well the thread went about as expected lol
Well, theoretically it can carry 4-5 i believe, but there is nothing to indicate it ever carried more than one
Is there a written source that specifies that it could be mounted on those pylons?
Because if you find a bunch of sources saying that it could be mounted on the same pylons of the Bullpup, it could be used to bug report it.
I think the most realistic solution to this problem, is to get gaijin to add the Norwegian F-16A Block 15, which is the only plane we know 100% could fire penguins and 4x of them.
Exactly, it really just seems gaijin figured penguin would be the gimmick for the vehicle to warrant it being a event. Though if Norway and Denmark are added as a combined 5th airline to sweden we could actually see some very cool F16’s

Just did give it a try. No Radar was the end of the story.

This is from the unclassified F-16 document I have on the penguin integration, in theory yes it can be used on any of those same pylons, in practice I suspect a response to a big report would just be a copy paste loadouts are at devs discretion and subjecto to balance.

Nah no shot, the source talks about the F-16 and even then it talks about certification of other pylons.
The MIL-STD-1553 data bus communicates with the adapter pylon, which was a LAU-123. The LAU-123 could be mounted onto the regular pylons i think

Any weapon that uses infrared or image guidance, whether it is a ground-to-ground missile, an air-to-air missile, or a bomb, their operating logic is exactly the same. Constantly detect the “heat value” of objects in the field of view and then find the highest one to track. This is why many ground-to-ground missiles like to lock on to wreckage.

so cheap of gaijin to make this event vehicle, could´ve just been a squadron or premium ngl

I can see its thrust goes from ca 1360kgf down to ca 860kgf however it is according to my sources supposed to be a little higher than this, not much but it would have a small impact on eigne performance and flight performance for the better :)

Ty for noticing that the copy paste plane has a copy paste engine from F-5E
(Others J85-GE-13 engine as reference)
It’s actually still wrong. It’s supposed to have a bit more power to match the historical engine.

Also arent the wings wrong? Iirc they were made bigger or taken from a F5E
Watch gaijin deny the F-5A(G) CCIP, and then add the CF-116 with CCIP next update

We now have sources they most likely cannot deny.
