Sorry for replying too late, but this plane, along with the other Shindens and the Rafale -VA-, is one of the best LASM platforms. However, remember that LASMs from attackers in general are more powerful. You're right, the standard ASF-X is a snail, so if you want a good multirole LASM platform, go for either this Nagase version, or the other special Shindens, or the Rafale -VA-. If you don't have any of these and you end up deciding not to get the Nagase later on, go for an F-2A or an F-18F (and their special variants).
