There’s 2-3 sub-variants of the Block-52 but do you know the operators of the block-52 outside the United States?
after this update there are only 2 non US planes at 14.3 and higher with less than 10 missiles
and both of those have significantly better missiles
so again, why do you want the US tech tree to have to follow stricter standards than other tech trees
It’s not just the US I want every tree to have less missiles. RIght now top tier is jsut who can throw more missiles at each other instead of who can employ missiles the best and dodge others. I think they should restrict every plane to realistic and limited loadouts as well as make the missiles harder to dodge so theres actual skill.
honestly i think they should remove all the theoretical pilons from the game and go back to stuff we have seen planes flying with.

100% But even then planes like the hornets with their ‘murder’ loadouts of 12 amraams wouldnt be that strong because they’re not on strong airframes like the EF or Su-30 series

I mean, the Typhoons only have 8 missiles and they’re Aim-120s, so not significantly better. That’s the Rafale.
The gripen e gets better better missiles? since when?
1 Like
all of the typhoons have a total of 10 missiles
since last update
oh yeah, 9 missiles
yeah totally comparable to them adding POBIT with only 6 and a worse flight model and less CMs
also interesting that that was added at 14.0 while POBIT is being added at 14.3

Gripen e has 9 missiles and is 14.3 and honestly the f18e and f15ge are better overall due to them carrying more missile tho.

I was only counting the Aim-120s ngl.
If you could please support this bug report. It is to get the cockpit modelling corrected to feature the ALQ-213 and the ATD to increase the accuracy and realism of the model. Thank you.

Hey @Smin1080p I have a few questions regarding the F-16C PoBIT.
Firstly, I saw a discussion last week regarding the F-16C PoBIT receiving an updated/different HMD, and that the Rafale’s version of Thales Scorpion was attached to the suggestion for a temporary placeholder. Are there any updates on this?
Secondly, (tied with the first question) I also saw the dev response to the report was that the PoBIT’s HMD is not in game yet. Does this mean we can expect a more modern version of Scorpion in the (near?) future?
And then finally, are there any more updates regarding the GBU-53? I remember it being pretty much denied for now, but I’m curious if anything has come up that might change that. It would be very nice if the US got a new CAS weapon, especially one that could be used with PIDS+ pylons (unlike the 3x AGM-65Ds).

It’s a bit tricky with Scorpion since we don’t have any images of any air to air symbology for the F-16 only what the ground symbology could look like.
But seeing how it’s already close to what the A-10C has they could use it’s Scorpion as a base and just add the ground target / IFF boxes in colour instead of the current X it uses.
For air symbology maybe they base it off of JHMCS II air symbology?
Obviously it would be this mutant HMD but anything is better than the current JHMCS and will give it a usable HMD until we start to see what the full symbology of Scorpion for the F-16 looks like.
Or Gaijin goes for JHMCS II instead of Scorpion since we know more about that currently. It would also give the other aircraft like the F-15’s a better HMD too.

Yeah I mean personally I would be happy if it had:
- Missile seeker symbology (shows where the missile is looking, like JHMCS has)
- Radar lock symbology (shows where the radar lock is, like on the F/A-18s JHMCS, or Rafale’s Scorpion)
- IFF + DL (shows friendly positions, like on the A-10C)
So if they updated the A-10C’s HMD to have radar lock and missile seeker symbology I’d be pretty happy, personally.

Is the lack of an option to use MAW/BOL blocks together with AAMs on the F16C PoBIT final? Does this mean that, for example, you lose one AMRAAM missile for 90 CMs or two for 180? If that is the case then it adds zero value to the ARB capability of this aircraft.
Don’t know, they might be working on passive A2A search & tracking modes for Targeting pods in the background.
- LITENING AT (AAQ-28(V)4)A2A tracking and SARH / ARH support
- The ASQ-228 ATFLIR should be impacted by this change to IRST
Could also be the signs of the planned inclusion of the Legion IRST pod

we already had F-16 that should’ve had scorpion so dont expect anything.
And we still have the fraud gajin did to J-10C and fake units…
