Yeah, its Japanese pop culture used by Japanese people for the Japanese Self-Defense Force

What, do you expect our military to not use Americana in their recruitment posters?

Wow, we got ourselves a genuine Sherlock over here.

While china decides to build more and more artificial islands to the south it's only a matter of time until they try it with the east.

The japs realise with the number of troops they have and their current... effectiveness they're going to get bent over and fucked. So it's no surprise they are using the stuff the general population love in order to try and get recruits.

Not an f-16 (its a domestically produced jap plane, very similar but overall a slightly larger airframe due to them having to make their own fly by wire system that wan't as compact as ours) but thats a good point maybe the JSDF only really puts missiles on the mounts since they're so anal about being offensively armed.

They're using a well-established art style in a manner that brings a long tradition in military aviation (pin-up girls) to younger generations of potential recruits. Otaku culture isn't mainstream in Japan, but the general aesthetic of manga and anime is undoubtedly familiar to just about anyone in the country. As far as I'm concerned, this makes perfect sense.

While it was a joke, still WWII made massive changes into Japanese culture and especially popular culture.

Seriously, you bitch about research and then link to fucking listverse and toptenz for sources.

Lets start with samurai list.

>10. They Tested Swords by Cutting People in Half

They fucking debunk this by themselves for most part. Samurai weren't just warriors, they were the law enforcement in feudal Japan. Mutilation and death penalty were and still are common punishments for criminals in feudal societies.

>9. Samurai Randomly Murdered People for Fun
>8. Murder People They Thought Insulted Them

Yes, daimyos were totally thrilled when their samurai kill random people for pretty much no reason.... their tax payers and conscripts in case of bigger wars, as in some domains ashigaru were conscripted farmers.

7. (Common) Women had to Pay to Marry Them
6. Wives Were Expected to Kill Themselves if Their Husband Messed Up

Dowries were common in pretty much every feudal society, also what the fuck... judging wives rights by modern standards. Are you some sort of feminazi? Amount of offenses requiring samurai and his wife solve a number-placement puzzle has been somewhat inflated.

>4. They Used to Shoot Dogs with Arrows, for Sport

Hey, this is even worse than killing random people all the time. More relativism please.

>3. They Used to Have Lots of Sex with Teenage Boys

Not that rare thing historical societies.

>2. The Ronin
>1. The Kabukimono

Roving bands of criminals, mercenaries and former soldiers are totally unrelated to times of major turmoil like feudal wars and their aftermath. Also looting, raping and shieet continued long after proper feudal era.

I'm not denying that, but its not an f16. Its similar and may have been based on an f16 deriviative, but its not like they just set bought a production license from Lockheed, the f16 blueprint, and went at it. The airframe is larger and design changes were made to it. Primarily to be optimized for domestic Japanese production, and due to the fly by wire avionics system being different. As the Americans refused to let them copy their version which took up more space than the f16 equivalent parts. the big reason why I don't consider it the same thing is the lack of parts commonality and the capability/cost differences due to its different airframe. A perfect example of this is how the British invented the Sopwith Triplane in ww1 and the Germans copied it, and produced the Fokker Triplane made famous by the red baron. The two airframes are strikingly similar and if you both gave them the same paint job would be very hard to tell apart, but still different aircraft.

tl:dr very similar but different enough to not be the same thing

>>33369309

Germany had conscription until recently. That kinda makes recruitment campaigns irrelevant for military unless they are recruiting civilian specialists or career officers.

Japanese constitution bans all sort of involuntary servitude in addition to enforcing all kinds of pacifist bullshit, as result JSDF has had personnel shortage. Those two factors create need to have recruitment campaigns and ads. I suspect change in tone Japanese ads recently is related to Abe being first prime minister in Japan that isn't practically anti-military.

Different, like completely different wing and tail. Japanese need to domestically develop all kinds of stuff, because reasons. That builds indigenous knowledge base in case they actually would have to rely on domestic suppliers.

F-2 is essentially F-16, but with little bit more than none when it comes parts commonality.

BTW, by your standards F/A-18 is just a variant of F-5.

That's kind of the point. The Japs can't have an actual military; it's against their constitution. What they do have is the "Self-Defense Force." They can't advertise going to war with someone, because that would be breaking their laws (it's also against their constitution to go to war with someone), so they have to advertise the shit that they do to help others.

I'm not the guy you argued with in first place, but neither you got essentially any detail correct.

To start with something. Larger wing and larger air intake dictates completely redesigned central fuselage. Same shit with forward fuselage due to bigger radar, different fucking canopy, beefed up landing gear and different leading edge extensions. Not to mention way more advanced composites used in structures and skin than F-16. Pretty much only common major airframe component is rear fuselage, larger tail still can still use similar attachment points.

Avionics of F-2 are way different from F-16. Differences start with entirely different radar, essentially everything related to weaponry is different as most of F-2's weaponry is Japanese, different HUD and MFD's.

Generally it would probably be easier to list actually common parts as pretty much every thing has been changed.

BTW. F/A-18 is still just a minor redesign of F-5 if F-2 is F-16.

F/A-18 started as F-5 with high mounted wing to allow more payload and slightly extended fuselage to allow bigger fuel tank. That was called N-300. That led to P530 series, which went trough few iterations with minor changes to wing, LERX, intakes, tail and fuslage. Once USAF published LWF requirements, it got scaled up into P600 and development also forked up single engine variant P610. USAF approved full development of P600 into YF-17, which in turn lost LWF selection to YF-16. YF-17 was selected by USN to be navalized, that became F/A-18. SuperHornet slightly scaled up version of original Hornet with new avionics and engines. Since plane remains essentially same trough one redesign, it has to remain same plane through few redesigns.

