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.

Can this serve as proof that all F-16s can mount JDAMs on inboard pylons?

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.

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.

Looks like it, plus they didnt even get the Countermeasure count the same. Like Why is it the ONLY F-16 in the game with 15 large caliber flares And its supposed to have 4 dispensers not 2.

Wonder if we could get an event variant F-16 with some experimental ordnance and pylon options like this one;
