people will get mad the load out isnt realistic
wdym?
R-37M is already missing from loadouts of planes already in game

exactly they aint gonna fix the game ever just new money makers
fixing the game doesnt make money, adding premiums do, atleast in short term
Both F-16XL’s were modified from a Block 1 and 10 airframes but production models were planned to have the avionics of the Block 30’s with MSIP II upgrades. (According to a book by NASA)
The F-16XL lost against the F-15E in 1984 which pre-dates JHMCS by about 20 years so it wouldn’t have any HMD.
Would probably be at 13.3 alongside the F-16A ADF’s as it would have the same 4 x AIM-120A and 2 x AIM-9L. Only difference would be the use of Block 30 avionics, a different FM, and a much larger ground ordnance load.

there isnt true mutli-target tracking aesa/pesa ingame, its just a mechanical PD with a higher fov and a slightly faster scanning TWS, aesa/pesa can track what 10, 20 targets at once, and fire a missile at each and guide each missile until they pitbull, we dont have mutli-target tracking and modern missiles like r37m rely on that pesa/aesa
it will be at least 13.7 with that kit, especially as it will be equivalent/better than F-16C-50 in avionics and certainly flight performance
the F16XL is based on the F16A airframe, it doesnt have a HMD at all, and only 4 aim120A, 13.7 would be a death sentence
We are well overdue for a helicopter event vehicle. Last one we’ve had was the H-34 Choctaw back in the Operation Shipyard event in 2019, it was also the only event helicopter we’ve had.
Would be cool to see an event helicopter again, the ACH-47A, MV-22B and the S-97 would all be great candidates for it.

plus, they’re unique which is what we need, bc rn its just been copy paste of the same stuff, the S97 raider x has a really unique propulsion system and advanced avionics, and it would be the 3rd stealth vehicle ingame with a 200 cruise speed, and level flight propulsion so no need to point nose downward, and you can put more thrust into the rear blades for more thrust, or more in the vertical blades for more lift
Gripens do perfectly fine at 13.7 with 4 AIM-120s
thats irrelevant as its so far changed from it. Regardless F-16A is even better than F-16C in terms of airframe/Flight performance
F-2A is 13.7 with only 4 AAM-4s and does fine
the F-16XL will be a 13.7 aircraft i do reckon, it has absolutely no business being 13.0/13.3
It will do fine at 13.7
all gripens have a HMD
its still an old F16A frame
AAM-4s are more advanced than AIM120a
it might do fine at 13,7 but the lack of a HMD is my main issue with it
While true, you can also just extend the ACM box to aid with this
I have used it with great effect on the Tornado F.3 and FA.2 to make them more competitive
While not a replacement, it does help
Age does not matter in game
Saying the F-16XL will struggle because it is old, is like saying the J-7E struggles because its a highly modified MiG-21 airframe, which is catagorically false
not by a breathtaking amount, its not like we’re talking about a MICA for in game purposes
it will do fine

all this discourse doesnt matter if it aint added, best we can do is hope for the addition and then get into the game balancing
It will more than likely be 13.3. It was planned to carry and was tested carrying 4 x AIM-120A and 2 x AIM-9L. We already have the ADF with either 6 x AIM-120A or the same 4 x AIM-120A + 2 x AIM-9L.
The ADF is already at 13.3 with the same loadout so there’s no reason for it to be any higher.
F-2A also has a considerably better radar and 4x AAM-3s instead of 2x 9L
