Hello I wanted to create this thread to talk about the lack of BOL pods on many different aircraft. Things like the Squadron Su-22, F-16c, F/A-18C late, F-15E, Eurofighter (Ones on it now are not proper BOL i believe) , and the lack of it on many other aircraft. I got the idea for making this thread from a thread about proper BOL counter measures in the dev sever which needs to be added with all aircraft getting their BOL. It's time for Gaijin to finally reverse the ahistorical nerf to BOL countermeasures [Poll]
Big thing is how some planes like the F-16AM German Su-22 prem and Finnish F-18 all get BOL pods while the countries that made them don’t get it.
I want y’all’s thoughts and inputs on what aircraft need BOL pods and possible ideas why they haven’t gotten them yet.
Should all aircraft get their proper BOL pods and correct counter measure count?

Yeah that’s why I said the squadron Su-22 in the OP
Here you go. Looks a lot more than the 12 it gets.
Sorry i’ll change it but is this blue thing?
Its not quite clear enough to tell what that is but I dont think it is.
At least Id want another source stating it was BOL or that Syria even had BOL in their arsenal first though

Hmmm well I changed the thread to take about proper flare count and missing BOL pods.
that not a Saab BOL pod.
looks to be either russian or domestic made.
appears to be a permanent modification too

IK, this forum especially when it involves a vehicle in the “big three” can be very claiming of things from one nations own modification of a vehicle being no different to another if it benefits them. just wanted that to be clear

The F16AM has more than just a bol pod, is a PIDS pylon, it has an included maws, and was designed by terma a danish company, those pylons cant carry missiles and the trade off is the f16AM doesnt get a radar hms
Its only the syrian and hungarian su22m3 that have fewer countermeasures than all others, but they have significantly more thrust
Yeah idk why the new finnish f18 needs 1280 countermeasures its kinda hilarious
Yeah it’s mostly Western fighters that are missing it.

I believe its the additional countermeasures from the mig23ml

Well I mean all modern and export besides the Swiss F/A-18 (I believe) are compatible with those BOL and I think possibly the PIDS (But that just might be the Super hornet)
It is they just super glued them on lol.
Doesn’t really matter to me. As long as BOL gets unnerfed and they’re realistically implemented to all compatible aircraft.
