thank you
are we supposed to open reports for the new aim-9Li for planes other then F4F ICE, or devs already have plans to expand its use?
Quoting Smin: “We are aware which aircraft have the capability to carry Aim9L(I)”
That being said many aircraft wont get them because they dont fit the br. Like the italian F-16, the tornados could arguably use them, but that propably gonna wait until they decide on the general Bomber progression they planned and decide how to handle the issue

Does it really matter? You could add it anyway because “technically possible”.
Right now it’s just for the F-4F ICE.

Both are taken into consideration. It’s just a commonly brought up false example of “F-4F nEvEr UsEd AIM-9J!” That’s been done do death already.
Not only were they technically possible, they were very clearly used.

@Smin1080p On the Dev the “U-SH 204 GK” only has two ammo boxes, that is 400 rounds total
Do you know if this is the intended amount, or just a placeholder?
I would recommend reporting it regardless of you have information on the contrary to be safe.
@Smin1080p as the f4f ice gets AIM9Li, will the swedish gripen be replaced with the these? From my understanding the rb74(m) is code wise just a copy of aim9m, but “lore wise” a modernization of the previous aim9L to the aim9Li

You are aware they propably only gonna turn on smoke trail on the aim 9m code right?
Sorry if I’m asking a question you can’t answer, but do you know if the Namer will get composite armor?
Feels off that an IFV on a Merkava Mk.4 chassis with the turret removed and no conposite is still only 4 tons lighter than the normal Mk.4.

As far as I’m aware vehicles on Dev many not be fully configured. However if you have material about what it’s protection should be, it can be submitted as a suggestion report.
