I was just saying it would be interesting. Not that they should add it.
It wouldn’t be considering Japan didn’t tested nor participated in any development phase.
We don’t need another AJ situation.
yes.
so it would be interesting.
but they should not add it.
like i said.

Dude.
It’s in the exact same message.
“The combination of F110 engine and LNSI gave XL-2 the the ability to Super-cruise”
Interesting I wonder if it needed to use AB to brake M1 then could cruise and at what speed
I’m not sure. But I’d assume it’d be at least around Mach 1.10 (purely just based on assumption.), since they also upgraded the engine afterwards from the 110 to the 129.

Real question is can it supercruise with actual combat loadout?
Because if it can supercruise with clean configuration only then it doesnt mean much.
That’s another good question because a lot of jets can technically supercruise clean
Like the F-15 with the upgraded engines could do like 1.05 at high altitude but they where restricted to 1.0
With any missiles on she’s got about .95-.97 in her.
Not sure.
In an air to ground configuration? unlikely.
But with those partially submerged AMRAAMs? Maybe, since the wing would be clean other wise, aside from 9Ls on the wingtip.
Same goes for JAS39A/C.
Both Gripen models can supercruise with low fuel/ 4 missiles or 50 percent fuel with clean configuration while E model can do it with much higher fuel+ combat loadout.

Thats the thing that made me consider but since its an F-16 I didn’t even thought it could supercruise in the first place.
I’d assume it can super cruise with an Air to Air loadout.
Judging the source it will most likely, hopefully it can recieve Aim-9M’s at 13.3.
Unlikely, since it was only ever planned to use AIM-9Ls.
Both missile shares same wiring and rails thus there is nothing to stop from Gaijin to add 9M’s to XL if they want to.
The F-16XL should not get the AIM-9M, as it never carried, nor was it intended to carry them.
Even giving the XL AMRAAMs is a far stretch, since it only ever flew with wooden mockups.
Like Yak-141/ Mıg29G that never recieved R27ER/ET’s irl?
Its much better proof than certain prototypes that functions perfectly in this game.
I don’t know where you’re getting the idea that the Yak-41 wasn’t planned to use R-27Es, but it most definitely was.
In fact if we’re going off proposals, Yak-41 needs it’s R-77.
This is true, East German MiG-29s didn’t use R-27E’s, and they should be removed.
We don’t need another Kh-38 thread.
