Thank you very much bro, in case they added it I would like it to be with the original paint scheme because it is more unique

It’s possible that would be 14.0 BR (Air AB, Air RB & Air SB) and sub tree for israel

I also think that the Chilean F-16C is for 14.0 because it is somewhat better than the current F-16s in the game, especially in terms of radar and weapons. I would like to know more about the Israeli F-16s that have yet to be added, especially the F-16I Sufa

I guess 6x AIM-9L replace with AIM-9X and 6x AIM-120C-5 instead 2x AIM-7M on F-16C Block 50 and decompressing max BR to 14.0 next year

In the future F-16AM MLU from belgium up to 14.0 if AIM-9X replacement 6x AIM-9L

Gajin could add F-16I Sufa early batch at 13.7 BR in the future. But I don’t know Sufa (e) located after F-16D Block 40 Barak II or F-16A Block 10 Netz

I think Python 4 is equivalent to AIM-9X. As I have read, the F-16I Sufa is an F-16D Block 52+ so it would be better than the current Israeli F-16, although I think it would go along the lines of the F-16 Barak II since it is also two-seater, so the Chilean F-16 Block 50M is a variant that Israel does not have.

Probably after the Barak II, since its a heavily modified F-16D block 52 at its base and used primarily for strike/multirole mission

Was this upgraded by Chile? If so, the only place it should be is in either a South American tech tree or the US tree…if it was upgraded by Israel, then it can go there maybe, if they don’t have their own F-16 equivalents

There is a proposal to make a Chilean subtree in the Israel tree, as Chile operates a lot (but not only) of jets built or upgraded by Israel

So. The planes from nations that are not ingame and their planes are built by the U.S go to the U.S TT of course if any country needs it it can have it

Well, it has Israeli weapons such as the Python 4 air-to-air missiles, Griffin and Opher laser-guided bombs, there are not many F-16s that use the Python 4 as their main armament so it would fit well in Israel, after all of this weapons were adapted to be launched on the Chilean F-16 by Israeli companies since they are not compatible with the F-16 by default. They also use the JHMCS (Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System) from Elbit systems.

F-16C Block 50M carrying 4 AIM-120C7 missiles during the glories of the Chilean army on September 19, 2024. This is a fact not seen before in Chile since it is the first time that a Chilean F-16 is seen showing the public more than 2 of these missiles at the same time

I also share a photo of an AIM-120C from Chile, in case anyone had doubts that Chile has this missile and not another version.

Update:

  • I added more information about the specific variant of the Chilean F-16 Block 50, this being the Advanced or Plus (+) variant, I also added additional information about the radar.

Some media call the F-16 Block 50 as M, I was investigating and apparently it has to do with the fact that it has an additional electronic warfare system AIDEWS but I am not 100% sure that is why it is called M or what the I think it could be Modernized but if anyone knows anything about that I would greatly appreciate it.

Today I got these images of an F-16C Block 50M or Plus that has a GBU-54/B LJDAM laser-guided bomb. I didn’t have that armament in my list of options for the Chilean F-16s, so it was a surprise to discover it, so I will add it to the aircraft specifications in the suggestion. In the game, the same bomb can be found on the German and British Eurofighters, American F/A-18C Late and on the German Tornado.

Does this F-16 blk 50+ have a rwr that can detect K band?

It’d be nice to see those pesky K-band radars when they lock me :D

Unfortunately not, it has the AN/ALR-56M E-J band RWR. I know this because I analyzed photos of the RWR and they look the same as the standard Block 50 in the game. The only difference would be that the Chilean F-16 Block 50+ also has the ALQ-211 (V)4 AIDEWS ECM antenna on the back along with the parachute, which would be very useful in the game since it interferes with radar signals from ground vehicles, planes or missiles, sadly Gaijin has not yet added this capability.
