these planes should get aim9m’s.

If JF17 can get irccm missiles while having more countermeasures and better RWR at same br there is zero reason why these planes shouldnt get the same treatment.

At 13.3 irccm missiles are essential.

It plays vs the same vics as the f16c

What do.you mean beast at 13.3?

So is it true that the F16I is coming to the game?

I mean, it’s a leak from the guy that has so far gotten like the past 6-7 updates right, so it’s likely.

Plus the F-16I has been a long-time coming

Surely this means they’ll add the python 4 :p

Some max graphics screenshots I took of the F-16C

looking forward to APG-68v9 XD

That’s if gaijin doesn’t copy paste it, I’m working on finding sources on it right now so it has accurate modes, range, strength, angle limits, band, and I need to see if it has NCTR.

If anyone has sources for the AN/APG-68(V)9 tech specs please DM me so I can have the sources and information ready to go should issues arise.

From what I know it’s at least not a copy paste, Gaijin has modelled the APG-68v9, which can be found in the datamine.

Impossible. Don’t you know the stupid Americans definitely didn’t modify their own planes with such a simple upgrade…

What kit does the belgian ocu get? I assume magic 2s, 9ms, amraams like the thai one and maybe hmd?

Watch how Gaijin pretty much ruin the uniqueness of the aircraft by giving it underwhelming representation.

The Belgian MLU still as of today can’t carry missile in its MAW Pod despite can doing so irl.

OCU at 12.7 is a joke it should be 13.0


just look at this loadout.
Ridiculous how this and the f-16 netz are at the same br

Well Mirage 2000 also sits at the same BR, but yeah, it’s honestly nonsense this aircraft sits at 12.7, while the tech tree F-16A is 13.0 CARRYING THE SAME LOADOUT LMFAO

But btw, since Mirage 4000 receiving its Chaff Count, and we’re also receiving OCU, will we finally get the MAW Pod on F-16AM to be capable carrying Missiles?

Was it capable of carrying air to air missile on the pids pylon? All I remember being missing for it was radar hmd

Yes, IMO at least for me, the radar HMD wasn’t such a big deal, I prefer close quarter engagement when using MLU because it turn much faster thanks to weaker engine.

Hey, I’m really sorry for mentioning you, is there any way this report gets forwarded to the dev to considering buffing F-16AM? @WaretaGarasu

Looks like balancing decision

Yeah, but could’ve sit at 14.0 being the sole unique F-16 that have better countermeasure count and MAW, but at the same time it’s still not the AESA F-16. I really wish Gaijin didn’t just abandon Benelux Subtechtree QoL.
