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

Can’t even get new CAS munitions. the devs are truly doing this to rage bait people at this point.

AESA on US Block52 should be lighter than mechanical scanning one, the mass of APG-66/68 is relatively available, while there’s little intel on APG-83

The Countermeasure loadout seems ro have changed from 120x standard to 60x standard+30x large

potential MAW for the f-16C blk 52
upvote so gaijin mods actually see it

last one got closed due to lack of information, opened this one to add more.

It’s also still missing GPS munitions on the inboard pylons for “‘some reason’”

when will we see a block 30 F16s the 30s are best of both i believe as they have the boosted engines without to much weight like the F16C block 50

Just saw a report on ALR-69A
So K band and spherical detection is possible?

Should be yeah. Also the report being linked to an internal report could be a good sign they are looking into it.

What hmd is new F-16 block 52 using?

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/4W2g7QT3A6c9

Triple racks

It was denied

6 missiles…
So what’s the point of still holding PIDSU back?

wow, another example of how US tree needs a different standard of evidence

there is more evidence for existence and compatibility of this on F16s than other rack types in game, eg. dual pylons on EFT, dual pyons on su27 and su30, and now dual pylons on J15, all of which have less supporting evidence than these triple pylons for the F16

I wish Gaiijn was consistent on this precedent.

And totally not just because I want Izd. 177 on a ton of Flankers.

There are photos of the pylons existing on the Flankers case (not on 27SMs and stuff, I know, but at least we know they exist with the puspose of mounting R77s and are compatible with SU 27 family), and documents of them being available and in storage for the Eurofighter ones if I’m not mistaken - false, there’s an MFD page from a simulator. Still, better than a render or a “planned” upgrade imo.

The ones on the F16 are pure concepts. Just like the Rafale with the 12 MICAs mounted on it that was in a suggestion back in the day.

I agree that the F16 they’re adding is a fluke top-tier wise, but if we start adding stuff from pure concepts, then it’s gonna get messy really quick.

Just focus on making the 120D a good missile by finding actual numbers if any are available, and all the other stuff the PoBIT should have.

It’s crazy to me that the PoBIT is gonna be 2 steps higher than the F-2A while basically just being a F-16C with AESA and worse close range missile performance.

no there are not, the only evidence is a an MFD screen in a simulator designed to represent a hypothetical future EFT

Every time I see stuff like this, I always think of the standard they used for giving LDIRCM and JAGM to non v4.5 and v6s

never shouldve happened tbh, they artificially buff other countries with US stuff and nerf the actual US stuff

They also nerfed PW229 when F16I came out
