F-16C Barak I armament

I don’t believe the F-16Ds ever used the Derby in active service, afaik they were just mounted on some aircraft for testing, but in the future the IAF made sure to keep all aircraft compatible with Israeli weaponry such as the derbys and pythons, as is stated by the IAF. They should be compatible yes, but they didn’t actively use them afaik.

Also the infamous photos of the F-16D with the Derby are actually of the F-16D Block 30 Barack I, not the F-16D Block 40 Barack II we have ingame lol.

Unfortunately, Gaijin will only delete better AIM120 and give worse Derby, but not Python4 (like F-16D)

23

I didnt say it was in service just that they used them at some point and that point was testing for example.

24

what about 16C derby?

25

It was advertised for it aswell so ig gaijin can add these missiles

IAF is retiring all the F-16C Barak I aircrafts as of July 2024.
F-16I Sufa is the only IAF F-16 that uses AIM-120s. F-16D Barak II is on Derby.

The dorsal Spine is only on the Barak II and Sufa. Besides electronics it contains additional Chaff/Flares. And if the Bug report is finally fixed, we get back the 180 Chaff/Flares which Barak II should have.

GJ can safe the devs time to invest more into the F-16I Sufa, please, rather than a dated F-16C Barak I.

Isn’t that the F-16C Block 40 in the game?

30

Yes

31

i think F16C/D of blk 30 its useless rn in the game
btw in 2020 they made program that upgrdes the F16’s its calld BARAK 2020
edit: the 101 squadron got some

32

I don’t know about the F-16Cs, but I do know only the F-16D Block 30 was ever showcased carrying Derbys, and not a F-16D block 40.

It could be the same case with the F-16Cs.

33

theoretically yes they couold carry derbys (im about the 40s ofc) but remember israel gets the aim 120 to so its better to have aim 120 and derbys idk why gaijin dont want to add this option, and they can block the option to have aim 120 and derbys together, like its make more sense no…?
edit: “together” i mean at the same time!
