And we also have lots of prototypes as well!
Why not?
People have also wanted a revenge class battleship for years, yet russia ends up with it, if the f-2 not coming isnt fair for you then you should know exactly how that makes others feel

Different situations, pal.
I mean yes and no. The EFT and Rafale were overdue, but it’s clear as day the Su-30SM should’ve been released at the same time, and it seems pretty clear that it’s more than likely not here because they’ll be piloting the TVC feature for the first time ever in game.
Like someone else said, the SPAMRAAM meta has become more prevalent since release, and a disruption to it was needed. Simply put, as cool as EFT and Rafale are, they weren’t going to be that hard to add beyond the modelling, so I think they really just put them in now due in part to the SPAMRAAM problem.
That being said, and it’s easy to say this because I’m not a Japan main, but having some viable CAS with a Gripen at the end of the tree seems like a fun addition, and I wouldn’t be upset personally if I mained Japan because of it.

The XF-2A could have been added already. It would be 13.0 with current standards.
The Late variants could also be added with the AAM-4B because its a AIM-120B variant.
The AAM-5 can be added in later patches.

F-2 Like the Tornado will arrive too late, unfortunately Gaijin cannot add every vehicle they need to prioritise. I was surprised to see the Euro Canards, we all expected the F/A-18

AAM-4B has an AESA radar so that would be way to OP
We don’t even know the F-2 is being modeled yet it’s up to gaijin to add it, ya’all just gonna cope with Thailand for now
We know that Su-30SM, Su-27SM, and Su-34 could all carry R-73M, R-74, and R-77-1 amongst other weapons, and I doubt any of them will be added with the Su-30SM in whatever patch it comes in next year.
Why can’t they do the same with the F-2? Give it the AAM-3 and the AAM-4 and press the pause button on anything else for now.
Japan mains can’t have to much fun

True!
hmm… next patch IMHO is better. Mostly because they have a SU-34 and SU-33 now.
True… its a real problem.
Yeah, Thailand was needed!
The only sad part is that we don’t get the unique stuff. The Thai sub-TT should have been added this summer (according to leaks) yet got postponed.
No idea why it got postponed since its just C&P?
The only sad part is, is that Japan has only received 4 domestic planes in over 5 years now, with them being the F-1, T-2, F-16AJ and A6M5 HEI.
While just receiving 9 planes total in the last 5 years.

For a nation with such a mediocre playerbase - the perfect oppertunity to test it.
Just like how spikes were tested in Italy, with the Freccia.
AAM-4 is enough for now. IRL its like AIM-120C-5 equivalent but ofc the stats are butchered but it ain’t too bad.
It really makes Japan mains some of the best in the community.
Great teammates when playing with them. Formidable opponents when playing against them. Plus both China and Russia get medals for defeating Japanese vehicles, so the more stuff that gets added to the game that triggers those rewards, and gets more people playing Japan the better.
Be grateful that you haven’t had your mind melted by muh SPAMRAAM. When the meta shifts again, there’s gonna be a ton of Eagle drivers not having a good time because they forgot how to play the game.
Oh noo looks like people are too unhappy with this update, I think gaijin should cancels it and make us wait for 3 more months.
Edit : Extreme sarcasm does not mean it should be brought under brought under mods attention if it’s clean
I’m not coping with it because I’ve already researched the AJ so I can just pretend it doesn’t exist :^)
Unless the new planes lock me out of rank 8, which would be really inconvenient as I did spent real money to unlock rank 8 the first time…
Most Japanese stats are butchered.
When reporting it, they just get closed with “no bug” eventhough you have clear proof (according to some people who have posted bugs on the https://community.gaijin.net).
So there is no hope.

Not really. Most of Britain’s modern and most capable Battleships (Renown, Barham) have been time locked behind events. The only very capable ship until this patch has been Hood. R Class has been overdue since… well… Scharnhorst was added probably. Almost 3 years ago.

They’re not the only ones who suffer that. Not that it makes it at all justifiable or right.
