But that’s right, it’s designed to have a greater angle of attack at the point of impact.
F-18E missing its IRST pod
no, It’s called a fuel tank, in the custom loudout. but it doesn’t work
Game textures broken for me

It’s a late CM we’re getting but yeah.
I understand people wanting it to be a PoBIT but it isn’t based on the skin. I’m hoping Gaijin will model it as a late CM instead of PoBIT so we have a SCANG jet that can well….actually do its mission type (I love the Swamp Foxes and SEAD)
PoBIT, CCIP, and the upgrade program these were a part of are completely different programs. I understand the frustration of wanting a PoBIT however this is the first step in that direction and a needed addition with SEAD on the horizon. These 16CJ’s (now designated CM’s) specifically make up all of our SEAD capabilities besides the 2-3 at most that use the F-35. The Eagle’s can’t do SEAD with HARM or anything. This jet needs to stay in CM configuration if they’re going to add HARM to it (unless the devs want to make it a Frankenstein jet with the stuff from both programs in which case that’s their decision to make)
The program this jet was a part of was set aside specifically for the CJ’s to make them into CM’s and pre-dates PoBIT.
People don’t seem to understand this (and I can’t blame them for being misled as this program was never officially named afaik and I’d wager is rather obscure knowledge unless you’re a big SEAD nerd like I am). It’s a similar concept to CCIP but it’s just updating the avionics and systems of the CJ’s to make them more modern and lethal by integrating SABR Radar, Block 2 ALQ-131, AIM-9X, and provisions for and later the ability to use AIM-120D as it was being rolled out among a few other things. Since the upgrade was independently procured each time on a per-squadron basis it’s hard to research and you typically have to go through each squadrons official news page and read into the short articles and stuff there.
CCIP was bringing all the standard Block 50/52’s up to CJ standard in terms of avionics, software, and a few systems such as Link-16, JDAM, new MFD’s, and a few other things that the CJ’s already had. These jets didn’t get the stuff for the Harm Targeting System for the same reason the PoBIT didn’t - it’s reserved for SEAD/Test squadrons and it’s expensive to integrate onto every jet in active inventory.
Minnesota’s ANG got this program as well for their Block 50 CJ/CM’s. We had AESA in these squadrons in 2020 before PoBIT was announced. SCANG got their’s in 2019-2022. Last 6-8 jets were completed in late 2022-early 2023. Matter of fact the exact tail number in game is in this image from 2020.
If it would help the devs I would be willing to try to compile information for them to use to model it as a proper CM. I just need to know what they need to know.
My main concern is it possibly not getting SEAD when it comes to the game which will make me very upset as this squadron’s main mission is SEAD… :(
@Smin1080p_WT How are we supposed to report the PL-12A if sources on the actual irl missile (PL-12AE) are not accepted? There’s literally no info about a hypothetical PL-12A.

hi will the f16c blk52 get the AIM-120A/B? it kinda effect the close range combat with others so i need to know this
You don’t lol, why do you think they would add an obscure missile instead of PL-12AE? Everything Gaijin does is by purpose and design.
Literally gajin just being…
Bug report managers are greatest ragebaiters
Gaijin:
“We cant add radar screen to the Stormer HVM due to missile type”
Adds similar ish missile to the new Pantsir
Gaijin:
"Good news we can now add a radar screen to the Stormer HVM "

PL-12A is not configured yet. Reports should not be made on stat cards.

How are we supposed to bug report chn stuff when the few scarce sources we have arent enough and on top of that gajin makes stuff up that doesnt exist so that we cant bug report it
Any hidden vehicles in the files? French ones?
