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

Patience, young padwan.

Well when you fly a predetermined route to the centre of the map and fly in a circle/in a general area, sure…

It’ll surely be “interesting” in Sim (yay, iron dome meta lives!).

F-15EX will be introduced at the same time as the Su35 I am guessing, by then it will be DoA considering the state of the AIM-120Ds. It’s just gonna be a slightly faster F-15CGE with a few more AMRAAMs.

Wdym Just UAE? A dozen other countries have upgraded to 70/72 standards, or have brand new planes from the production lines from the last couple of years, Slovakia, Taiwan, South Korea, Turkey & Greece.

UAE is the only one who operates Block 60 F-16s.

Internal FLIR and laser designator, so no need for targeting pod.

Radar is “similar” (in that it’s AESA) to the AN/APG-83, but is higher powered (higher detection range).

UAE F-16E/F uses GE F110-GE-132 engines, which make the PW-229 or GE-129 engines look… well, weak (but not by much, just… you know, ~1,300 kgf 😅).

In WT terms, it would be the best F-16, period.

(After your edits @MeanBROSofD72805 ):

The Block 60 is the one and only “Super F-16” in existence today. It predates the Block 70/72s.

The Block 60 is essentially the UAE simply throwing money at something for maximum effect. It was a custom modification from start to finish, they simply provided funding (and exclusivity, hence why no other country has it although there was a possibility of this happening before with India & Brazil). Think of it like the F-22 and F-35, except if Congress hadn’t banned the export of the F-22. One is super expensive, the other not so much so is more attractive to buyers.

Thanks for the response on the bug report, will keep any eye out for the LAU-128SE!

South Korean F-16’s have AGM-84H, could the PoBIT possibly get them?

So long as South Korea hasn’t modified their F-16’s specifically for AGM-84H then by Gaijin’s rule of technical compatibility then maybe. Depends on the devs to care enough.

Are there any reports about AGM-84 range and warhead performance?

Only reports that haven’t been denied are.

[DEV] AGM-84H/K - Maximum Range

[DEV] AGM-84H/K - Weight incorrect

F15-E Missing AGM84 (SLAM-ER)

It will be interesting if the F-15E report is accepted then it should mean theres a case for an F-16 report to be accepted too.

Generic glide bomb icons, we got 250, 500, 1000, and 2000lb, 250kg 500kg, 1500, weight class so far, of course some of these would be lumped in.

Does that take into account channel loss and bench and installed power?

Is PIDS+ capable of carrying JSOWs?
Since it’s using the same sack that carries dual JDAMs, which is compatible with PIDS+

That’s uninstalled/bench. Even if installed it’ll still be more than what current F-16C have

Maybe single carriage, that dual pylon looks chunky
