[ DEV Server ] F16 blk 52 discussion thread

havent played with it that much but seems fine, my main point of comparison is the M2kF5 and it also works just fine. I mean sure it’s far from being the best but it’s also far from being a russian radar. Also if ur saying to move the Sufa to 13.7 and the PoBit to 14.0, you have my vote

In a meta with multiple 10-14 missile carrying jets per team a radar that really likes to ghost and has no NCTR at all isn’t really decent at all.

You’ll spend half the time trying to figure out if what you are looking at is an actual plane, a ghost tsrget or maybe a missile in later stages of it’s flight. And since you only have 6 missiles you can’t really afford to just shoot and find out.

This would be ideal and would also 100% have my vote.

Can someone make a report to up the release speed of the AGM-154 to 575kts /Mach 0.95, I’ve got a source but no time to make the report.

ADA294617: AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon


“Testing has demonstrated the following launch envelope; Mach Number 0.60 to 0.95”

though it does note that these are to the limits of the aircraft, not the JSOW airframe.

Also as an aside the Datalink provides Moving Target Capability

And Outboard stations to 500 Kts .82 on the F/A-18C

Though carriage was planed to be improved out to 635kts / Mach 1.30, it had yet to be demonstated

GOOD News,
it’s accepted now

If anyone knows or could ping someone I have tried @Smin1080p_WT , but I am trying to get the Cockpit bug report and 360 RWR bug report to At least be seen they have both been buried in the reports

Maybe Gunjob knows what’s going on

Well I mean I don’t even know at this point. I guess they are incapable of reading and using their brains they have all been lobotomized and cannot think. I am so done these people are ****ing morons.

I’d genuinely love to know where they find some of these techmods. Genuine incompetence.

F-16’s going through PoBIT have AN/ALQ-213 which would very obviously include the controls for said AN/ALQ-213.

It’s the same as you going from the PS3 to the PS4 you’re not just going to setup the PS4 but still keep using the PS3 controller, that makes no sense, same as installing AN/ALQ-213 and not putting in the new controls.

There 100% needs to be a change of tech mods, get rid of these ones and bring in some new ones that can use a certain level of critical thinking and just common sense. Other than a few tech mods the majority of them are just downright incompetent.

This whole situation shows the true values of Gaijin. They want to introduce a Copy and Paste aircraft with the least possible effort, just to swep under the rug the current USA top tier situation. No accurate HMD, no RWR, missing ordnance, rejecting reports that might actually make it viable. It’s a complete joke when a company campaigning on realism relies on players to correct in-game vehicles according to information that could be found with a 5 minute Google search.

HOW the hell is an F-16 able to handle ALR-69A and MWS without such control heads?
Some of them just lack common sense and are too arrogant to inquire anything more from the report author.

I would have given more or explained more but they just close it. So you have to make a whole new report it’s crazy, but with everything I had it still should have passed regardless

@Gunjob

Sorry to ping you but you give the best responses and I have not heard from anyone else. Could you please take a look at this bug report I made about the F-16CM PoBIT cockpit modeling error and let me know how it is missing anything or if so open it so I can add more without making a whole new report.

Also this report about the 360 degree DRWR report has received nothing as of yet. Thanks

Well my 360 report got denied and that’s as much info about that one as I could find that was official if anyone else has more you could try again but with both these reports closed this plane is DOA and basically worthless to grind in my opinion if you like the F-16 like me Block 50 it is then.

*Closed for duplicate report

How come 360 rwr got closed

The way my sources were presented but I have a feeling even if I changed it, it would get denied for another reason. I was unable to find any Air Force documentation that mentioned 360 degree. Most were news sources that quoted something from the manufacturer I believe but that DRWR no longer has a page on Raytheon’s website. I may try and do the sources the way they want on Wednesday when I am home again but I don’t have much hope as of late with how they have been handling reports. Someone else is welcome to try.

Man I was excited too, this was the only thing that would separate it from every other us 14.3 but now its just worse at everything compared to the hornet and f15c ge, less missiles, less countermeasures, smaller radar scan area options, (I believe its 60 instead of the 70 on the f15c ge.) worse BVR capability and then an average FM for top tier.

like unironically I like playing the F16c 50 time to time its definitely not a strong 13.7 but holds its own insanely well and its fm is great for that. but to be the same tier as the early euro canards and .3 lower than the late ones is absurd if it doesn’t at least get its niche capabilities.

Yeah little info I found on coverage of ALR-69A
@tripod2008
Care to fill us in about that?
Thanks
