Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 2)

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
