What have they specifically said it wont have from a PoBIT though? Smin just says if it’s not mention in the devblog it doesn’t currently have it. He’s just avoiding committing to features that aren’t yet live.
The CPDU? The cockpit hasn’t been shown at all. Model might simply not be finished so it can’t be said the model currently has it - but from what I’ve seen, BVVD said in the Russian stream that it will have a new cockpit.
JHMCS/Scorpion? Devblog says it has a HMD without specifying what system it’s modelled after
Other parts of PoBIT are the SLEP, which isn’t anything that will concern War Thunder, and the new IVEWS system which isn’t even on operational USAF aircraft yet.
Perhaps a major thing that’s missing is an IRST21 pod. But even for the F/A-18F they haven’t shown if/how it works in the devstream, and never even mentioned it in the original devblog - it just happened to be there in the renders, and we assume it will be there and working by the time of the update.
So the same applies to the Aus Super Bug - it’s not really written about in the devblog or talked about the streams because it doesn’t currently have IRST21. Smin wont confirm or deny it will come with IRST21
And how the new F-16 currently still hasn’t been shown to have PIDS/PIDSU which would be a helpful addition. But that’s not a PoBIT or Block thing - it’s an ad-hoc operational fit that goes back to Block 30.
PIDS should be on the plain F-16C too - there’s a ticketed suggestion for it on the regular F-16C. If PIDS is under consideration for the vanilla F-16C then it’s wouldn’t be worth mentioning in a dev blog for the Block 52/PoBIT as a specific new feature of that plane anyway.
None the less, the current lack of it is a concern.
