F-16C at 13.0? Am I missing something??

If they are lowering its BR, it may become somewhat interesting!

Placeholder BR

tbf the mavs are TV guided so they arent really good also got to sacrifice most A2A weapons

Yup. @Morvran you sure you still want AIM-120D on the Eurofighter?

You talked about a 16 fnf limit, which if it exists Gaijin seems to care little about.

This brings back the trauma from when I was trying to stock grind and spade my F-16I.

And for this F-16C it’s going to be even worse due to the new meta.

Like it or not.

16 gbu53 plus 6 mavs will never happen.

the amx-30 Javelot look so fun to play tbh sad that we didn’t get anything than a copy past boat

Thanks :)

They genuinely cooked with this level of ragebait, I am impressed Gaijin. US mains in shambles right now.

It’s not a POBIT aircraft. Part of a separate program for F-16CJ aircraft that gave it AESA among other things.

If you’d like to know more I explained further higher up in this thread.

Oh I agree, and imo it shouldn’t happen. I enjoy actually playing tanks too much to want such a CAS loadout for any nation.

Might be that the A/B are stock perhaps? Or are unlocked together with the C modification? There are other cases of a modification unlocking more than one variant of a munition (not sure about if there are any such cases with homing A2A missiles though).

Dev is also as always a work in progress, things can and do change before the update is live, the dev server isn’t even live yet. Imo there is no point in getting upset about things that aren’t even confirmed to be as intended yet.

My friend there is absolute 0 chance devs know that unless community reported.

Furthermore, the aircraft can come with PoBIT upgrades even though it did not have them in real life, for example Mirage 2000-5F or F-5C.

Or just give the Block 70. As if it is too advanced for the game. Or Block 60.

Another win for Russia

I don’t know of any case in-game where unlocking one modification of a missile provides you with more than 1 variant of said missile.

HOBS doesn’t have to mean close range. HOBS just means I can notch and fire the missile at a medium range target knowing it will track.

This is the correct answer, which takes some nuance that I think a lot of WT players lack

For what it’s worth, Gaijin seems to be pushing the J-15T, F/A-18F RAAF, and F-16 Block 52 as the headliners, as they’re the first new rank IX aircraft. The IFVs seem to be the headlining ground vehicles.
