No countermeasures on the XL?

will this get any kind of HARM?
Rgr
Nothinggggggg.
I think its more likely that the F-16XL-1 is 13.3 because its pretty similar to the F-16 ADF besides the cranked arrow and -2 AIM-120s, whether it moves down or not will probably come later if it performs bad enough.

Unlikely
well thats bad, now i am not intereseted :(
It will most likely recieve countermeasures unlike in real life.
Still, 45 cm at 13.3 with such a big plane will be an issue, at least F-20 is much smaller and can actually utilize that feature.

Show me broadside on both XL and F-20 and lets talk again.
Just because F-20 is tiny doesnt mean F-16 is big

The ADF doesn’t have 9Ms either and I doubt Gaijin would want the XL to sit at 13.7
On the actual airframe no but the same plans that’s getting it AIM-120 also state plans to install CM dispensers in the wings so it should get some.
They were originally removed as they would have been blocked by the AIM-120 mounts.

So does F-16XL，they were mock-ups
same man, but now that I also have college classes I might be able to grind then, cuz my instructor does not GAF what we do. I just have to hope that we stay in the classroom, and not go into the shop while the event is up
why 13.7? 13.3s like su30mk/mig29smt (R73) or F-16D (9M) get IRCCM

Because the ADF is 13.3 without 9Ms
