What we could do is add the Block 10, Italy had 4 of them, they didn’t have any SARH or ARH missiles, but it would be a good excuse to give the ADF AMRAAMS, since it’s always the second aircraft in rank 7 that gets the Fox-3 in any nation. So we’d put the Block 10 after the F-104S.ASA and then move the ADF up.
Like this:
They are not the same at all. the Italian ADFs were a lend lease in the 2000s (Peace Caesar), they were heavily modified from the base ADF having TWS, amraam (no sparrow capability, the guiding system was removed before arriving in italy), aim-9l/i-1. In game the italian ADF is historically inaccurate, it’s known since its introduction. if you base your knowledge on warthunder you should first check wether is a WT-frankenstein or a real thing.
this comment is beyond stupid. sorry. at 13.0 the ADF has no potential and to playability, moreover it would go to 13.3 not 13.7
I could potentially see it going to 13.7 if the new AIM120Cs come out and it receives them which gives it the edge in terms of weapons over F16C although if it’s just AIM120A then 13.3 will be sufficient, even 13.0 will be okay since J8F holds PL12, a great radar, rwr, HMD, PL8 (python 3) and the HMD will make compensation for less manoeuvrable making them the same BR would make sense especially as even if getting down tiered the IRIAF F14 will still be superior in terms of range.
If it recieves AIM-120B or C-5 like suggested?
That’s 13.7 14.0 instantly.
AIM-120B are slightly but no different to A variants and F-16C with AIM-120A’s sits at 13.7
AIM-120C-5 aren’t in the game, and are fairly better than current → 14.0 instant.
AIM-9L/i are giving IRCCM, which is already the reason why the belgian F-16A is sitting 13.3 (AIM-9M)
So it would instantly go 13.7/14.0
And for the rest of your commentary, you’ve failed to see that i was speaking of in-game experience, due to having the exact same experience from the US one, as they’re the same in-game wise.
(As the thread author was judging my in-game experience, saying i didn’t own the Italian ADF)
Tbh, J-8F is clearly subpar radar wise.
And PL-12 are considered worst missiles in all Fox-3 available in the game.
What are you talking about? J8F has a radar comparable to that of F16 as it is constructed in 2003, PL12 is among the best ARH missiles just shy of AIM120, the acceleration is still a bit broken but other wise it is pretty on par with AIM120.
The j8’s radar is fine, and the pl12’s are also fine. The worst fox 3 is the r77.
Unfortunately, our request doesn’t get addressed, no response in the feedback thread about Italian F-16ADF, instead it gets br change as other F-16s.
Now there is even less hope that Gaijin will listen to Italian community.
PS Ariete and Ariete PSO get RoF increase to keep them at high br, first DM53, next RoF, they can’t just get lower br… I’ll never understand Gaijin’s decisions.
