If only there was a subtree that it could receive and get actually useful CAS…oh I guess it’s coming soon?

oh trust me i know, but i am also very aware that either this subtree will be the best thing to happen to the japanese tree as a whole, or it will do nothing to salve japans problem of the lack of precision CAS that isn’t TV based
Thai Gripen has the same ability to use the same weaponry as other Gripens, so it shouldn’t matter too much.
Pray it gets AIM-120 not R-Darter.
Why would the Thai gripen get the r-darter?
Thai never used R-Darters anyway, so it should be AMRAAMs regardless.

i have been hoping and praying for the B.Kh20 (thailand designation for their gripen) because man it would help out japan heaps, but i dont think we will get it, for now, unless some new news comes out about what to expect from the royal thai air tree.
Absolutely, moving it down would undo the work the last decompression did. Hoping in the next Major patch we see more decompression and addition of vehicles with differing ground and air BRs. (A2D-1 down to 6.3-6.7 in ARB please?)
I was wondering around the imperial war museum and buying archaeology books today. Any news or new leaks?
Thailand does have Derby, which is what the R-Darter is, a local Derby. Possibly might have Derby and AMRAAM (like for example on the Israeli F-16C)

From what I know Thailand has the derby for the F-5E TCU/F-5TH super Tigris, don’t know if it’s on the B.Kh20 gripen… Wish I could check

Its the VT-4A1 with a Thai user Skin, which Thailand doesn’t operate.
Derby is most likely just for use on F-5TH, their Gripen are all MS.20 standards. However, their F-16A (e)MLU and T-50TH would be a lot better by all means, and most notably unique unlike “another” C&P Gripen C.

Probably amraams, derbys are a risk to my mental health

I just use Derby’s as unflarable IR missiles for up and close nonsense
Why tho? The A2D-1 is quite the potent fighter when it isn’t being weighed down by bombs
As someone who prefers the AMRAAM I would be a giddy son-of-a-gun to have a AMRAAM gripen to go along with my AAM-4 F-15J(M)
Might be just me now days, but I just can’t get it to B&Z like it used to, 8.0 jets have been killer.
(Edit: just flew it, 2 kills, skill issue on my end)
Though I will admit I am hoping for the F5ThHor the BK.h19 cause F-5 with derby be funni, jokes aside though I wish we could get any clue of Japan getting a CAS upgrade, my only real question here is if Japan will get a CAS aircraft to perform with top tier, as it’s hard to play top tier Japan with so much pressure overhead even with the type 81
It works but id prefer amraams 9/10 times. Especially for air battles.
