F16E desert falcon

this would be nice, if the US did get aircraft they use to train other pilots with then the US would also get some F-15SGs too as well as the F-16V through the test squadron, mainly to test the APG-83 and such and to eventually put those upgrades into the POBiTs, but still that’s still a big if

it wont work as a squadron. there a limit to the br to squadron planes and i think its 13.7.
and sadly the F16E is not 13.7 plane

that limit can change over time

like 3 years or more.

yeah your exaggerating it greatly lol. less than a year for them go to past 13.7 if they do add more high tier squadron jets

there is no higher tier except for the 5th gen.

looking at how much the current top tier is messy i dont think we will expect in less than a year.

didn’t say it was going to be a squadron vehicle, just that IRL we have 2 separate test squadrons that were operating/operated the F-16V

I don’t think the F-16E not being operated by USA is any kind of problem, and I don’t think either that USA getting it would force USA to get more UAE vehicles. I mean, France got a Finnish vehicle, despite Finland having its own tree with Sweden and having that same exact vehicle in said tree.

my bad for misunderstanding. its just that i saw some people suggesting it as a squadron

as interesting as it would be as a squadron vehicle, i think it would fit more as a subtree vehicle, as annoying as it would be for most players to not have middle east subtree be in a tech tree that already has middle east vehicles until gaijin gets up to the F-15EX, F-22, and F-35s the US is still going to be a bit behind with jet tech as we’ve been using the same F-15C GEs, F-16C block 50s, and (somewhat but i don’t think we are gonna bet block 3s of these any time soon) F/A-18Es for 20+ years, vs the more modern F-16V block 70s and F-15SGs and so fourth, without them the US aircraft would always be a step behind, unless gaijin is willing to do the same thing they did with the yak-141 with US aircraft, that being, “i know it never hung weapons, or had the IRST installed but it was going to” type stuff with US equipment as the F/A-18Es we have in game are still missing the IRST talon hate pod, the current F-15C GEs and F-16CMs are missing their IRST legion pod, and the IR camera in the nose of the AV-8B+ is still not working how it should for a few examples (they are pretty poor examples but you get what I’m going at) there’s still quite a bit of stuff that is missing from US aircraft (I’m not counting the AIM-9X even though it should be on there for now I’m willing to exclude that) we are still mostly missing a large group of aircraft/aircraft variants or upgrades for the gulf war era of US aviation

Not to mention, I believe Singaporean vehicles are being split as well into various nations, so maybe a UAE Block 60 could be possible for USA.

Then again I’m probably huffing up some hopium at this point lol.

gaijin can do that 100%, adding the export variant to the tech tree just like they did for the uk.

i am not sure about that. us have equal more powerful options. they are not weak at all.
we can even see it with the current F15C GE having a great stats.

they will add it. not for the f-16 but they sure will add for the F-15. we saw with the leaked image of the RMP or EX.

that because its still bugged. it was added in the dev but it was causing to much bug.

i would love to hear the details if you willing to tell me

that goes for evey tree. a very large of important plane ot tank are missing from the trees.
take exemple china missing at least 10 or more light tanks. or russia missing its top tier migs.

the SG would be the continuation of the F-15E line, not the C line, as the C line is where it should end till the F-22 or if they chose to add the F-15SE

left that one open to include all US aircraft not just modern, stuff like fuel tanks, napalm bombs, and actual ordnance that could be found on said aircraft in images (cough cough late P-38s) i’ll leave it at that as those are already in the game and won’t need extensive modeling

i specifically said gulf war as that’s my hope with the A-7E that we have in game, its a sad aircraft in itself, was absolute hell trying to spade those things at the same BR as the A-10 but with only AIM-9Gs, it should get upgraded to its gulf war version and recive its 2x9Ls

didn’t say that they were gonna be weak in any way, they would still be able to perform, just the export stuff tends to be better equipped in more ways then just radar or weapons

Crotale NG is French, they just have the wrong flag

The missile system is French but the vehicle isn’t, afaik France doesn’t use the Crotale on this vehicle. They gave it to France because it was the most viable implementation of the missile system for the French tree.
So no, not the wrong flag, it’s plainly a Finnish vehicle used by Finland.
