It will still be a very decent 13.7 F-16AM, just not the best one at 13.7 anymore.

i would rather want it to stay a single seater as i like the single seat f-16 design much more,
and it would handicap performance for no real good reason.

Yeah, I’m aware, there are pictures of Dutch F-16’s trialing it. However it seems like they were not on all F-16AM’s, only on the OCU. Maybe they could change the F-16’s name or model?

From what I’ve heard from you, it seems to be worse than any 13.7 and more akin to 13.3 ADF / MLU + possible 9m
It’s still certainly above the 13.3 F-16. The radar will still have the much needed TWS options. Only if you want more countermeasures or defensive tools you’ll be left out (just like the US F-16C currently is).
In essence it will be worse than the Belgian one, but more comparable to the US or certainly the Taiwanese one. Both of those are still decent at 13.7.
(And yeah, I believe 9M will definitely stay on it)
Oh, I didn’t know that. I would prefer it to remain an MLU, since that variant is more modern and advanced compared to the OCU. Given that the Netherlands already had those bombs in inventory, I think it’s sufficient for Gaijin to assign them to the MLU eventhough there is a chance they dindt carry them as gaijin is quite loose with arnement options.
Also, could you clarify something for me? The Dutch used the JHMCS helmet, what is considered worse than scorpion, does it still provide helmet-mounted targeting capabilities as i find those the most important.

Yeah, exactly. Gaijin could choose to make the differences négligeable in order to make it more equal.
I will be looking out for the next Dev server or the update itself.

yea i expect them to do something like that.
Also lastely, could you clarify something for me? as you seem more knowledgable on the topic,
The Dutch used the JHMCS helmet, I know it’s worse than scorpion, does it still provide helmet-mounted targeting capabilities as to my knowledge it does and i find that the most important feature.
For War Thunder it should give the ability to slave your Fox-2’s to your helmet yeah.
Not sure about the radar… Would have to look into it.
