Unfortunately there’s not much that can be done, if anything, at this time.
I do know of models and renders with 16x however, but those can’t be accepted.

They have different top speeds but they share the same frame and have the same rip speed of 1550kph IAS.
IDK if that’s realistic but that’s how gaijin handles it.

That kinda makes sense but the f16i is much different compared to the other f-16s
Unless it has weaker wings somehow, it will be the same regarding rip speeds.
IRL there are probably some aerodynamic changes with the spine or CTF that may or may not slightly increase wing loading at speed somehow. The weights might also slightly change wing loading because of AoA changes, but in WT you have the same rip speed with empty or full tank anyway.

Rather then saying overpreforming top speed you should say overpreforming rip speed. I’ll incorporate your reports once they get a response as I’d like to se what the devs/mods say about it.

Likely the only you can get outside Israel.
There is plenty of documentation
I wonder if GJ will model the Advanced self defense system added to the Sufa in 2025.

Can someone that has the 16I take a video of them going straight at max afterburner at sea level?
i remember in the operation rising lion we had a couple aircraft from a different squadron land for refueling with 4 racks of spice 250. sadly since its classified and its from a different squadron to mine i cant provide any evidence of that. but any spice series bomb should be mounted on any wing pylon hardpoint whether its 4 and 6 or 3 and 7.
derby ER does have the little flaps

It does not have those things right below the top fins
That’s not i derby er
this is from side angle, you can see the little shadow it forms, also the pic i sent above with a kfir its using a derby ER according to the photographer statement
well the brochure from rafael doesn’t show those little wing tip thingies. you’re confusing i derby and i derby er, i would trust the brochure for the thing over some photopgraphers statement
