Hey @Smin1080p_WT, when will the AIM-120A be removed from the F-16A OCU? It’s been a year since the bug report was approved. This aircraft is currently the weakest in 13.7. No HMS, only 45 chaff/flares. How much longer will they keep equipping it with the AIM-120A, which it technically can’t carry?

Currently no plans to do so in this major update. The suggestion remains open. So it remains up to the developers decision.

@Smin1080p_WT I hate to ping ya, but is there any update on the J-10C receiving the WS-10B? This was stated a while ago.

@Smin1080p_WT
Hey Smin, I was curious as to whether or not there was an update to the devs’ plan for SPYDER?
Fairly unlikely anything comes this update but I was wondering if they were narrowing down on their options for the future?

if they want the easy way out they could change it to the PAF version 😋, keep the 120s and increase the CMs

The fact is that j10c can’t get anything because there is no “time” to wait for three or four versions to do everything.

See, don’t know if anyone else experienced this but the IRCCM on the 9M and R73 seem so toned down now compared a year ago. Maybe I’m crazy but it’s my conspiracy theory when it comes to missiles that over time Gaijin tones down the current ones so the new ones coming down the pipe in a while seem strong…but may just be the previous missiles first iteration.

Just an example, I remember the 9M and 73 COOKING people in close…not because people didn’t know how to flare them off the IRCCM just seems weak now…fire a 73 in close and the target doesn’t pre flare then 100-200 meters from impact thay start and it turns into an R60 :/ same kind of thing with the 9M.

That wouldn’t have been the case if the Bug Managers were able to see (yes literally see) J-10C’s installed with WS-10B in the first place, there wouldn’t be this much sourness surrounding it.

@Smin1080p_WT sorry for the ping but are there any plans to give the gripen e it’s irl new wing design? Using the old wing design on a new jet doesnt make sense. Also, the JAS39 is underperforming due to having less wing area than it’s supposed to. It should have better turn rate.

Maybe they’ll be corrected in that dev server extension you were so sure of yesterday?

That was from this friday just gone. So that answer remains.

The report was forwarded this morning.

Now THIS is that some would call “Perfectly balanced”. Gotta throw some Aim-9X for good measure and even greater “balance
