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.

On the most recent iteration of the dev server, the F-4EJ, F-4EJ ADTW, and F-4EJ Kai all got 600 gallon centerline drop tanks

I see that the old 600 gallon drop tanks are mounted downward. The high G tanks seem to be mounted upward.

Yeah, I noticed that too but I wasn't entirely sure whether or not it was just a different tank that the Phantom used

I neglected to ask this earlier but why was the F-4EJ Kai's HUD changed? I saw in some datamines that it got changed to the Elbit 967 HUD but I figured that was a mistake and it would change back to the Kaiser HUD, but I guess not.

GAIJIN must have given up trying to reproduce the shimadzu HUD:crysnail:

In fact, the Kurnass 2000 and F-4EJ Kai use the same HUD.

In the book "元F-2テストパイロット”が語る戦闘機論" the speed bars on the F-15 and F-4 Kai slow down as they go up. The new HUD is faster as you go up. This indicates that the new HUD is wrong.

This HUD would match the description.

Hello. Today I would like to share some research on unique modifications to the F-4EJ.

 

1. SAGEM MAWS

Spoiler

The F-4EJ Kai was briefly tested with a SAGEM MAWS purchased from France as a study for potential domestic development. The system was mounted in the nose next to the 20mm Vulcan.

 

2.XGCS-2

Contrary to what Bowie says the XGCS-2 wasn't just a drop test system, but a functional weapon. As we can see here from the testing results the warhead was tested and so was target detection. The bomb has a tandem warhead.

 

3. Targeting camera pod

The F-4EJ has a targeting pod modified from a fuel tank that is mounted on a gimbal. THe specifications and capabilities are unknown.

 

4. Domestic TISEO pod

Spoiler

Japan developed another pod with a forward fixed camera similar to the TISEO found on other F-4EJs
