Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

Lockheed Martin F-16C/D Block 50/52 Plus and F-16I Sufa fitted AN/APG-68(V)9 radar

F-15C/D Baz & F-15I Ra’am capable with AIM-120 in the israeli service too

Personally, I think F-16C Block 30 Barak not perfect but very good lightweight multirole fighter aircraft 12.0 because carry short-range Air-to-Air Missile like F-4E Kurnass 2000 but large variety of Air-to-Ground armament & targeting pod better Kurnass 2000

The f16c barak block 30 would basically be a netz with an engine almost as strong as the block 50 thats able to carry python 4-5 and derby. Thats all i want :)

What would that be.

Just wounder when the F-4F ICE will be added. When they wait much longer, it will be a totally outdated airframe, compared whats to expect for other nations (Typhoons, Su-27, F/A.18, F-15 etc).

I missed that. Now is this realy what we need?

It can be a perfect solution for russian 3rd gen fox3 capable platform.
I mean it all comes together - Sea Harrier FA.2, AV-8B+, F-4F ICE, JA37D, MiG-21-93. 6 nations with 3rd gen fox 3 capable jets. I think that’s what we should expect in the new update.

Just imagine:

  • MiG-21-93 (x4 R-60M or x2 R-73 + x2 R-27R/ER or x2 R-77) up to 6 missiles

  • F-4F ICE (x4 AIM-9L or x4 AIM-9Li + x4 AIM-120B) 8 missiles

  • JA37D (x2 AIM-9L + x4 AIM-120B) 6 missiles

  • Sea Harrier FA.2 (x4 AIM-9L or x4 AIM-9M + x2 AIM-120B/C <max 4 if carried in place of AIM-9>) up to 6 missiles

  • AV-8B+ (x2 AIM-9L or x2 AIM-9M <possible 4 with twin rails> + x4 AIM-120B or x4 AIM-120C) up to 6/8 missiles depends on Gaijin tho

Sounds like a pretty balanced step into FOX-3 era imo

Since when does 4 + 4 equal 4?

oopsie lol

There we go.

I’m saying no Rafale, F-2, F-16C Block 60+, or Typhoon this year.
It’s unprecedented to have 3 BR additions in a year.
I fully expect Gripen for Britain & Sweden, F-15J/C for everyone that gets it.
Viggen D won’t get ARHs in order to remain 11.7 instead of going to 12.3+ with Gripen.

Obviously PL-12 is coming alongside all other ARHs as this was confirmed with J-8F’s addition.

I can get behind that, I too fully expect everyone by the end of the year to have ARH and a new TT jet (except Germany unless you count Komoran)
