It’s effectively the same ingame as a USAF F-16C POBIT barring the CFT and some slight weight differences. F-16V has other operators so it would unfortunately be copy pasted a lot, like a 2nd wave of F-16 spam to get a lot of nations AESA
Idk if it a downgrade or not but they have said its armour is about 400mm-800mm similar to the original Abrams without DU. and Since gaijin dosen’t module DE armor does that mean the Taiwanese Abrams gonna be impossible to pentrate from the front?
In the future hopefully it will.
Currently we only have 2 of these nations in-game but only 1 is a confirmed sub-tree, that being Taiwan so that would be a given. The other nation is Turkey but it’s only as a couple of premiums for Italy who I don’t believe have any yet but they have put a request in for some new-built aircraft and some upgrade kits for their existing F-16s.
Actually scratch that there is also Greece and Slovakia that are in a similar state to Turkey however both do have currently have Block 70’s in their air fleet. Greece is just 1 aircraft, the AH-64A(GR) in the US Helicopter TT and Slovakia with the T-72M2 Moderna for Russia. However I can’t see either of these tree’s getting the F-16V, the US would already get the F-16C PoBIT which is identical to the V other than no CFT’s and obviously an F-16 for Russia would start riots.

I’m hoping Tuesday, as I can’t wait to play the my most hype vehicle of the update, the Ram I.
Along with the operator changes that’ll have me playing coastal, again. And I get two aircraft, with the spitefire fix.
Of course, there is the CF-188, but bar that fact, it’s going to the UK(which is good), I don’t exactly have anything that makes me excited for it.
Nope, the Taiwanese F-16Vs are deep modifications of their Blk 20 MLU fleet, as a result they are different airframes and a different engine to anyone else, and should come with a variety of ordinance, although nothing domestic yet
M1A1 AIM also has a non-DU armor package. Gaijin will likely just copy and paste the armor values from that onto the M1A2T whenever it gets implemented.
It’s close to Sep v2 or M1A1 AIM, but not M1A1, it’s a misunderstanding of the build process of M1.
All current Abrams are build based on storage M1A1, they no longer produce any full new ones because there is huge cold war storage.
and it uses export non-du FMS armor pack like AIM, but newer version.

Yeah they did upgrade their block 20 fleet but I thought they also ordered new build airframes? What engine is it, if you know. Ordinance won’t really differ much if at all
Wouldn’t fck 1 be a straight downgrade over the f-16 anyways
Mostly but there’s nothing wrong with lower tier jets
At least it wouldn’t see top tier monsters
From what I’ve found on internet, seems they did
almost a US style JF-17.
i feel like that would be the F-20, its just that the F-20 is a lot older
So in game it’ll likely be an M1A1 AIM with CITV and slightly better ammo depending on which version of the KEW they give it.
almost an AIM in game.
it uses KEWA1, basically renamed DM43A1
i wonder if they will add the latest USMC M1A1’s with it. that would be pretty cool

Gunna grind out the mossies whilst messing around with New-RAAM but overall, not a lot im massively excited for.
Will grind out the Sky Sabre slowly, but ground grinds take too long, especially for top tier and whilst its our first top tier worthy vehicle, the lack of a line-up is a bit of an issue. So how much I’ll actually use it I dont know. Might just single vehicle line-up it
They really need to just add sepv3 it should have been added when the 2a7 was added. I much I rather they not add filler M1s like the m1a1fep which is literally sepv2 essentially.

is it too much to ask for both?
