Yes, but the lack of CMs (Or the AAQ-8 IRCM pod) make the F-4C in particular awkward to balance. I think the best way forward would be to replace it at a higher BR with the F-4D and alter stores availability as needed to make it stable at 10.3 ~ 10.7.
If a lower BR US F-4 was needed, either implement the F-110A or F-4B to avoid a gap.
Operationally yes, but it was tested on FSD #2, so could be implemented the same way since there aren’t massive changes between the F-16A-1 through -10 configuration.
They are missing a massive number of potential ordnance & stores options, even if restricted to only those that only saw service. Its weird that some items like the Sparrow seem to get a free pass and was added to the US airframes even though it was only ever done on test articles and the -15ADF in service, and its likely that the Block 50 (especially with the configuration (circa 2006) we have in game) doesn’t retain the software since the AMRAAM has superseded it. and yet things like the PIDS+ will be unique to the French -15AM even though it was reported and properly sourced.
This amount of completely unwise suggestions that makes the game significantly worse as a whole and has already ruined for example british ground and all mig29 is really stupid
It both makes it objectively worse since those vehicles now have to rely purely on their equipment (stock) and makes the whole tree less interesting as a whole.
No the equipment currently placed on all planes is actually well balanced for needs of a tree and game (outside of aforementioned mig29) the only plane that should probably get upgrade is one of the spey phantoms (so they are not exactly the same - also fix their modification tree)
I disagree, it makes sense to me for these early 4th gen to get their classic loadouts, 80s mig29 without r73 and early f16 without aim9m seems just incomplete and wrong. Imo it also doesn’t make late planes less interesting because those will get fox3 missiles and better radars, which will be way more relevant now that hugging to the ground won’t be that efficient anymore.
Kind of a burning question I’ve had relating to a hyper-specific variant of the F-16C:
Supposedly, a few early-production C Block 30s still retained the smaller intake of the F-16A/B (including all of the F-16Ns used by the USN/USMC for adversarial work). Were any of these ever upgraded with better weaponry/equipment throughout their service life while maintaining the smaller intake, or was it replaced by the more standard larger intake for the F110-powered Vipers?
(It’s a variant I’d really want to see in-game lol)
Should the F-16AM have radar HMD slaving? Having trouble finding info for it. Also equipping the PIDS+ pylons does some funky stuff with the radar, specifically TWS. Is this expected?
TISEO for the F4E in the US tree (it’s currently only on the Kurnass 2000.) Would be kinda difficult to balance (but also incredibly funny) if gaijin gave it the ability to have radar locks slave to it.
CAA mode for the F4E’s radar (basically like a worse version of MTI that filters from a set list of preset radar contacts)
the ability to carry 4x sidewinders and 2 mavericks on the same pylon (only the F4F in the german TT can do that)
The AIM-54C’s smokeless motor
AIM-26/AIM-4 Falcon
Early f16s got 13.0 Br while early mig29s 12.7, while the fulcrum fm sucks compared to the Viper, It has the r27er which is much more relevant for the meta.
What is gaijin thinking? Why can’t they remove the r27er from the mig29 and give it r73s? F16 with sparrows at such a high Br while its countrrpart gets much better radar missiles is wrong and unfair af.
yeah the F-4E in the US tech tree is a mess. It has the GBU-15V TV bomb and was only able to be used on DMAS (Digital Modual Avionics Suit) Phantoms.
Also from what research ive done, All DMAS phantoms had TISEO. Ive never seen or heard of a DMAS F-4E without TISEO.
I’m talking about the indicators for my own fox-3s, like when they go active (the lines). In sim atleast, they don’t show up on the f16c. But on most other aircraft they do
I doubt a long time ago would be F-4E from Block 49 or Block 53 in 1970 or 1979
In my opinion, F-4E in USA tech tree from 70’s before GBU-15(V)1/B bomb service 4 years
Ah, I think F-4E from USA tech tree lack TISEO and DMAS (Digital Modual Avionics Suit), so remodel F-4E for third major update or fourth major update this year
