The F-16XL was trialed before JHMCS was a (common) thing in the USAF/USN right?
Would be an interesting challenge to find a good BR for it.
Next vehicle event should be a tank event as we’ve previously had the Dutch F-16A and the USS Oklahoma. I’d imagine either the Palmaria, Hummel, or Arjun as they turned up in the 2026 decal.

13.0 min since it could carry 4-6 aim120s, maybe 13.3 but thats the highest i see
probably would get it depends on how they add it as if it did go into production it would have all the upgrades of the F16C
Yep, will be something like:
April: Tank
May: Plane
June: D-Day (probably another tank)
July: Nothing
August: Boat (should be British)
july is hopefully something unique like the inviticus or s97 raider x
aslong as its not american i dont care im a german main and id rather it also not go to germany as they just keep copy pasting our dreadnoughts
They usually have a month break in July, so normally there isnt an event in July
Thing is, I doubt they would add it in such a way. I think they’ll just add it as the prototype version that existed.
If the flight performance and missile loadouts are good I don’t think 13.7 is off the table.
they did that with YAK-141 i dont see why they wouldnt do it here
it was made before HMD and HMCS were added into the f16 jets, and no hmd at 13.3+ is a death sentence for the most part, i dont see it being higher than 13.3

It shouldnt be american because they just got one, and all other (naval) nations got one last year. Britain has been the longest since getting a naval event vehicle With Barham the last in 2024
They did it once 3 years ago and never did it again for the many planes that were added afterwards.
to be fair there hasnt been another plane like it added in recent time

They could probably make it work since there’s at least two distinct prototypes they could model and potentially even a planned production type if anything specific to it was made. So that’s at least two different F-16XLs and one can be event without issue.
If they really put Palmira on the map as an event, it would be a real mess, since Italy has nothing from 6.0 to 8.3 in the TT. Then, which country will Altay go to?
hopefully we get it with a boosted engine so we can have a actually competitive FM in our tree again
i dont think the NASA version had any sort of weaponry, RWR, CM or radar, i think theirs was purely for experimental reasons
wouldnt be first time they added a plane with no weapons
why would they have to add the R-37M along the MiG-35? it can just use the normal R-77/77-1
