[ DEV Server ] F16 blk 52 discussion thread

Already closed “The Elbit America sensors require additional equipment to be installed in the aircraft and new wiring to the pylon. The presence of a flare/chaff pylon alone does not confirm the ability to install the Elbit America sensors.”

They must not even look at the sources how does it close that quickly. They are installing the AN/ALQ-213 on the PoBIT which this is now, and the sensors go into the fricking pylon that already exists its no different than the Belgian F-16. I cannot even with these bug report managers.

Some of the bug reporting managers are genuinely incompetent.

Yea I do not even know why I tried

Sufa has 10860 kgf in afterburner on the live server if you have all the modifications on it.

[Dev] F-16C Block 52 missing Thales Scorpion
Damn, it got passed as a suggestion, at least they could give it a pseduo Rafale version or at least some kind of modified version from the A10C… Now it’s gonna have a HMD that it never had, lol so much for historical accuracy.

They’ll do this but not give it a triple rack, or 360 RWR, or MAWs.

Anything to gimp US aircraft and its performance.

Is there any photographic proof that a US block 52 f16 ever carried a triple aim 120 dispenser? I haven’t even seen a photo of any f16 carrying a triple aim120 dispenser. I’ve seen PIDS+ on US f16s, so it should get them, and its only logical that avionics from brand new upgrade have 360 RWR but aren’t the triple racks a crazy reach?

no photos, just proposed for turkey but got cancelled. Honestly this plane wouldn’t be DoA if they made the aim120D actually good and it wouldn’t need triple racks

No. I’m being pedantic. Mainly because we don’t even have proof (that I am aware of) of the one Kh-38 variant and we get that on multiple airframes because “Russia needed it”. But regardless. Pedantic.

The other two however is frustrating. Very frustrating. Because we know it exists and yet it isn’t there. I can be hopeful it just isn’t modelled but in reality it’s probably not coming.

ok, show me a picture of an EFT with dual AMRAAM rails

how about an SU-27 and SU-30 with dual R77s

how about a J-15 with dual PL-12s

once you can provide all four of those your point might make sense
but there is no photographic evidence (or other evidence for most of those) for any of those configurations

so why do you expect the US tech tree to have to abide by other rules than the rest of the trees in the game

Is there an actual difference between HMDs in game, aside from visuals?

but we don’t even know if this triple rack was even made. There’s got to be tests done to check integrity. All I’ve seen are online images and blueprints. If USA made the triple racks then this would totally be possible

the same could be said about the duel racks on the typhoons , tho i think the F-16 could at least get A twin rack added since its a real rack that exists and could realistically be put on an F-16.

Top tier is unbelievably oversaturated with fox 3 spam and should absolutely be limited to realistic and fair loadouts, more than 8 missiles is ridiculous in a game with 16 players on each team.

not really because we know duel racks already work with amraam. Its just that its not sure if typhoons ever got them IRL.

But yes I totally agree about the duel racks for f16. Boosting to 10 aim120D would be great but that f16 won’t be dogfighting at that point

Current model shows 60 regular and 30 large.

Honestly it should receive 120 CMs, not to mention the realistic CM count modeling is a little stupid IMO.

AN/ALE-47 dispenser is able to hold 30 flares each, and considering how top tier battles go it would be nice to receive the maximum load of CMs instead of this bogus CM modeling or at the very least, have the players choose what they want to run

So much for historical accuracy while J10 gets HMD in fake units, get in line atleast JHMCS works. Real entitlement from american players

Even 360 rwr got denied?
Edit: Found the report, It was not denied

Well, if they are adding a mediocre F16C they could at least give it a proper HMD for sim players to enjoy. Can you elaborate on the J10s HMD, in what way are the units fake?
