some were tested on block 40/42 airframes but its mainly block 50 and above
Quite annoying how the new f-16 for sweden also only gets ir hmd and not radar hmd like the belgian one…
If we were allowed to use the f-16 tapes, then this could easily be reported using primary source manuals, but theyre export restricted…
How the hell is the F-16I still lighter than the F-16C block 50? This is a joke, no way a twin seater with CFTs should somehow be lighter, even if it was based on an F-16A…
The Norwegian F-16 is pretty much the copypaste from the Belgian F-16 btw, the only big differences is the CAS Loadout and HMD UI.
Considering the upgraded avionics, backseat and the addition of dorsal spine, the Sufa should be heavier than a normal Block50/52 despite the reduction of internal fuel.
Is it too light or the Block50 heavier than it should be?
I’m personally prone to the former.

Annoying how the swedish f-16 gets only 45 cms when the belgian f-16 gets the exact same model (also has 45 cm dispensers on the physical model itself) but it has 120 cms in game for some reason

Does anyone have any high definition photos of the belly of the Norwegian F-16AM?
Report for Scorpion for Belgian F-16AM since nobody made one in that time

somebody should also do one for norwegian because it currently has elbit targo instead of JHMCS

hopefully they will be nice (or sorta insane) and let the f16c take 12 mavs (its not like they are good enough this would be too big of an issue)
the inner pylons can definitely take the weight, and it looks like there is plenty of clearance
but even just adding agm 130 there would be a big upgrade
And the inner pylons are also tested with 4*HARM configuration, that could be a useful loadout in warthunder when ARMs arrive

It would just be able to carry a single additional AGM-65 per pylon, like the Thai F-16 OCU can carry 8 in total, along with other things like GBU-31, and most importantly, 8 additional GBU-39 and GBU-53 (when added) like the F-16I Sufa should be able to.
The sweedish one is also more modern IRL
The Belgian and Norwegian* F-16AMs were born from the same modernization program, they are for all intents and purposes, identical irl

and still dont have Radar HMD because Gaijin
yet one has radar hmd and one doesn’t.
Irl they both have it
I’m kind of surprised I haven’t seen renewed calls for SADL to be added to the F-16C since the EFT received HMD IFF
F-16C missing SADL
Its still sitting around as a “suggestion” despite 2 airframes within the F-16C’s BR range (Rafale F3R and Eurofighters) now having access to a TDL function like SADL provides
I guess it doesn’t effect air RB players though, so that’s probs why nobody cares
