Paper Vehicles and the Potential Addition of "What If" Vehicles

this whole thread is about blue print vehicles suggestions

yeah a wooden mock up the flak panzer 341 was a wooden mock up aswell and they removed it

There’s nothing else to put there for now. Germany has far more vehicles in that BR range, though the Ho-Ris will eventually be removed.

Yeah, and I’m here to eat popcorn and respond. Cause some of these ideas will never leave the drawing board.

Ho 229 was never armed and the F-16AJ is a “What If” Japan actually bought those F-16s I guess. I would prefer that we keep the “fake” vehicles to a minimum in game.

Don’t think so. Gaijin never said anything about their removal and there’s a lot of evidence to prove they had existed in different stages of production.

I like how you put 2 quotation marks around the word fake. Since they’re really not fake. Just not completed vehicles.

The f16 AJ isnt a real plane japan should have gotten at most a prototype f16 as the real f16 aj isnt real japan had just thought the f16 was interesting and so they painted the proto yf16 pretty colors for japan to test fly which THEY NEVER DID and the problem is the F16AJ is the best f16 because its gets the Manuveribility of F16A with the payload of bombs too with the missiles and radar of the F16A ADF which only got added because gajin in there infinite wisdom thinks this is how they would have bought them WHICH THEY NEVER DID

but ya know japan suffers so we gotta give them stuff they dont have yippie

the HoRI’s dont need to be removed because at least there is documentantion backing them up germany has massive gaps in there SPAA tree because of it they keep filling them with less and less real vehicles

I put “fake” in quotations because there is a scale for fake vehicles. 229 might as well be real and the F-16 is very low on the “fake” scale for me. I don’t mind them. I was just pointing out that we have a lot of what OP wants in game.

Unfinished prototypes should be added in their finished form if all parts were made but were never put together for some reason other than technical one. I am fine with 229 being in the game. I am fine with the Yak-141 being in the game. However stuff that was only on napkins shouldn’t. At least that’s what I think.

One of them had a full scale mock up you could also say they’re uncompleted prototypes.

There were half built Ho-Ris, but they were nothing like what we have right now. They were standard Chi-Ri hulls with a casemate in the middle.

It’s a repainted F-16 block 10. It’s a real plane, just not one japan ever had. And again, that’s entirely on gaijin as we should have had an XF-2A instead.

Yes, it’s a whole… 200kg lighter than the block 15. Or about 2%. That is too small to notice in a random match.

See above.

it still gets cas abillitys which it shouldnt which is rather annoying as the only block 10s that get cas trade cas for radar missiles but japan gets none of that they can have aim7s and mavericks on there planes which they should not

f16a is the best dogfighter in top tier which japan gets but they get missiles too which it shouldnt it should be either one or the other

i find it rather unbalance japan and sometimes not as often russia are the only ones that get blue print vehicles

japan had a big hole in its tech tree. i think that justified it for gaijin.

I don’t see the problem with a couple of shitty mavericks without a targeting pod. They’re almost unusable.

You can’t because they take up the same slot.

Not with the new additions it isn’t.

Well the F-16AJ brochure had Sparrows and much more CAS equipment, so it’s actually much less than what it should be.

She was restored after a while. So it’s not a “might as well” it’s a case of here is real. Just missing the guns, but the mounts still exist inside somewhere.

Thats what the “What if” means, it’s essentially a vehicle that had been built, potentially tested, but never saw adoption or service. It wouldn’t be adding little Timmy’s 2nd grade drawing for veteran’s day but rather unfinished (or really un-produced) prototypes. I think that there would have to be a very tight restriction set with the vehicles but nevertheless it makes the game better in my opinion. It’s a game built on realism but above all its a simulation game, so long as Gaijin doesn’t add Ivan’s Failed Project Proposal and toss an Armata with a railgun strapped to the top of it then all is well.
