So it came to my attention that Gaijin has 2 innaccuracies and dont come for me for sticking out but the F-16C Block 50 or any jet ingame that has the F110 GE 129 engine is messed up, the engine while afturburner or idle/off should look like this
I also hope they can add the AIM-9X to the F-16C Block 50 (when it comes) along with the AIM-120C-5 (yes i know its a “downgrade” okay just let me talk). The now 13.7 F-16I has the AIM-120C-5 so theoretically the Block 50 F-16C thats at 13.7 should get it aswell, and btw i cropped this for yall but here is a photo of an F-16CM Block 50 from the 20th FW in South Carolina that i took myself that was carrying an AIM-120C and AIM9X
(yes ik its inert but still). and then the AGM-88C should be added (can carry up to 4)
And along with the AGM-88 ofc we should get the AN/ASQ-213 HTS Pod
And then i think we should be allowed to carry the AN/AAQ-28 aswell, no need to not let us carry it i guess but since the AAQ-33 came out yall took the AAQ-28, why not be able to have both and switch them out?
120C sure, since F-16I is at 13.7 now, however 9X, no. There is no way gaijin will allow F-16C with 9X at 13.7. It would literally be at top tier. We have F-16CM PoBIT which would get 9X
Yes the sniper/litening pod “no dual TGP” issue makes me sad.
The sniper is a flat downgrade compared to the litening for most CAS usage due to the higher minimum zoom.
Adding the AN/ASQ-213 HTS Pod would be so useful. Especially because it allows you to upload GPS coords to bombs. It would actually justify taking the pobit compared to the super hornet or strike eagle for CAS.
The i was talking about the AN/ASQ-213 in correction about the AGM-88 HARM being added soon to the F-16CM Block 52. And maybe just hopefully the Block 50. But would be an amazing addition because you have many ARS Modes on it and it can help you locate where SAM’s are so you can fire off a harm and say magnum
You are not missing much. In the F-16I at most I only bring 1. But they would be a bit more useful in the block50 because it has a better engine and can reach higher and faster speeds to make use of them at range.
The photograph I provided is how it’s modeled in-game.
How it is when off may not matter, and definitely doesn’t matter for anything outside of looking in the hangar.
However, the anti-animal cover for the exhaust is designed for it to be in the compressed position, which it is in-game and in the alamy photo.
