I’ll remove it once I see what it entails, want to see its stats ingame

Have there been any updates on the F16Is channel loss/engine thrust?

Kh38MT is hard limited by seeker lock range at 40km, “GNSS” is absolutely useless on TV/IR guided ordnance as you still need to obtain lock first before launch. Same applies to SPICEs. Even with said 40km hard limit you’re still fighting with unstabilized view, as targeting pod stabilization limit is 30km only.

Kh38ML as well any other laser+IOG/GNSS or straight GNSS have only flight model/battery time limitation, as those can be launched through map designated PoI. And here glide bombs have no issues covering 80km+ when dropped from low orbit.


From data mine

The real reason we dont have grom-1 is its being outstanding when it comes to base farming in ARB. You could get two bases from like 50 kms if I remember correctly. So those excuses of gaijin are just have nothing to deal with real reasoning behind those weapons limitations. They just dont want to implement those straight away, leaving space for adding clones with “new next-gen ultra weapon addition”.

New camouflage added for the F-16I according to the datamines from @gszabi99:


F-16I Sufa - “bat” - 107 Squadron “494”

We need more squadrons represented in war thunder, this is nice though since we typically seem to get Manat more than any others

Thank you for taking the lead on this. Israeli hardware rarely gets what it’s due in game.
I appreciate the work you & the community are putting into this.

I think both the F-16D and F-16I sufa should be tagged as strike aircraft instead of fighters. The F-15I is designated as a strike aircraft, why not make the 2-seater F-16s in the same line, strike aircraft too?

doesnt really matter anymore, since now we dont have “stacking” aircraft types in case of SP cost

Strike aircraft have a higher base bomb reward multiplier

Dov bleg is out F-16I Sufa: The Negev Storm

So does it mean F16I is able to carry 4 of the spice250 at the same pylon?

Spice-250 and GBU-39 use different launchers

Yeah no they use a different launcher and wiring
