Italian Falcons and how to improve the weak ADF

they said they arent implemented in the game yet, they arent denied, just didnt bother adding them yet, just dont ask me why the tornados would benefit a lot from them as well

Yeah I know the difference between Li and M but one technical moderator confirmed said so during dev server.
Dunno if he ever went back on it tho.

the standard phrase in those cases, pls find the quote or it didnt happen

I’ll search for it.

Just for sake of clarity, I’ll remove the reference to the Gripen till I find again the source to my claim.

Found the thing I was looking for, but I was wrong they were not outright denied

Yeah that was about wing modification purely, didnt include aim 9l(i) which have a complete new seeker

Have you found the differences between the Aim9L/I and Aim9L/I-1?

For the F104S-ASA M on the flight manuals it uses only the Aim9L/I-1 and it should have been used on the F16A ADF too, if I’m not mistaken.

I could only find these sources about the AIM-9L/I(I-1). I don’t know if it could help you.

It’s hard to find any info on the BGT/Diehl Sidewinders

I found this, which just mentions an upgraded seeker

Here on August 2024, after the Update of the ARH missile, the Italian F-16 got no shit, always the lame ass Sparrows. Which is weird since Italy brought the F-16 and the Tornado ADV as a “Test Bed” for the AMRAAM.
GAIJIN WHERE IS MY AMRAAM FOR THE ITALIAN F-16?!

italian adv never used amraams

In fact Tornado ADV limited Skyflash Temp and never armed Skyflash SuperTemp

So I want gajin add AIM-9L/I-1 and change to 12.3 BR but removed Skyflash SuperTemp only for next major update

6x AIM-120B replace 2x AIM-7M on F-16A Block 15 ADF

It was used as a test bed

nup it wasnt, you should realy educate yourself

italian advs never tested amraams, they werent even able to equip amraams and were given back to UK before those update have taken place

here the quote of the local tornado expert which is a tech mod as well

Yea your right, just checked again my bad

Can confirm this, even italian sources tell us that we didn’t even use the SuperTEMP.
Would be interesting to see it with its operational and a bit more unique loadout: Temp and AIM-9Li
