I saw that the Israeli f16c in this version does not have the AGM-65 Maverick, and all the issues to add the AGM-65 to the f16d were rejected because there was no picture proof. So I started searching online, and I found that I could not find any pictures of the Israeli f16 with the AGM-65. Don’t Israelis use the AGM-65? In this version, the American f111c has 4 gbu15v2 in 11.7. I am afraid that this may lead to data adjustments and the last fun weapon of the Israeli cas will no longer be there. In the game, I tried to understand Israel as a version of the US Air Force that can be obtained with less experience, but it would be too embarrassing if the cas in 12.7 only has Paveway 2 without iog

they might use a home vairent of the 65 or see no need for a agm
I just think that maybe Israel needs more f&f weapons to improve the experience, after all, in this version, it is not, uh, too strong

israeli create thier own variants of agm 65, such as Popeye (AGM-142) wich are to good to be be rn in the game. (but s1 ofc can be)
Popeye AGM 142
(there is Popeye II that you can place on f16i sufa because the normal Popeye is to big)
israeli air force have a lot cool stuff that we cant call it “clone” so its nice if we will see new CAS things, example: (my fav)) Spice there is a lot of different mass’s (its like Jdam but cooler)
Close-up front view of a Spice-guided bomb
can be lunched on f16 f15 panavia tornado grippen mirage 2000
Spice 1000
the spice could be added in the future, as the winged jdams.
i could mention Delilah but its cruise missile so nope (for now)
but the fact is, israel using smart bombs guided by Laser or GPS (IIR or TV to,cuz now days you can choose wich mode to fire it, and all of that support INS ofc) so for now they can start to work for more Jdam’s variants and we just need to wait and prey. (when new spaa? Spyder AIO at least to israeli TT!)
Peace.

yep F15E strike eagle and F15I Ra’am with the all new bombs and rockets (ATA ATG) would be a tough thing to defeat (the real multi-role). but gaijin need time.
it does state on wikipedia for the agm 65 that israeli in fact used those on f-16’s, but of course its wikipedia.
I think that it says that cause there is no reason for it to not be able to carry them, i dont think ive seen an image of the K2K carrying 65D’s but it does anyways (could be wrong not too sure).
The IAF tended to avoid using the Mavericks because their range was deemed too short. The Israelis preferred to deploy guided weapons outside of hostile SAM range. The Delilah and Rampage missiles are recent examples of this preference.
That said, I just found this photo in the Aircraft of the Israeli Airforce: F-16A-B Netz book, page 25 (PDF copy).
Photo’s caption:
The Spice bomb series has optical guidance that allows the bomb to find its target regardless of any GPS jamming, without any assistance from the parent aircraft.

The only thing i would do is either list the page its on or add the image to the report just to make it easier for devs to access the image showing it.
I don’t know why Gaijjn doesn’t add Gbu-15 to F-16C Barak

Because in their logic, F-16D is attack version (because it has two bass-boosted walleyes at top br and few unusable laser gbus) and F-16C supposed to be adf version. Meanwhile American F-16C is better in both roles then dedicated Israeli variants, because gaijin hates this nation.
