaporean F-16C?

I am at a loss for words.

I perfectly understand the problems of the British in War Thunder, but now I complain about the weakening of Japan. Chelenger II is a beautiful tank, and Gajin hates it, just like the French, Japanese, Israeli and Italians. Gajin likes dollars and rubles

Yes I mean the others made somewhat sense and was a guarantee to be in there but we clearly saw with the list posted which is a blessing for us but a damnation for gaijin.

But yea before that visit we clearly seen all three were meant for Japan

Makes about as much sense as ASEAN to China…

If they do that anything goes, and it’s not like there even is better options left.

I mean yeah they were “persuaded” to switch those nations to china by someone

I’d guess there might have been “financial incentive”

Would make sense if this was BvvD personally since he was the one who went there.
I bet the interviewees actually saw the plan and got “annoyed” Japan is getting a sub tree before China does.

This is my best theory as well.

I wouldn’t mind if a Japanese subtree was delayed to work on and release a more reasonable Chinese one first, but literally stealing another nations subtree is just foul

And so a bunch of Americans and Russians will probably come here soon and say that their countries are weak (They are OP) and will complain about me and others. Americans, Russians and partly Germany and Sweden do not need reinforcement for a long time, others do because they are between a rock and a hard place.

Agree as I listed like 10 nations china could get to play with, other than Thailand and Malaysia who has Japan got
