You understand the F16C is flown by more than half the countries in game right?
USA, Germany (through Denmark or Belgium, Japan, Taiwan, Italy, & Isreal. That is 6 out of 10 Tech Trees.
Italy only had F-16ADF block 15 (apart from some aircraft of the other earlier blocks used for repair parts and trainer variant F-16B), they leased them as a stopgap between F-104S-ASA (+ leased Tornado ADV) and EF-2000. Italy have never had F-16C and as far as I’m aware Gaijin doesn’t plan to give Italy earlier blocks and trainer variant. The only other way Italy can get a better F-16 now is the addition of Romanian machines.
Still doesn’t matter and since only the US has the C this whole post comes off as US suffers.
They have serial numbers up through Block 40. So they could easily have gotten an F16 this patch.
japan does not have F-16C…
according to this it should have 2 more points for aim 9
Japan doesn’t fly the F-16. They have their own domestic, modified version of an F-16
It’s airframe is different so calling it an F-16 is erroneous
Also if you want them to add more pylons you need to provide evidence that the version of the F-16C we have in game is capable of mounting and firing them.
As far as I know AIM120 mounting is different from AIM7 so showing proof for one doesn’t prove the other either.
Good luck o7
Look again, those are both pylon 7/3, not new pylons.

You understand the F16 didn’t even bother with sparrows right? The only reason we have them in game is because they refuse to give us the Aim-120s it would normally carry.

Pretty sure the F-16A used sparrows?
jesus christ dude…
you have shown pictures that are renders (if you suggest that is proof then let me just photoshop together a Jas37 with 200 AIM-120 and say that its possible).
just because it can physically carry something does not mean it has the electronics capable of controlling two or three separate missiles from the same line of communication. as an example: this was an issue with the AJ37 as it could carry two RB75’s on each wing but NOT fire them due to electronic constraints, it later got updated to the AJS37 that could both carry AND fire them.
just because a jet CAN use something does not mean that they DO. Gaijin tries to keep concept vehicles as close to described as possible and same with vehicles in active service. they never mix the two and put concepts on real vehicles.
Burden of proof lies with the person trying to convince others of something. if i say dragons are real, is it then your job to prove that they don’t and if you cant prove it are dragons therefore by default real?
images of military gear are not “proof”, they are easily manipulated and can even be real but on purpose made to lead astray adversaries and make them think you are capable of something you actually aren’t.
as proof Gaijin needs to see information from either Declassified military documents or several secondary sources in the form of books or similar. something with like an ISBN number that can be verified to not be a manipulated image by going back to the source of the information.

Aren’t we still missing paveway triple rails and APKWS? Not to mention all the systems still absent from the game.
Triple paveways, not sure. Read it just wasn’t cleared to carry that. I’ve only seen it so far for show only.
APKWS depends entirely on the if the devs want to add it. APKWS is pretty modern and it would make the F-16C a much more modern variant as result. Currently we have like around 2007 ish F-16C, don’t remember the exact range, but it’s based on the helmet mounted sight for slaving the sidewinders. But then again, Gaijin can always limit the amount of weapons a vehicle gets, so adding the modern APKWS doesn’t necessarily mean everything else modern has to come to it as well. Especially when the APKWS is just modern due to the time it was made, not really due to its insane new capabilities, if you get what I mean.

Look again. 7 and 7A are the same pylon. We have the correct number of hard points.
