F-16A OCU (Belgium)

The Belgian F-16A OCU Squadron vehicle on the Dev Server

With the new upcoming update “Tusk Force”, France has recieved a rank VIII squadron vehicle, the F-16A OCU (operation capability upgrade, done by the Belgian company SABCA). The variant we see in-game is a prototype used by SABCA (Société Anonyme Belge de Constructions Aéronautiques) to trial Matra Magic II missiles and AS-30L Air-to-surface Missiles. This discussion is a place to ask about its armament and talk about bugs or inconsistencies found in its current implementation on the dev server.

Loadouts


This is the current dev server loadout, which consists of the munitions SABCA used during their trials.

One point of contention with this loadout is the fact that there are no standard Belgian Air Force air-to-ground munitions. Only the SABCA trialed/prototyped munitions are currently available (AIM-9L, AIM-9M, Matra R550 Magic 2 and the AS-30L Nord).

The strange thing is that one of the miners found in the files a varied implementation of air-to-ground weapons, in addition to the AIM-102A, which Gaijin intends to add to this aircraft. From what I can see, if this variety of weapons is added, the F-16A OCU will rise in battle rating to at least 13.3.

My question to aircraft experts is: If it is a test base, have the following weapons been tested on this platform?
