Honestly if it was added when the AJ was, yeah it might’ve been a little overpowered, but not really more so then other stuff gaijin has added, and by now it’s just simply way past due. At most we should’ve had it around with the F-15As
Alr, tho tbh with how it’s going my guess is Gaijin will race to the top and once we’ll hit the late gen only then we’ll start to see more specific variants like this
I expect the F-15EX and maybe even some gen 5 to come before strike eagle variants
Oh no, gaijin adding a sub jet over a domestic jet. This is why I say to people don’t expect the expected when it comes to gaijin.
As other’s have already said they said a jet for Japan, they didn’t state if it was domestic, C&P or a home grown design. For all we know it could be a tested F-14 as a squadron, since gaijin did that for Sweden variety reasons. Personally I feel it could be a jet from any Asean nations to fill a role that the Thai jets missed out.
Tbh I don’t think F-15 variants are what’s most needed atm, imo what we truly need is stuff like AESA F-16, Mig-29KR or Mig-35, a Rafale F1…
And obviously the lower tier stuff missing like a tech tree intruder
The Swedish tested the T-80 and that was Russian regardless, they didn’t adopt it into their ranks but in game it’s here. So no just because they didn’t use it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t have a chance of coming.
Plus as already said previously War thunder isn’t a historical game
The new jet for Japan is just gonna be the return of the R2Y2. They wont even have to spend the resources to reskin an existing vehicle when they can just re-enable it. Finally Gaijin will be able to hit lows they’ve only dreamed of hitting.
Seriously, Quartas121, with all due respect — but why do you constantly talk down on what Japan or any other nation can’t or shouldn’t have, when you literally only ever play America ? It’s getting ridiculous. You’re acting like the gatekeeper for every other nation while never stepping outside your own comfort zone. Maybe try actually playing something other than the U.S. before making sweeping claims about what other nations are allowed to do.
