It’s 14.3 bro

with/without coating it will not break the meta at 14.3

Of course not, that thing will suffer

It looks like the Block 52 in the dev server is actually going to be a PoBIT. It has AN/APG-83 SABR and AN/ALR-69A(V) DRWR.

Be be completely sure that it will be the PoBIT proper we’ll need to wait and see the cockpit and whether is has the CDU or not.

CDU? Maybe. The modern HMD? (which it should have) Doubt, i think atp Gajob is too lazy to introudce full color HMDs.

Yes, I was saying that the CDU will probably come as it’s a integral part of the PoBIT cockpit, but I wanted to signify that the new HMD (which ties into the avionics suite) is unlikely.

Bruh, according to this paper:
Utilising this paper, the AN/APG - 83 should be even worse than in-game, with a 90% probability of detecion only at 116km against a 3m^2 RCS target (in-game is 160km).

do you know what % probability of detection Gaijin uses? because they could also buff its range based off this

Confirmed now the new Block 52 is the PoBIT since it has the CDU in the cockpit.

Then for the sake of accuracy, I’d strongly recommend that Gaijin update the aircraft’s name to “F-16C Block 52 PoBIT”. As is well known, the original “F-16C Block 52” did not have this configuration. This is simply a matter of basic technical rigor.

Also suprises me that they’ve added thunderbird livery for Block52
