Yeah, they are CAS and both on minor nations. They can be potent in the right hands, but have obvious limitations of being subsonics at 11.7.
Modified F-16A Block 10 IR SRAAM from Rafael but none avionics CW illuminators to use SARH MRAAM, or you play F-15A Baz
F-16A Netz reduce to 12.0 again ?
Because GAIJIN felt it carried enough junk Python 3 missiles to fight in 12.3

Netz, Barak should have at least Python 4 missile as IAF was using them on both aircraft. Plus the Israeli tech tree should get the Sufa with Python 5ths that are in use.
All Netz Block 10 were upgraded to the level of F-16C/D in 1992. Only the F100 engine remained the same. Cockpit and avionics is equal. GJ got it in its original form.
F-16C are in service in IAF. No clue why GJ did not add it.

Jesus christ, so now you want them to have by far the best missiles in the game? Barak already gets 9Ms ffs lol.
Probably worried US mains would upset with having to share another top tier jet.
Average US main when another nation gets their planes
Yeah there is no point arguing with people like this lol. It’s not enough that they get some of the best stuff in the game, they also want every other nation to be unplayable.

Most don’t care as long as they also get the jet at the same time…* cough cough AV-8B
They only reason i see that the Americans didn’t get their harrier 2 is that its gonna come with AMRAAMS
I mean, USA has received a top end jet with nearly every single update for the last two years. They probably would have received the AV-8B had that not been the case.
Maybe we will see
So I have a gut feeling that it might be AV-8B Night Attack because similar to AV-8B+ but none AN/AAQ-28(V) Litening II targeting pod, GPS guidance munition, AN/APG-65 radar and active radar homing MRAAM AIM-120 AMRAAM
Either that or there isn’t really a need to give it considering the extensive A2G options USA already has.
They could (but probably wont) add the AV-8B Night Attack that would be radar-less before implementing the AV-8B+ with the radar + AIM-120, but tbh I don’t think many people would be interested in grinding two Harrier II’s (although it would at least be an interesting squad vehicle, the Night Attack Harrier II)
Sounds like the night attack would be the Harrier Gr7, 11.7 equivalent and the AV8B+ would be a good 12.3. just need to give it / add some kits that gives it an advantage in CAS like a gen 3 Tpod

considering the AV8B+ is expected to remain in service until 2025 there must be some pretty modern options to throw on the 12.3 AV8B+ to keep its edge over an 11.7 AV8B (probably will be kitted out as seen in the 2000’s over Afghanistan for example, similarly to the GR7)
Not necessarily for A2A though. An aircraft like that is unlikely to ever be set into an area without air superiority. But probably quite a bit for A2G
Im not well versed with US weapon systems. But im hoping/expecting the Harrier Gr9 to be around 12.3 with Sniper Targetting pod and Brimstones. I imagine something similar for A2G for the AV-8B+ should it fall within the same BR. (though it would have the advantage in A2A so balancing the Gr9 in that envrioment is gunna be tricky)

AV-8B Night Attack look like AV-8B+ & armed AGM-122 Sidearm short-range ARM but none AN/APG-65 radar, GPS guidance munitions, APKWS guidance rocket and 2nd gen targeting pod AN/AAQ-28(V) Litening II
I guess gaijin could add AV-8B+ Early (2003 ~ 2004) at 12.3 BR in rank VIII like Italian AV-8B+
How did this turn in to an AV8 post? Lol
The missiles are still really good and they are on an amazing platform.
Like you can say the MiG-29 9.12 only has a 10.0 missile(and I think a 9.3 missile stock but I’m not sure)
