f16A ADF italy version loadout is NOT historical, as it didn’t have the machinery to launch aim7 Sparrows but it had aim120 and aim9L-I.
No i will not leak sekrit documents.

then just decompress the br’s
Prove that F-16A ADF is incapable of using AIM-9Ls and AIM-7s, I’ll wait.
You claim it can’t, so provide evidence.
there is already an accepted bug report.
go search for it yourself instead of gaslighting here.

Stop misusing the word “gaslight” when you mean to type “I think your statement is incorrect”.
Seriously, doing that demeans those with real mental illness by misusing a word. It’s disgusting.
Italian sources say that Sparrow guidance system was removed before planes arrived to Italy.
More than that most of people on the forum would like Italian F-16ADF to have the weapon it used in the Italian service, where it was chosen specifically as AIM-120 platform.
I don’t know why some players want the plane to be artificially nerfed in some way, it isn’t like Italy loses something significantly important if you move F-16ADF higher. There are still multiple SARH platforms in the Italian tech tree.

AIM-120s is seen as an artificial nerf as it’d be 13.7 with 60 countermeasures when you could just fly the Typhoon or Gripen instead.

You don’t know the meaning of “artificial” it seems. It’s the weapon it used in the Italian service, not AIM-7M. If it is worse than its contenders, its BR can be decreased.

We’ve never played as air forces in War Thunder.
It’s irrelevant what Italy’s air force used, it’s only relevant what the manufacturer says can be used.
F-16ADF in the Italian TT represents F-16ADF of the Italian Air Force.

But does have R60M which is full aspect to say the least and has R27ER.
AIM-9L is superior, and I have AIM-7F on F-16A. An overall better loadout than 2 good missiles, and 4 eh missiles.
This is a representation of the ADF in Italian service, which means AIM-7 guidance system was removed.
These aircraft are physically incapable of using AIM-7, unless they go through further hardware and software modification, which should not be a standard chosen for the game as that opens up the ability for any aircraft to essentially carry whatever Gaijin feels like and throws history out the window.

Facts are indeed good.
If you want your PREFERRED historical loadout, say that.
Just don’t lie about loadouts.
My preferred loadout of F-16As are AIM-9Js, but I can wait for Block 1/5 for that desire.
What are you even talking about the italian F16 was NOT capable of carrying sparrows. It’s not about preferred or not it’s about facts, and your facts are wrong and you have been proven so

providing evidence is a 2 sided thing.
Both need to do it.
One to try to proof something. The other try to disproof it.

@MuccoPazzino Didn’t know I was an employee of Lockheed Martin. News to me.
Do you have evidence of me being an employee or are you going to backtrack your claim about Lockheed’s claims being mine somehow.
and yet, Gaijin decided to give the YAK 141 munitions
But they are R27ERs, AIM7M gap with R27ER is significantly more than AIM9L especially in a flare flying everywhere environment, a smokeless (or rather really short) motor might also help.
Also just on the note, for pov zoom, how do u switch to hold to zoom?
