Japan’s F-4EJ Kai was the first vehicle in the game to ever test JDAM’s (to my knowledge), but now that they are added to the game, not a single Japanese vehicle gets any.
the guided air-to-ground arsenal for the Japanese tree consists of only 2 vehicles and 1 weapon system!! (not counting the 2.3 event vehicle)

various images of GCS/JDAM on Japanese vehicles already in the game:
F-4 EJ Kai GCS-2
F-1 GCS-1 500lb
F-4EJ Kai GCS-1 750lb
F-4EJ Kai GCS-1 500lb
F-4EJ Kai aam-3/JDAM
JDAM is already here, GCS has been in the files a while, c’mon gaijin.

Need I remind that the F-4EJ Kai was going to have JDAM when it was first being added before someone pointed out the simple fact that the JDAM that was shown on the F-4EJ Kai was only for display and that it is incapable of using JDAM, so unless you got something new to say otherwise you aren’t going to get any further than it did back then for the JDAM.

Tbf you’re not missing out on much. They’re really only helpful for SPAA and that’s it. Not to mention how they’re easily countered by the age of tactic of “moving” lmao
I don’t care what they add, I just want something cool for cas man.
Great, then why did we get a paper proposal F-16 instead of the XF-2A and now a Thai F-16 instead of an early production F-2A, as both would get JDAMs and a targeting pod to use them with?

JDAM was only for display. The TER-9A it is mounted on isn’t wired for JDAM, which is why the only MER that is used with the JDAM by Japan is the BRU-57A.
Since the JDAM is just based on the Mk. 82 bomb it can be mounted for display, it can still be mounted on the TER, but the guidance couldn’t be used.
That being said, I really want the GCS series in game for all aircraft that carried them.

oh btw, if add this JDAM will we get the aim sight as well? or we will end up like F-15C JDAM with only using the CCRP?
