We have a goddamn japanese f16 that never existed so i think they could do with a bit of inacuracy considering they didnt add more advanced stuff that the plane could carry.

I wonder F-16C Block 30 Barak I access Python 3 and carry extra countermeasures ?

It never carried Python 3 and it already has additional countermeasures. 200 total

nvm I thought you mean the current Block 40 Barak II

They need to Put 2 Aim-7Ms as stop gap until the amraam comes this is one of the 3 viable options, the second one is Put the Python 4, and the third one is put the Aim-9M for both F-16s the Block 50 and the Barak 2

Or just give it AMRAAMs

Why not give it DERBY missiles? If they do give it Python 4’s, DERBY’s are just python 4’s with an active radar seeker on them like the AIM-54’s

F-16D Block 40 Barak II was not capable of using US radar guided missiles, any Israeli F-16 you see with AMRAAMs will be a F-16I, you can tell at a glance as the F-16D does not have the shoulder mounted conformal fuel tanks like the F-16I does.

Currently the only possible new missile additions to the Barak II would be the Python 4 as seen

Or the Derby as seen

Of course the AIM-9M could also be added as it is just an AIM-9L with an improved seeker and smokeless motor.

I hope that in this upcoming update in october-november we finally see the Python-4 coming to the Barak II

@Smin1080p whats up! how´s your day mate? any news about this?

Hello

Currently there is no news on the missile. It remains a future possibility for the aircraft.

However it’s performance (the missile) is currently superior to most in game.

Ok, thank you for the Answer smin, however it would be really cool to have this missile since it was developed to counter the R-73. lets wait and see.

EHHH sketchy reason, with the same reasoning i could demand the IRIS T missle now

you know that the IRIS-T is more modern and its a god damn beast right? the IRIS-T is on pair with the 9X Block 2 mate

i am aware, but it is the same principal u used

i dont agree because we have more R-73 Variants IRL, the R-73M and R-74 are more on pair with IRIS-T

I believe that gajin could add Python 4 replacement AIM-9M on F-16D Block 40 Barak but guess might consider december this year or Q1 2024 because not ready add Python 4 this month

At least I might hope gajin consider guidance Air-to-Ground munitions SPICE 2000 and MPR500 with JDAM in october-november or december this year

And you guess AAM-3, R-73M & ASRAAM Block I equivalent Python 4 ?

Not rly
Derby is p4 that trades agility to tange and ofc radar seeker

Hello @Smin1080p_WT
Do u have any good news?
Since israel doesnt get f18 i find the upcoming major update is the perfect time to add the python 4 (at least with nerfed irccm)
