I noticed Japan was being mentioned so taking advantage lol So far the needed vehicles Japan is still missing that would greatly help for decent GRB CAS and more open options for ARB. A sub tree would be great, but its hard for a lot of people, however there are still a handful amount of vehicles that Gaijin should focus on more than others imo. Modern jets are nice, modern tanks are nice too, but its going to far and leaving Japan behind on more critically needed vehicles.
Vehicles that should have been added years ago: Fletcher/Toyo FD-25 Defender
R2Y2 replacements if they plan to replace it.
-T1S1 Jet Prototype (7.3Br)
-T1K1 Jet Prototype (7.3Br) was inspired and based on T-33 under licensed production in Kawasaki
-T1F1 Jet Prototype (7.3Br)
-Fuji T-1A (British Engine) (8.0Br or 7.7)
-Fuji T-1B (Weaker Japanese Engine) (8.0Br or 7.7)
-Fuji T-1C (improved Japanese Engine) (8.0Br or 7.7)
-T-33A (7.7 Br )
-Armed trainer Vampire (7.7)
-MT-X (4 Prototypes built and capable to be armed) Still searching for more images (8.0Br)
-Kawasaki T-4 Trainer Fully capable of being armed in case if a war breaks out or other missions (8.3 Br)
-Possibly an armed T-2 CCV or XT-2 CCV (3rd Prototype used of the T-2 ) with improved flying performance at 9.7.
Image of a Japanese Sabre with an installed MA-3 rocket pods with Caps still on it along with the training bombs next to it probably. Not exactly sure what they are or which sabre was used on. Hoping someone can dig deeper on this as I cant find more info on it.
Also, Im sure that adding the AIM-9L to the flareless F-1 will make the jet more reasonable to play at 10.3 and AAM-3 to F-4EJ Kai at 11.7 as well to fight them top tier jets. Relying on the AIM-9P/L has become obsolete there.
Can the Devs give Japan nice working things already? Japan been here for years… F-15J was expected, Type 81 C was a 1000000% needed vehicle but after nearly 4 years of suffering. Type 99 is fun, Ty for that, the F-16 AJ im still not comfortable with it and was unexpected but at least I can CAS with it. Not a fan, but Ty! How long are we gonna play the waiting game?
How am I supposed to fight the stupid Chinese and Russian helicopters if I can’t detect them with my radar?
It would make sense to set it up so that it works again or to provide an adequate weapon, as it always works quite quickly on the other side.
Oh, I forgot, Germany has to wait longer for its own vehicles!
8.0 works too. If it comes at 8.3, then so be it. As long as its in game, most of us will be happy. Tired of using my R2Y2s with my 8.3 line up (STB-2, Type 74 C at 8.3) in GRB to CAS/fight Su-7B/BKl or F3H-2, F-100D etc…etc…with better CAS abilities, speed, weaponry.
It 's possible, but Naval has never been an easy one to predict when the addition of new vehicle classes will occur.
There is also the activation/addition of antiship missiles and their launch ships to consider as a possibility, since a number of both have appeared in the files or been leaked plus the ones who have that capability currently dormant ingame.
Additionally there are aircraft carriers likely incoming, seeing the developments in the files for them here and in WT Mobile. WTM 's introduction of them is likely not far off, now that they’ve completed their addition of battleships. They may even start as soon as next month, w/ our own coming at some point afterwards.
Also, there is evidence for a rework or update to naval fire-control-system 's to be coming, which is no less likely to be for the immediate next update than it could be for later ones.
Plus, w/ the assets for an overall change to Air mode objectives/targets
there soon, it 's possible some things may bleed through back into Naval too - one specific example being anti-radiation missiles, since those were first seen ingame on the USS Douglas during the devserver which introduced that ship.
This relates to the above, since ARM in naval would likely be paired w/ the addition of surface/surface radar or come at some point after that addition.
a fox 3 isnt just the aim 54, they are much more maneuverable and usable after the first engagement, its a really fast Decently maneuverable autonomous radar missile, it woulld 100% extremely usefull even in wvr engagements.
Honestly, T-90M and strv122b+ are the least of their concerns, those are the ones that were implemented the best with the least problems, gajin needs to first fix abrams, chinese tanks, german leopards, arietes and so on.
Strv122 and russian tanks realy arenr on the list for improvements
eh similar but slightly worse i would say, else their would be no reason for italy to get the 2a8 now, if the arietes would keep up with leopards, home developed variants normaly would be way better economicaly
in the game they would be slightly worse then 2a5 and 2a6 like i said , similar but not quite like them, like i stated there is reasons italy is switching to the leoaprds, because they are better then the arietes
