I hope Gaijin adds the naval aviation variant of the J-11B instead of J-15.

Between the Zhuk radar and higher thrust it would definitely be faaar better than the Su-27SM.
Yup can’t fire all of them together, but R-77s probably wouldn’t be too effective either in that play style… although right now they are either guided by a garbage radar that updates every 7 seconds at best or are being fired at low speed by a plane with garbage flight performance, that’s probably playing a big part on the r-77 performance.

Pretty much, though Yukari got it wrong sometimes like earlier in the year mistaking something for an F-2.
Also, unsure why people are worried about the AIM-120C-5. Like, the AAM-4 is supposed to be equivalent/better than it and look how nerfed it is. Until we see the stats, it’s just a nothingburger.

R-77s honestly could be great they just have horrible platforms and too much drag

I think that there existed a chart comparing the effective range of ARH missiles and it included 120C. It’s not too much of an increase from current A/B from what I remember.
PL-12 is very much in the same boat as AAM-4, though instead of an outright unhistorical nerf like AAM-4 Gaijin just used the stats of export SD-10 which has a less powerful motor compared to actual PL-12.

It was meant for the F-20 from my understanding
Something like that.
The AIM-9X has a lot of it’s performance classifed too. I guess it is also fake.
According to the Air Force Secretary it is.
Lots actually known about the 9X, terrible comparison.
Lots is actually known about the 260, just not by people here LMAO
Tell me it’s range and speed.
No, nothing is known about it.
this discussion is about to be closed pretty fast lmaoo

In light of the leak regarding the F-5s, I’m also hoping we can get the F-5TH as well. It can get Derby missiles, IRIS-T, AIM-9Ls, and AGM-65B. Japan sorely needs some revitalization, especially for CAS as well.
Gaijin should understand that there are ways to add this sort of infusion to Japan without having to compromise on quality. We all understand that more modern additions will be variants of existing aircraft, but that doesn’t mean they have to be just the same model with different armaments for BR purposes.
The JP/ASEAN research group released a subtree suggestion which I’m really hoping Gaijin takes note of

the F-5TH carry the Python-4 and 5 too and also for ground the Rafael Litening III and 4 israeli Lizard laser guided bombs.

IRIS-T and Python 5 would be too much for now, but I think Python 4 is perfectly fine to add now
