F-16C Block 50 should get the AGM-88

I agree, HARMS are supposedly deemed to come next maj update so im ready for what it brings, and my favorite thing for the F-16 is that if it does get HARMS (it very much should) then it would get the AN/ASQ-213 HARM Targeting System (HTS/HTS POD).

i also think gaijin should let us have a realistic variety of TGP’s, like for instance ingame the american F-16’s only have AN/AAQ-33 Sniper TGP’s but irl they can carry that and then they can also carry the AN/AAQ-28 LITENING TGP

I mean would it really though, the C still remains largely a downgrade to the A.

F-16I is at 14.0 and I think the reason behind it is the 120C

Yeah, its painful.

Gaijin somehow thinks the C and D 120s are truly a grand improvement over the A/B, when in reality they are a side grade, if not a direct down grade in most respects.

The 16I really should not be 14.0, same with the PoBit F-16 imo.

16I just got a change to 13.7, meaning my Block 50 should get 120C-5

Yep, quite funny to me that my statement only lasted like 4 days until it changed.

Imo though the C-5 is still just not worth it, would rather get AGM-88s and other ord.

I mean it wouldnt hurt to give it a weapon of its real life ordinance? It can carry both the C and D irl and also every AGM-88 Variant. I js think it would be a good addition

giving it 120C-5 will literally not change a thing.
those are a literal downgrade over 120A/B

D will put it at 14.0 (I think). Considering we have PoBIT at 14.3 with AESA radar and 120D

PoBIT should be 14.0 as it is right now.

F-16C does not need AIM-120D. That would yes, put it at 14.0 and ruin it

Agreed. I did write about this in devblog of the BR changes


Hopefully gaijin does move it to 14.0

What is a 0.3 BR decrease ever do when every match is an uptier

Oh I agree, but gaijin thinks that the C-5 is a great improvement over the A/B, its not at all, and thus, they will probably use it as a excuse to uptier it.

Thus, I don’t want it getting the C-5, I’d rather it get other weapons that wont cause it to be uptiered.

I think it’d be reasonable for progression’s sake something along the lines of

F-16A ADF → AIM-120A
F-16C Blk.50 → AGM-88B/C & 120A/C-5
F-16CM Blk.52 → AGM-88C/E (If gaijin decides to go balls to the wall with ARMs) & 120C-5/D

At least to me that’s pretty reasonable.

I can 100% agree with this. For once, something i can agree with
