Summary of arguments and rebuttals

 

Picture of the JDAM on the F-4EJ Kai?
it is just for display.

 

Is the ADTW's F-4EJ's new antenna is GPS antenna?
It's been installed since 1988, so that is not a GPS antenna.

 

A picture of the F-4EJ Kai with the XGCS-2?
Just performing aerodynamics and separation tests with dummy bomb, not real bomb.

 

F-4EJ Kai's GCS-1?
No ground attack ability due to seeker's performance

 

F-4EJ Kai's AGM-62 or AGM-65?
When producing the F-4EJ, all equipment was removed, and no functions were added even in EJ Kai.

It is strange but still we will see maybe it could be the F4EJ and not the Kai.

Why should we see the Kai?

Isn't it an upgrade package from the 90's on the F-4E(J) i mean how about to be satisfied with the F-4EJ for now since no other Nations has the E variant with the onboard gun yet.

No gotta go straight for the best available right?

Hold horses wait and see as nothing was confirmed,they said they will look into it

More like it's already being researched/developed. DMM posted a tweet of an street where an air force base is clearly they are getting research for the plane.

It's more the fact that the EJ kai was teased and not the regular EJ. Besides the EJ kai will not preform especially differently than the EJ. Same engines, same airframe (I thinl somw control surfacw upgrades but nothing too insane). Avionics matter more IRL than in game. The Kai would just allow for more options such as more advanced missiles or playing around with HUDs and other stuff if that starts to get added. 

 

I see no reason why an American F4E would be at a distinct disadvantage against an F4EJ kai in game assuming loadouts are the same.

My theory is that gaijin was already working on the f4ej non kai and DMM proposed to help and also provide  info for a future Kai version of the plane

 

The antithesis to all this is : Why would gaijin care this much about japan to give it 2 f4s in a short span of time

 

 

I say wait and see

There was a leak that Japan would nevertheless receive some vehicles in this patch, + we know that we will not receive new ground equipment. The chance to get a phantom in this patch has increased. Plus, this is not accurate, but based on the context, I assume that they talked about top vehicles.

F-4EJ Kai:

Twin Engine √

Heavy Fighter √

Has ground attack capabilities, but will end up without them due to gaijin reading the wrong materials √

 

I mean it fits the criteria

 

I'm at least hoping that for lack of new ground Japan gets a good plane and fixes for the existing ground vehicles to bring them up to standard.

It's still entirely possible the standard F-4EJ can come; while we know DMM is working on getting info on the F-4EJ Kai. DMM is still posting about recording sounds and such, so it seems very much WIP still. Im hoping for either tbh, but unless everyones getting fancy top tier jets (Possible considering that CV90 website stated 60 vehicles this patch) it'd be more logical for a EJ to come.

It has the 3D model of the EJ Kai.... time to bug report :burned:

 

Fun fact: The way to visually identify between an EJ & EJ Kai is the J/APR-6 RWR located at the leading edge of each wing tip & the top rear side of the vertical stabilizer.

Will the F-4EJ be worse than the F-4E in terms of turn?

They looks to be pretty much the same almost. Should be good flares means it can avoid missiles and it has Aim-9J which have a 20G overload.

He will not have slats, that is, yes.

Well that depends if the US F-4E in-game has slats. Before the agile eagle program both the E & EJ had the same wings. But if its after, then yes the E will be more manouverable.

This must be a mistake. The F-4EJ doesn’t suppose to have slats. It never received T.O. 556. Maybe the devs mixed up the models.

Theoretically, slats are possible for the Kai version, since they were tested, but they were not accepted.
