A new update has arrived, still no AIM-120 for Italian F-16A ADF

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?

i’m trying to grind with it and, oh boy is it a tough one , especially when you have to play always against 12.7 and above airplanes and when there is a billion f14 IRIAF that just spam that freaking fakour and you just have the constant ping in ears cause of the billion of missiles they launch

I know your troubles very well, man. And I’m very supportive of you. Because we have the same problem (F-16A MLU).

It’s not the preferred historical layout though, they have proven it is the historical layout while the other is not historical at all.

It could not use them, its why we don’t get aim-7s on the F-4F, is it not?

Cause the F-4F’s radar doesn’t have the M— mode [wish I remembered the full name] for AIM-7F and newer, or a CW illuminator for the legacy AIM-7s [E-2 and older].

And again, how does it make AIM7 a preferred or not armament? (For the F16)
Why would they bother taking out the wiring if they were gonna use sparrows any way?
Short answer they didn’t use it, it wasn’t an avaible armament, it should not be in game

Yes, it couldn’t use it. Just like how the F-16 ADF can’t use sparrows.

They also didn’t allow the F-4F ICE to use AIM-7s as place holders because it couldn’t use them as far as I know.

So they’ve proven that the AIM-120s is the historical loadout.

Actually this is exactly what is going to happen, I’ve already had such experience with C1 Ariete additional armor, when they added 5.5 t of weight to War kit, but didn’t change anything in terms of protection making it something like “heavy air” lol

That’s actually true and very funny but also very sad
