I love the F-16 irl so I still want to see the PoBIT, but I feel like it would be better off and more future proof if it was added without AIM-120Ds at a lower BR.
That way it could benefit from possible future decompression (whenever that happens again).
Hell naw not paper weapons, in case you didn’t fully understand it yet the F-21 and everything related was NEVER built or ever close to happening, those were all just renders of Lockheed to advertise their plane to India. These do NOT belong in the game
It was never ok and it will never be. This game pretends to be realistic, so even if it’s not let’s not completely drop our standards ok?
Like what’s next, we’ll add fictional fighters from movies and video games?
Yes thats it. High performance but terrible armament for a heavy fighter.
The only other option i could think of would be captured two seat me262 night fighters. Probably low enough performance to be rank 4. I wouldnt be opposed to both the Germans and the frenchies getting it but the german main will through a hissy fit (just wait until czech s-92s are released with the polish tree lol).
The germans can get that, but France has a decent amount of nf options. First off there’s the cats, and then there’s all the missing jets like the NF Meteors and the Aquilons
My first thought was “surely, this is in a ‘marathon’ thrust setting, so to speak?” In simple terms, it would need to adjust its fuel consumption (and as a result, thrust output) based on the slant range and/or closure rate (in relation to its massive NEZ) of the target to stay powered for that long.
I’m certain a variable thrust figure for the ramjet portion of the Meteor’s flight to target is the most likely outcome, though the only thing that’s been bugging me is: if this is the speed in the “marathon” setting, I’d hate to see what “sprint” looks like 😳
love how the naval update gets a very well made report explaining how they will be improving it, while ground vehicles just get “wait for premium howitzers and nothing” :))
