Some time ago this circle started to appear on the horizon as you spawned in planes, on the dev server they fixed it.

ah yes, the god ol days

It’s not supposed to be a fighter, it getting the single best bombload we have seen on a strike jet yet should be enough to warrant it being 10.3
Not to forget how incredibly fast that thing is compared to something like the Jaguars

Hi @Smin1080p, quick question on the new Flanders map if you’re able to answer it.

For custom battles, do you know if it will default to the early/late version based on the selected BR limits, or if there will be both as separate options to choose from like the different cap layouts for other maps.

I guess JH-7A equip PL-5E (stock) & PL-8 or PL-8B and YJ1000-1 1000kg laser guided HE Aerial bomb & LT-2 Laser Guided Bomb

I just know that F-16C Block 50 lack AGM-65G & AGM-65K Maverick and GBU-31(V)1/B JDAM

The F-16C Block 50 also gets Sparrows that it never mounted (and probably couldnt have used with the proper radar) and is lacking the AESA radar that apparently all C variants from that block received.
It’s most likely lacking those A2G weapons for the same reason.
Balance.

i understand, but i doubt alot of people in RB will be using full bombload if that means never hitting super sonic…

i don’t know if its either 6 or 4 that allows you to still fold your wings with gun mod installed, i guess you might get 1-2 kills with missiles if you throw enough of them… you still have to lose a lot of “bombload” just to get aim-9’bs making it way more inflexable other than just “bomb loads”

restricting it to aim-9b’s will just make it a more primary bomber, rather than a useful bomber/fighter combo, making zombie bombers even worse at top tier.

the 2 outer pylons remove the ability to fold the wings

so 4 missiles, with a gun… or 6 without a gun, or bombs or whatever combo… just more inflexable. thank you for answering.

@ErrantAlgae can you check some USSR/Russian loadouts for some of the later Su-25’s, the MiG-27’s, and the SMT? I’d love to be surprised by a KAB-500L.

It wouldn’t be the strangest nation to add, just not as good as some others.

i was about to get very mad about the search zone

but it seems were fine, dont get fooled by it boys

Nope, they aren’t there

Gaijin add AIM-7M Sparrow on F-16C Block 50 is temporary til AIM-120B & AIM-120C-3 AMRAAM replacment AIM-7M in 2 month

F-16C Block 50 fitted AN/APG-68(V)7 radar and not AESA radar, USAF upgraded F-16C Block 40/42 & F-16C Block 50/52 to F-16V Block 70/72 standard with AN/APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) AESA radar

I guess in the future dev could add F-16CM with AN/APG-68(V)9 radar and F-16V AN/APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) AESA radar located under F-16C Block 50

I hope gaijin consider AGM-65G & AGM-65K Maverick replacement AGM-65D and GBU-31(V)1/B JDAM in december

im just surprised we dont have the laser mav yet

The F-16C Block 50 also gets Sparrows that it never mounted (and probably couldnt have used with the proper radar)

Sparrows can be used by F-16C blk.50/52s, as seen by Iraqi F-16C blk.52s that don’t have access to AIM-120, only AIM-7. AIM-7s should be mountable provided the correct pylons are attached as AIM-7s since the F model can apparently be guided with a PD radar that doesn’t have a CW illuminator, but given the US moved on to the AIM-120, it makes sense that no US F-16C blk.50s have mounted AIM-7s, whilst still retaining the option should they need to.

and is lacking the AESA radar that apparently all C variants from that block should have had.

AN/APG-80 is mounted on blk.60s for the UAE. AN/APG-83 is available as an upgrade for blk.40 and blk.50 aircraft, so it’s correct to not have it in game as it wasn’t installed when the aircraft was delivered.

I guess our current F-16C Block 50 is the mid-life variant while future F-16C Block 50 late might add late AIM-120, AIM-9X, A2G munitions and AESA radar.

Just a thought idk

What do people here think of the Flanders map?
Personally I really like the design for it, and with Remembrance Day just around the corner (November 11th), I really appreciate how Gaijin made a map where the location is more known for WW1, and all I can think of when i see the map is “In Flander’s Fields” by John McCrae.

Overall im looking towards the addition of this map
