Originally posted by shan30: F-16 A J for now is just a plan, there is no any evidence that japan would buy F_16 A J. This aircraft is still on the paper. Since War Thunder is a game be known as its authenticity, it would be very bad to add some non-existed aircraft in the game. Also there are still many fantastic historical japan aircraft still haven't added to the game, such as F 15 J ,T 4, m 6 a 1 n a n zen etc...

Hi, it's being added to fill a gap, as Mike explained on the dev stream. The reason is because the future jet for Japan wont be added for a while. It is in a similar situation as the Swedish Mi-28A and AHS. These were tested / never tested or used but have been added to fill a suitable attacker helicopter gap for the Swedish.
