In the first day of the dec server it was a placeholder

Ok, thx.

Maybe if Chinese users make a ticket reporting that a Chinese jet has a British pilot, Gaijin will finally remember the model exists and try implementing it on some British jets instead 😄

We had one yes, but we need second reshuffle too.

Or as a premium

Kind of a weird camo for a Norwegian F-16. The only RNoAF F-16s that were ever painted like that, were ex-RNLAF F-16 Block 10s that were transferred to Norway in the 2003 and re-fitted with drogue chute to be used as instructional airframes

Ex RNLAF J-242 in Norway

They never flew after being “Norwegianised” with the drogue chute. And unlike actual Norwegian Block 10s in operational use, the ex-RNLAF planes didn’t have the interception spotlight on the port side of the nose. So they are easy to spot as instructional airframes.

And 299, which was Norway’s F-16 MLU Test, Verification and Installation (TVI) “mule” aircraft that was mistakenly repainted with the F-16 “Hill” camo and oversized roundels in 1996 when it was in America being upgraded to Block 20 MLU standard, and remained that way until it was repainted in 2010

The model doesn’t have an IFF antenna on the nose, or enlarged (Block 15 onwards) stabilators. So must be one of the Ex-RNLAF Block 10s that never flew

thankfully they never added it to the challengers or ariettes (if they did they would probably need to lower their BRs again lmao)

edit: did a little bit of looking and found this image, which would imply the challenger 2 would be free from that turret basket issue

feels like we get this every major update lmao I think the UK tree probably has the title for the most reworked tree in the game

So the F-106 got a new HMD on the dev server. Currently it’s the same as DASH on the Baz M.

i like simple like russian or early br ones but isnt just a literal green circle., man i wish they would have at least given the new f16 a better hmd lol

Did the F16C Block 52 get a cockpit on the new DEV?

ill check now but after the update earlier i still think no or at least it isn’t done yet. not sure what the cm looks like in real life when compared to the f16c 50
