F-16C-PoBIT/F-16V History, Performance & Discussin

Problem is that airframe is a F-16D Block 52, so would probably be rejected since similarly

F/A-18E != F/A-18F

92-3926

But there are definitely other F-16s that have similar capability

Hi since we got the PoBIT, the RWR on it (AN/ALR-69A(V) ) should have 360 degree coverage while in game it only got Front Rear ± 45 degree coverage which missing the top and bottom coverage right now.

Also the flare/chaff dispenser model on blk 50 and the blk 52 (PoBIT) are the same but in dev server it is set to 120 normal and 30 big + 60 normal is there any chance that those problem will be fixed?

Its weird, I feel like they’re not commenting on this because its more of a balancing issue since we’re adding two more Aim120D. I think the devs are forgetting how they didn’t make the D good and how they gave su30 and typhoons 2 more missiles they shouldn’t really have. Gaijin, it’s an f16, give it two more missiles it won’t break the game like BMPT did. However maybe its because the bug report involves fixing other f16 and thats why…

I mean you’re not taking more AIM-120s than without the pylon it just would give you the same amount so I don’t see how it would be that bad of a balancing issue if anything this would be a positive thing as maybe it would be the increase in US win rate there looking for since no other top tier US aircraft (other than the strike aircraft) currently have a MAW.

It will give the new F-16C a needed boost (more CMs and MAW) to actually stay at 14.3 and it would give both F-16AMs some actual upsides over the 13.7 F-16C to compensate for their downsides.

Seems like a win-win situation for 3 nations, I don’t see a single truely negative aspect for this change.

Yeah the Norwegian F-16AM is in dire need of this change with its 45 internal CMs.

dev server can close any time in the next two days, is there any new information to add to this bug report. We need to get this passed at all cost

Not rlly anything left to add

i will be surprised if this goes through now, belgian and norwegian F16AM’s have been waiting for 1-2 years to equip missiles on PIDS

Well now would be the time as now we have US mains joining in on the bug report and the “new” f-16 has it on dev and it seems they only fix these kinda issues when dev is open.

OOF suggestion? If Gaijin doesn’t fix it this update then it proves that even with more people asking they won’t do it. Maybe when the April stats for the F16 pobit drop then Gaijin will give them the extra AMRAAMS like Gaijin gave F15C GE amber racks later

Nearing the top of the list and not a word from anyone at Gaijin…

Shocked to see so many reports about PoBIT on the list
