Get the F-16XL in the Space Program Event!

Why would you wanna use the Myrsky lol, might as well just fly literally any other seal clubbed event plane that’s actually good

What a great time to be in a remote war, lmao. Take my $40 Gaijin, I need this.

Sure, the semi-recessed pylons were definitely the default loadout. The Test Store Loadings definitely proves that at least one additional AMRAAM on the outer heavy pylons would be possible so it should be implemented.

I never said that. I said that in my opinion the separate entry point of " (1)AMRAAM Launcher (MRL)" is a twin-rail since the single-rail is mentioned as an extra point above.

That is irrelevant. We know from other examples that it’s not necessary that something was actually flown when it was planned/provisioned for to be implemented.

I take the 141 as an example for my previous point. The 141 has armaments that were planned for it but never tested. Therefore the XL should at least get a 6x AMRAAMs + 2 Sidewinder loadout and a 8x AMRAAM loadout since there were windtunnel tests with Wingtip AMRAAMs

Time to grind SIM again lol

I would say you’re wrong on that.

A/A loadout is 2 Sidewinders on the Wingtips + 4 AMRAAMs on the belly.
So this would be 2 additional AMRAAMs.

Another top tier aircraft… they are all the same, same missiles and same gameplay.

yay more f16

all of us when we unlock the F-16XL

Where are the Paveways Gaijin?

It is stated in every documentation that the F-16XL was intended to carry Paveways coupled with dual LANTIRN pods,so where are they? Since it’s surely a 13.0+ ARB craft (due to Fox-3s),it’ll be 12.0+ for GRB,and not having at least Paveways around that BR will make the aircraft effectively DOA despite being intended as a CAS platform concurrent to the F-15E.

And please do not say that “the LANTIRN weren’t wired so we are not adding them” because by this logic there’s a substantial amount of vehicles in this game that should not receive weapons or systems (coff coff Yak-141). Adding Paveways will not make the XL straight up OP in GRB because it will surely be in the Pantsir range,but at least it will make it usable

Where did you get the ordnance sheet for the XL?

How much do you think this will go for on WT market? Is it better to GE it now or wait untill event ends?

On a wind tunnel mockup.

I don’t even know what you’re talking about.
how is MRL proof of a Twin-Rail.

The 141 was shown off with mockups. Much like the 16XL.

If you need them to be actually fired then the XL wouldn’t get missiles at all, nor would the 141.

Mockups aren’t considered by Gaijin. That’s why we didn’t get x8 R-77 on the MiG-29KR.

It’s an Air to Air configuration carrying x2 AMRAAMs on the Fore of the plane.
The same way 2 Aft would be at the Aft of the plane.

Unless the 16XL had 4 non recessed pylons at the front and back of the plane, I would say you’re wrong.

Also unlike the 16XL, this mockup was shown at an expo and we know how it looks. Whereas the 16XL is just wind tunnel testing.

It was planned to carry twin LANTIRN stations under the chin to guide the paveways but the XL program was cancelled before the TGP was ever fitted.

Currently we have no idea on what the mountings for the TGP would have actually looked like or what pylons the paveways would have used. Therefore no LGB’s or TGP since we don’t actually know anything about them really.

same BR as harriers, JA37DI and mig29G etc??

Yeah, and the majority of players think it’s fine, I mean at that point it makes the prem Su-30 BRs look entirely balanced

Then,it deserves 12.0 if not 11.7 for GRB

is 45k normal for air events, and just ground is 35k?

For high tier yeah it is
