It’s going to be trash like every US plane that gets added…It will be a high BR with subpar weapons and performance. Mark my words.

That’s not even true
I mean the latter part isn’t true, but there is some truth to the first bit.
The F-16XL is very much at Gaijin’s mercy. If they add it at 14.0 it’s going to be nothing more than food for the Rafale, AESA EFTs and Su-30SM2.

I’d bet it’ll be a 13.3 premium with AMRAAM

Was it able to actually use AMRAAM?
It could carry them, although I think those are mockups I think. I honestly cannot find any good sources talking about what it’s radar is
I think XLs had F-16A systems installed, but if they went into production they would’ve allegedly had F-16C systems or something along those lines

What why would they even add it above 12.7 or even 13.0 with IRCCM? 🤦♂️😂
its basically a worse f-16c. Carries same amount of mavericks, though it gets 2 more hardpoints with tip winders when carrying full air to air with full mav loadout
All it’s AGM-65 can be heavy ones.

well, 65F/Gs aren’t that good either, the warheads tend to be hit or miss and even then it sacrifice a lot of speed for that.
If it gets placed anything above 12.0, it’ll be a mid CAS aircraft like the F-16C and most likely worse than it. Mavericks pretty much get hard countered by any competent spaa player around this BR.
I want it to be an event vehicle so everyone can get it and not need to play.
Maybe the summer event.
Or next winter event.

No! Events are ridiculously demanding and require u to play WT like a job.
NO!!!
I know Gajjin is targeting me for my user name, I just can’t prove it.

Not really. Not if you use the right strategy, vehicle, etc. Can knock the 40k out in no time. Saying that, I don’t want it to be an event vehicle, either. It’s not quirky or interesting enough to be one.

Perhaps the events are easy under the right circumstances and probably more than an hour a day. That is NOT me

For me playing War Thunder events feel nice it lets me play for hours atime and for the R400 event I got 13 nukes while grinding it.
True, they do require more than an hour a day. But if you’re working that much that you don’t even have that time, probably better to just buy the vehicle, lol. One thing I like about the events are they get me to play modes I don’t typically play (such as ARB), so I actually grind and unlock vehicles I otherwise wouldn’t. The event vehicle is often just a side reward.
I CANT play hours a time like a sweatlord, I’d have top tier and way more than 1900 battles played if I could — trust me
