Why does the Belgum 12.0 F-16 have 9m’s while every other f-16 at 12.0 doesn’t?
It’s the dev server, BR’s are always temporary.
They’ve made 3 Mini updates to the Dev Server already, It has yet to change.
Still is a Devserver,… and dev server is not final.
I hope so. France already has the best FOX-3s in game along with good planes and Magic 2s, they hardly need a 12.0 F-16 with 9Ms (still confused as to why France got it, they absolutely didn’t need it) to go with all of their other very good aircraft and missiles
Many benelux people wanted those planes, but they’re not enough unique design to make it a Real TT (i mean until they got tanks/naval]
I meant got the F-16. It’s ridiculous and they don’t need it.
The F-16’s are integral to the BeNeLux air forces.
Ok, great? The AV-8B was integral to American Marine aviation, yet we don’t have it. The P-35s were key to American aviation, yet we don’t have it. The SBD-5 was key to American aviation, yet we don’t have it.
If it weren’t copy paste, maybe I’d feel differently about it. But especially given it is, it is absolutely not needed. At most, it should have been a premium
I respect your opinion. However I don’t agree with all of this. I want all integral planes to an air force added to their respective tech trees, regardless if this looks like Copy-Paste (which in the Belgian F-16 blk15 isn’t exactly the case:
). This is because some of these planes are historic icons of their era. That you’d need to play the ‘same’ vehicle again in a different tech tree should be logical. Not all countries have a fully independent defence industry and thus procure material from other nations.
I’m more of a fan of the ‘historical’ nation tech tree compared to the technological tech tree.
For air realistic it might not be needed gameplay-wise, but air arcade is also a gamemode many play and a lineup is very important there.

Yep!
And France also get castrated US planes, as same BR than their counterparts, aka the F-8E(FN) who haven’t flare but stay at same BR that your F-8E(in AB), or the F-100D who get a higher BR (9.7) in AB despict the fact it have only the AIM-9B (US get better loadout and AIM-9Ex4 at 9.3)… I’m pretty sure I can find other similar inequality.

Didn’t checked if belgian F-16 is gonna recieve Magic-2 in devserver (would be funny though ^^")
You can also bring those fact to next BR update.

According to Smin we won’t get these on the ‘regular’ F-16 block 15, because according to the source they(Devs) have, only specifically the OCU 40 model of SABCA(which built the F-16’s for Belgium) could use the magic II and the AS-30L. (The one used in the trials was a F-16AA Block15, should be the same as any of the other 60 F-16’s ordered in the 80s-90s.)
I can sadly not find anything about the ‘OCU 40’ specifically.
I would like to argue that that same can be said for China in the lower tiers.
Yeah, in clear " we developpers considered that uniqueness of Belgian F-16’s should not be taken into account" basically.
But as much as it’s a shame,… maybe we will see those later on.
China as some uniqueness even at low BR, and a lot of uniqueness at high tier (even more coming anytime soon, with J-10 fighters)
Not integral to the French airforce, they could have been integral to the German airforce considering they have a Phantom at top tier.
I disagree. This is about the BeNeLux sub tree, not the French one.

You also don’t play Germany so it’s just an easy target for you.
