just dropping my 2 cents:
something to remark “the less capable 9X” part its in relation that the Python-4 has a superior overload (70G) for being a non TVC missile but this would only can be acomplished in game if gaijin implements the dual axis manouvrability thing that it was confirmed by smin that its not happening any time soon, in game terms the 9X Block 1 would take the lead in technology and in performance (Maximum G load, kinematics, etc) we can already see this with 9X Block 2 and Python-5, the only way for the Python-5 to surpass in performance the 9X Block 2 is if they introduce dual axis and the variable thrust capability to the Python-5 and we know that this is not happening. Python-4 and 5 cannot archieve its maximum performance because of this it happens the same with the AAM-3 and Magic-2 for example.
9x rn if you put it on a jet its 2x better than the r73
P4 rn despite not being fully capable and missing its proper weight values and fm would still be better than the r73 but not by a big margin
I would imagine it turning like a magic 2 and going at a speed of mach 3 on average or more depending on the drag values
Though dual plane axis would make the missile extremely good
Good evening everyone,
Has anyone actually written a report about the CFTs yet? As they are now, it doesn’t seem entirely accurate to me. Everywhere I’ve read that CFTs are supposed to be quite efficient, both in terms of the additional fuel (I’m of the opinion that they have quite a small capacity in the game) and their minimal impact on flight characteristics. It’s strange that the external tanks are currently supposed to be many times lighter and have less of an impact on flight characteristics than the tanks designed specifically for this purpose. Let’s just say I’m pretty disappointed…

Found an interview with the literal VP and Head of the air and intelligence division at Rafael, Yuval Miller, and he says the SPICE 250 can be mounted on all 4 pylons of the f-16.

Just found another brochure about spice 250 that explicitly state that it can carry 16 SPICE 250.

Rafael brochure = not a source
Any article ever about a random soviet vehicle = Pantsir needs another buff
This is some bias stuff man.

You would need to find a picture of the f16i with 16 and i dont think there is one
He didnt said not a source but he said none of my source didnt say it carry 16 SPICE 250…

I thought a rafael official brochure should be enough to prove.
Yeah find a picture of the actual plane with the 16 spice 250 config
Ik the brochure says the f16 can carry 16 spice 250 but they dont use that configuration at all irl so theres really no point
Plus rn your the only plane with this 10 ir gbu at the br if you bring spice 1000
Gbu 39 uses a different pylon btw its not the same wiring
But tbh if you made a bug report saying that it can carry gbu 39 on the inner pylons since it can that would be nice
With nato stuff most of the time its better to add pictures because they never believe anything
theres already a bug that has been accepted so all we have to do now is wait

Wow that response is just grand. The fact that the name of the table the F-16 is mentioned in is called “Specifications 250 Spice”…
Clearly just an assumption.
The Double standard is PEAK!
Gaijin is going to buff the hell outta the MICA-EM which its already dominates and its the best Fox 3 for 95% of the Situations ( The bug report already accepted its just matter of time)
But, Adding Python4 with Limited Seeker , oh GOD! will break the “Balance” of the game…
OR adding Derby as a second fox3 … god forbid it will break the game OH NO!
This is a JOKE , a BAD ONE!

This isnt how it works
If it can do it then it should have it
Derby is historical tbh
F16i didnt used them
