Dutch F-16AM Block 15 MLU

Obviously should be a crowning jewel of the BeNeLux tree

I voted yes, but it won’t be for Germany

+1 for a BeNeLux tech tree! They have enough to be made into their own separate nation. No point in ruining that opportunity by adding them to Germany

You have my support as a Dutchie!
Would love to see our vehicles appear under the flag of our very close ally and neighbor

Happy to hear that! I would love to see Dutch vehicles more as well! @Evo3s

I completely support this, this Is an option to replace the obsolete f4f ice

That is the main reason for my suggestion of this! @paganmine

You guys are right for sure! However, for BeNeLux tree, I believe there’s more modern versions of F16’s that can appear with that tree! Such as Belgium Block 20 F-16’s and even more modernized versions! @AVROVULCANXH558

Sure there’s other F-16s that can be added for the Benelux but look:

Yeah, I’m aware of that, but one can still hope

I did vote Yes, but, frankly, I would rather have had a Benelux Tech Tree than giving the Dutch to the Germans and (I’m assuming) the Belgians to the French… It’s a bit unfortunate.

I agree that it should be added to Germany to at the very least to act as a stop-gap jet.

That doesn’t make sense though, why would you have a tech tree for a group of nations and take one of said nation’s vehicles out of it and put it in another?

There are other aircraft which Germany can get if it’s absolutely necessary (not that it really is, let’s be honest, German air has some of the best placed vehicles in game)

The F-4F ICE would be fine in game, it would be roughly on par with the Tornado F.3 FSP, which has a better radar, but trades it for agility. Typhoon will come eventually, and DA1 will probably come too. If it’s absolutely necessary, it can be given Skyflash, as the databus should handle it, as on DA2.

+1, though probably not for Germany.
With the Tiffy extremely likely this year, Germany can hold out with the worst top tier fighter for a bit longer. And if there is a German F-16, it should be the Argentine one.

Yeah lots of people don’t like the idea of F4-F ICE o top tier, and frankly I do not see a new tech tree coming soon

Judging the armament and radar i can easily say F-4F İCE is actually better then this F-16.

İCE will have access to AIM-120’s and IRIS-T alongside with improved F-18’s radar, sure F-16 has the upper hand when it comes to flight performance but bein able to sling Amraams and turn cold gives huge advantage against F-16 and if they ever add IRIS-T then F-16 will not have chance against İCE.

Also yeah, Argentinian F-16 makes more sense for Germany so I’ll probably start to work on a suggestion for that

This F-16 can use AIM-120s though

Why hasnt been listed on that table then?

İnformation table should be uptaded in that case.

Dunno, but those are AIM-120s unless i’m mistaken

These are Aim-120’s no doubt.

I don’t see why; the UK top tier is going to be the Tornado ADV more likely than not once AMRAAMs come. There wouldn’t be too much of a difference between the ICE and ADV, and the former might have certain advantages over the latter too.

@Panther2995
The F-16 will also receive AMRAAMs when they are introduced. That’s why I hope that AMRAAMs are introduced on platforms such as the Typhoon Tranche 1, F-15 MSIP, Su-27SM/J-11A, etc. because there is f*ck-all a Tornado or F-4F will be able to do against the F-16 or SMT, let alone a JAS-39.

@gRocc0
Especially in terms of armament. The Dutch F-16 uses AMRAAMs and AIM-9X. The Argentine one can as well, but besides training munitions Argentina only operates AIM-9Ms and Aspides. Unless I’m wrong, I’m sure others will correct me if so.

A Dutch F-16? Count me in! 'Though I don’t want it to be added to Germany, GJN has said they wouldn’t add dutch planes there for the near future, so I think a BeNeLux TT would be a more fair place for it. (maybe an Argentinian F-16 for Germany instead?)