Design line to F-2 starts from General Dynamics ADF design studies. YF-16 -> F-16A/B -> F-16 Agile Falcon proposal -> F-2. In the last step they changed pretty much everything minus ejection seat, some avionics, rear fuselage, engine and fuel system.

Alternatively go with the other line of reasoning when it comes to major redesigns, for example consider SuperHornet and Legacy bug to be different aircraft.

The author originally just wanted to shit talk politicians that actually in 2004 or so wanted to remove the JSDF.

So he made some story where magic romans invade and manage to fuck around in tokyo for two weeks because the politicians wanted the US to step in and later when the JSDF kicked ass gave them shitty cold war gear so they could die of and the US would roll in but it did not happen etc.

Im not sure if you can find it anymore.

>>33376327
Comes down to cost. With current you have a stockpile of parts and people trained to use and maintain the aircraft.

When you buy new models, you have to train the people all over to use and maintain, buy different parts and stock those parts along side the other aircraft parts. Not to mention the overall cost in purchase instead of budgeting for known upkeep costs.

I've read the novels and none of this was actually in it.

The JSDF are never really glorified beyond "this is a modern military unit" either.

Seems they have smg uzi clones.

Badly. They're a self-defense force.
They literally couldn't get any practical experience (all warfare is prohibited by the constitution) in since the end of WW2. US made sure of that.

Considering the region they inhabit, it's probably for the best.

>>33377507
It's explained way better in the novel. Three groups from three countries show up at the same time, without knowing each other are there, they all have bad intel, and one of the groups had bad OPSEC so the Japs know they're coming and are prepared with a UAV overhead and substantially increased defenses. Most of the kills come from the groups shooting one another, too, until Rory gets battle-horny and starts chopping heads off.

>>33377514
He's not really an operator. He accidentally talked his way into a Ranger tab and then qualified SF by pulling a bullshit stunt that the CO thought "showed initiative" or something like that.

If anything a lot of the shit in GATE portrays the JSDF as a bunch of morons playing war and emulating old movies.

>>33377524
Of course not, but for one thing it's a relatively lighthearted fiction series about a dude driving around a fantasy world in a jeep full of waifus, and they do actually go out of their way to show a lot of the political machinations and the Japanese leadership openly admits that they're going to have to let other countries in soon, they're just playing for time so they can negotiate better terms for it.

They also state outright that the Americans are going to be the favored partners in the deal.

There are tons of fanfics with this name, but stories Harry Potter or Twilight in GATE aren't likely (a real shame).


>>33378002
Opening of the gate means ww3 anyways. There is no way that the rest of the world is going to stand idly by and watch japan gain an entire world worth of land, ressources, population and magic.
Every country will try to gain some advantage and will be absolutely rabid about it. Except maybe Andorra.
And the best thing is, they could brand as anticolonialism, trying to protect those poor locals and research local cultures. We might even see a UN intervention with decent RoE, it should tell you the madness we'd be facing.

>>33368633
I would suggest that repressing themselves into westernization was much worse than the bombs in terms of warping their culture.

>>33377531
Probably depends a lot on the circumstances, like who's attacking, who's defending, who has the better assets available, who has better equipment and who has better intel.

All things being equal, of course the more experienced team wins. I'd place US, UK, RUS and maybe FRA special forces at the top (the only ones who have seen constant action in recent years) and then the Chinks (they have a lot of minorities to suppress). Rest of us euros do fuck all, and the Japanese are purely defense oriented and have done even less.

Well, she could've waited or retreated. Going toe to toe with a tank equipped with a military-grade dead-bolt isn't going to be very effective if all you've got is small arms.

I mean, she knew Batou was on his way, right? She told him that there was a tank. They had a helicopter with optics. The tank was also just chilling out, totally content to draw aggro from the car. Where was the getaway car going to go? Major was just in a hurry because she needed to pee.

This is evident.

>>33366414

Eh... its better than nothing? At least we didn't neuter Japan like we accidentally Germany.

>>33383225
I she couldn't wait becasue she wasn't sure who would show up first, Section 9 or Section 6 reinforcements. So she stormed in to try and capture the Puppet Master herself. Not the smartest move, but it showed just how pissed of the whole ordeal had made her, as she was normally an incredibly measured and clear headed person, that little bit of renegade shows how angry she was.

Remember that only a few minutes after Batou showed up, Section 6 had a sniper team on station and was able to destroy what was left of the Major and the Puppet Master.

>>33366853
That's an F-2, genius.

>>33383402
The section 6 team would likely have been knocked out of the sky, given that all they came with was anti-cyborg gear. The tank would've just sat on top of the car, tanking hits until it got annoyed and decided to fire back.

Though, you're right. Makoto didn't know who'd show up first.

But, Makoto didn't need to dive right there and then. Arguably, she did it because she was either:

1. Ghost hacked and compelled to do it.
2. Pretty sure that she was going to be blown away, recovered, and assumed dead. This way, she'd be able to get away with whatever she found.

>>33383529
The tank WAS with Section 6, the sniper team was only sent in to clean up the mess once it was clear that they would not be able to retrieve the Puppet Master. The tank was originally supposed to collect the Puppet Master from the get away car or act as an escort for it or protect it until a new extraction team could get there.

>>33384441
Oh.

My bad.
