I can see that, ignoring whatever top-tier junk they get just to throw a hissy fit because some other nation got a Sherman

or even worse the vehicle in question being domestic of someone else, that they have nothing to do with but think they still deserve.

Wait so is the A6M5a model the Ko ?

4024

If they buff the aam3 give it better turn radius and a its actual speed (mach 3.5) it would be pretty solid plane in a dogfight plus the aam 4 is already good in off boresight shots

4025

2 or 3 would be a lot for them

4026

If they fix AAM-4 it could be even better, but also very different

It would be less agile since it’s limited to 25G to conserve energy and the missile seeker has slightly less range. But it would also be a lot faster and retain datalink to the aircraft until the end using combined missile seeker and datalink inputs. All of this is reported too, so maybe we’ll see it fixed with the F-2.

Permanent AESA radar supported guidance on a missile this fast would be really powerful. Imagine having to notch the missile and the radar at the same time while it’s moving closer at Mach 4+. And all of that with AESA that I’m not sure RWRs would even pick up, meaning you’ll potentially have only the last 15km to react in the first place.

O don’t get it too. Idk why

4028

Isnt that most Fox-3s and its just Gaijin who decided none of them can do that for balancing reasons?

Not sure about others, but AAM-4 (specifically through J/ARG-1) would use the combined data from the missile seeker and aircraft radar to get a more accurate predicted path for the missile. I personally haven’t seen that mentioned for other missiles, but I could be wrong.

But I have seen for others that datalink input should be regained if the missile seeker loses track (essentially having both, but always using one with higher priority)

4030

That would make more sense than it just stop working like it does now once the missile gets too close to the target.

AFAIK the A6M5a is just the A6M5 Kō, so it should just be the old pacific campaign Zero they removed from purchase.

Mascots from the Japanese Air Force
Have to play ground vehicles to get em

When did the Japanese Air Force get tanks?

4033

I need that thing to return

4034

The A6M5 Ko currently is available for purchase (on PC at least)

4035

Are there any plans for the su27/27sm to get foldered in the future ? like the f16a/Adf with the f16c, in the event of the addition of the su30sm.
