Yeah someone mentioned its been changed, thats good news!
They will probably add those on another f16, they often limit the vehicles’s original characteristics and then release other variants with them to keep people grinding. But who knows? Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
I mean… I could be wrong, but its likely very VERY easy to implement. The code for the function already exists on the A-10C’s HMD in-game, theoretically they’d just need to copy paste the missing section of code.
Could also be wrong and its more complex, but I have a suspicion its more of a balance thing than a implementation thing.
btw, some F-16s are flying with same HMD as A-10C
Ik but there are stuff that are missing for many vehicles that are easy to implement but yet they refuse to, they usually give the “balance” excuse, my favorite example is the IR missiles:
F14A still have 9Hs when it should have 9Ls
F14B still have 9Ls when it should have 9Ms
F16A still have 9Ls when it should have 9Ms
MIG29 still have r60s when it should have R73s
Ironically it would be even better for balance because they would probably need to raise their BRs, saving 3rd gen aircraft from facing them… The only reason i can imagine for that is extending the grind.

From what I understand “SADL” is/was a US AF-only system for A-10 and F-16C and some non-fighter platforms (I.e. even F-15E was/is not compatible with it).
Not sure if Mirage 2000D RMV had a similar datalink system for communication with ground units …
A quick google search suggests that it has Link 16, and if so one could assume that it has such capability when paired with Scorpion HMD which we know has the ability to show friendly units on other platforms such as A-10C.

Hey @WaretaGarasu can you bump these report to the developer? It would be delightful if you could. F-16AM is needed a some love to make it relevance in the Benelux Sub Tech Tree.

I made a report about the F-16AM RWR display being wrong.
The current RWR has a strange IP-1310 display that doesn’t even show the grid, but if this report passes it will be changed to a different display than the F-16s in other countries.

It’s more than just the JDAM, the BRU-61 (GBU-39/A), AGM-65 (LAU-117) and other stores that require -1760 wiring for example would also be theoretically possible.
Though a potential response is that the Blocks implemented in game that can mount them do not do so in service due to the semi-permanent presence of Fuel tanks on those stations since they don’t have the CFTs that are an option to extend the range.
It should also additionally support a few other reports like this one;

I’m sure there are others.
Pls Gaijin buff the F-16AM, I really wish I can carry the PIDS with AMRAAM.
They supposedly fixed the issue with trying to lock targets at high angles not working;

This happened to me today in Tornado F.3 ADV, hopefully it will be global fix and not per aircraft’s radar.
I’ll forward to a tech mod that this is an issue and see if they want a report or if they can inform the devs internally.
What is up with the new Thai F-16A, because ive never heard of an APG-66S radar
Also, im still not sure if the OCU program actually gave upgrades to the APG-66 radar to fire Aim-120s. A lot of conflicting info im finding.
And also, this Doc is free for distribution.

Do you have the F-16A OCU? I want to confirm the bug with APG-66S not being identified on RWR and not triggering SARH launch warnings.
Bug Report: Su-33 and F-16A OCU are not identified on RWR and their launches do not trigger a warning.
