F-16-Almost never fly without an Outboard fuel tank or an Outboard EW container …
Also, for example, there is One photo of the MiG-23MLD with the R-13M1 missile and Two photos with the R-73 …
Also don’t forget that General Dynamics is the general contractor for Mk.82 bombs…
Nevertheless…

why is the AIM-9 pylon so ‘bulky’?
But he literally posted a primary source? That isn’t his ‘word’ that’s the USAF.
Just because a picture is hard to find doesn’t mean its impossible.
It’s part of various fleet’s modernization plans and contains towed decoy(s)
other modifications to the various wing stations include
PIDS, which adds another 3x CM dispensers per wing
and a later variant which incudes a Missile launch warning system
Guess it’s not final
Hopefully soon they’ll update instructor so they can make it fully unstable and properly model deep stalls / departures.
Like you pointed before, they would wait till the update to make some changes, hopefully we’ll se more fixes.

Good to see the early block F-16s finally preforming as expected on dev, they handle like a dream now without bricking up like they used to at high speeds.
They are already doing this, flight models changed on previous patch.
You need to catch up.
I take it you haven’t flown the F-16As on dev yet then, its night and day from live right now with their overall performance, and I expect a lot of salt from Mig-29 players on live when they realize how different the early F-16s handle now.
The C is still about the same but has a bit more pointing power now than live.
Oh yeah, and the F-16AJ is just something else in it’s entirety now, its crazy.
tested rn and apparently it’s sustaining a bit less compared to live, it’s a liiiiiiiiitle worse now in 2C fights but nothing spectacular. Let’s wait till the next week to see if they’ll change more stuff
There is no major changes for flight model in dev server right now.
All datamines shows they did some little tweaking to flight model which should nerf it little bit.
Currently F-16’s are busted against anything in this game right now and A versions are even better then C and D model in most cases.
İts obvious you either never flew with F-16 on current Live server or you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Also not just Mig29’s players but all other nations are salty because of how F-16’s overperforms right now.

Yeah, any perception it was “improved” especially in air RB is just not correct. The FM changes reduced stability and made it less like a UFO. Should have a harder time at high AoA and in harder time recovering from spins.

Yup, thanks for the proper explanation.
And one nation still overperform in overall and yet those same overperform nation can’t handle F-16 overperform seem funny to me

Russia causing problems on ground rb, on the other hand F-16 causing problems on both air and ground rb.
Not to mention if Israel and Usa teams up nothing can stop them at ground rb because of how powerful F-16C and D models are right now.
Just because you want to see Russia suffer in ground rb doesnt mean other nations should also suffer.
That why ground RB also air need NATO and all western alliance on the same team and put Russia and China on the same team well i think we should stop it getting off topic
But i dont see any official NATO vs Warsaw Pact in here.
Besides this doesnt change the fact that F-16 is busted and its flight model should be changed.
Your hate for Russia preventing you from thinking logical.

it’s going to be the beatstick going forward, all nations have airframes that blow it out of the water, there is a reason why they went from the F-16A-15ADF to the F-16C-50+ in such short order, and skipped over at least four potential variants that would have could have delayed the rate that the meta (blocks; -10, -25, -40, -50, etc.) advanced and further been interspersed with other airframes to slow things further.
Let it have it’s time in the sun. You really won’t have to wait long either considering that it is known that Fox-3s are going to propagate with the December patch, and the F-16 going to really struggle unless they add towed decoys, PIDS dispensers, ECM pods and the AIM-9R or -9X.
You probably right about it but don’t get me wrong I don’t hate them because they are Russian
