Yeah i know, still to much
BR for it should be 12.7 or 13.0 depending on it performance of course but that sounds reasonable right
Definitely not.
There was a convo about this in the F-16 thread a while ago.
Both of these are from the same book, however, the Test Store Loading was simply for testing (in a wind tunnel afaik)
Plus the Chief Engineer of the XL stated only x4 AMRAAM.

I found the source for this as well (it was mentioned in a different book)
Here’s all the Important pages:

To be fair, he did not specify or explicitly state the aircraft is LIMITED to four AMRAAMs. The excerpt you used was illustrating a comparison between F-16XL-1 and F-16A.
The F-16A ADF having AIM-120s on wingtips sets a precedent for six AIM-120s on the F-16XL-1, in my opinion.
If Gaijin really wants to put the F-16XL-1 at 13.3 (worst scenario), then there’s no reason for it to remain at 13.3 without a six AIM-120A loadout.
However, if Gaijin puts it at 13.0 first, then I would have no objection to restricting it to four AIM-120s.

This is true, however the AFMC’s Legend only mentions x4 AMRAAMs in the Semi-Submerged pylons.
The NASA Book shows that the XL’s extra AMRAAMs were only ever tested in a wind tunnel which sadly isn’t enough for Gaijin.
also is it gonna get the F16Cs kit like planned as production or is it in prototype state ?
The post only said x4 AMRAAMs and x2 9Ls.
what BR do you think it may bleed energy fast because the massve wings but also have great lift so it should feel like a better j35XS maybe or even a early hornet idk but it does have supercrusie so maybe 13.3 air and 12.3 ground
im more wondering the engine if itll get GE 132 or PW 220 thats very big deal
its a single seat so it’s sticking to the F-16A’s engine, the F-16XL-2 had the upgraded F-16C engine but was a two seater

13.0 minimum (less likely)
13.3 maximum (worst scenario)

Afaik only XL-2 got the upgraded engine, so XL-1 (the single seat one we’re getting) will probably only have 220.
Unless Gaijin just feels like adding 129 to it, which I wouldn’t mind.

13.3 would be survivable for it but not as fun as 13.0 and since its an event vehicles maybe it will get a pass? idk it would still have to face off the su30 premiums but that’s fine and unavoidable for it ig
well from what i heard from F16 fans it was to equipped with the same engine as the F16C if it had went into service which is why i wanna know there plan
Leave the F-16XL-2 as a TT one
