China has received a new F-16, the F-16A MLU with the V upgrade (Viper of the Block 70 program). In fact, it’s not a Block 70 F-16 but an updated Block 20, and this could cause some problems with the sensors and engines for its BR of 14.3
(F-16D Block 70)
The fact that we don’t have the F-16C Block 70s that Taiwan received in 2025 means we’re missing out on the GE-129 engine and better sensors, some of which are located on the vertical stabilizer. I’m not going to talk about the Viper Shield, an EW system found on the Block 70s, because the game doesn’t implement its mechanical aspects (the J-15T has a similar internal EW system).
The problem is that we’re going to have an F-16V Block 20 that’s potentially heavier than the F-16A, but still with the old PW-220 engine in 14.3
I think Gaijin should have given us the F-16C Block 70 directly, which would be a direct equivalent to the F-16C PoBit
