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
May 2025.
I started doing some researches around while waiting for the Slammer (How the Italian Air Force called the AMRAAM) and the 9L/I or even the 9M to get added to the Italian F-16, It still makes me mad that Gaijin refuses to give the ADF his legitimate weaponry (knowing Gaijin they will either never add it or they will copy paste another researcheable F-16 that has the AMRAAM giving it the name “MLU”). The only reason Italy got the F-16 was infact to replace the F-104 while waiting for the Eurofighter to arrive, replacing the F-104 main role of Air Defender, Italy never equipped the F-16 with the Sparrow, reason why they wanted the F-16 with Fox3 missiles, technically speaking the F-16 could have performed CAS tanks to unguided bombs and Rocket Pods, things that Gaijin didn’t implement. I love the F-16 but without the AMRAAM I’m not willing to research it

EVEN THE WIKI SAID THAT THE ADF EQUIPPED THE AMRAAM, JUST GIVE IT ALREADY…
The options are two:
1°Option: they add a second ADF in the techtree that will equip the AMRAAM
2°Option: they will add it under a premium pay wall as the 2 seats variant F-16B ADF
The Italian f16Bs were block 5 and 10 series, block tens had OCU upgrade package. Never had amraam
I don’t think gaijin will ever give us true peace Caesar due to (in my opinion) complete ignorance of Italy tech tree due to probably it is unprofitable, this having little investment. But what really angers me is they constantly remove premiums and won’t ever add them anyway, barely gets event vehicles, etc. I’ve tried advocating for the TT, but the devs don’t really care (for example A200C which is just a joke and actually has genuine bugs) anyway I don’t want to get too off top.
In my perfect world a F16B-10 OCU could replace the current f16s, and the OCU also had guided atg armament and lantirn which would be really nice. Then true peace Caesar ADF could be added at 13.3 with 4 amraam and 9LI-1.
I’m literally going insane with snails treatment of Italy TT, but I guess its my fault for being an Italy main 💀💀💀 Other nations get stuff after like a little complaining, heck even UK TT is miles better and they at least get some love from time to time, I feel like Italy is true balkan experience of just living one step from insanity. Sorry the the rambling
