The F-16AJ was never about having a top tier fighter. It was about having at least some kind of A2G missile in the tech tree and the F-15J doesn’t fix that. Ironically the F-15J is compatible with GBU-8s and I proved as much in a bug report, but it got denied because Japan didn’t buy them going against Smins words in this thread.

Idk as I said earlier I just joined like 30 minutes ago or so
It’s confirmed they won’t be getting a 6th line

@IMSOVOCAL also there this too
So it look like they are just gonna put all the Thai aircraft after the R2Y2 line, which make sense as when the R2Y2 get removed the Japanese end of the line will be at 3.7. So that means any early to mid war Thai prop can go in here no problem.

How about AGM65B? like F4F, each point can only take 1 agm65
Gaijin will decide based off TWO main factors
- If the vehicle is proven to be capable of using it
- If the vehicle ever did use it
and they will cherry pick at their discretion what gets what based off those 2 things.
Ah, right. I was thinking of the F-4J. Regardless, however, premium.
The Su-25SM3 is indeed tier 8, actually.
I really hope that it all being in a single line opens up the opportunity for other ASEAN nations to get their own lines after the Ki-83 in the future. It sucks if they squander all this potential on a single low effort Thai line.

tbh I dont think ASEAN should go to anyone. Because it’s just too many powerful aircraft for ONE nation to have
You have the Rafale, Gripen E, F-15E, F/A-18, Su-30, and F-16s all in the same tree
C, not E.
You say that like Britain wont have all 3 Eurocanards already

I don’t think Japan needs all of ASEAN but it can definitely get some of them, they can probably find a decent split between Japan and China, and possibly even the United Korea Tree (if that happens). Having all of it would bloat a single tech tree way too much imo.
Not yet at least Thailand is supposedly in the process of procuring E’s

Indian pantsir as well, when its talks end
Thailand operate both (will do soon)
Except in the case of the ROCAF F-5A which never bought and couldn’t even use Bullpups.
Then they accept a bug report and do literally nothing about it for over a year. Gaijin has 0 consistency with anything.
Not yet.
