Sadly this wouldnt be something practical to offer or maintain. As you can imagine, with the sheer number of vehicles we have in games, times the number of sources per vehicle required / used (which itself can very from 10-100+ lets say depending on what), then for each system, HUD, mechanic, missile, shell and you end up with a hugely incalculable number.
Maintaining that in list form simply would not be practical. With how many people and teams working on vehicles, coupled with changes based off reports and consultant finds, it becomes clear to see why having a running list of everything ever used would not be viable sadly.
The biggest reason I even mention Germany is because the U.S. had literally nothing to do with the conversion itself. The conversions were done based on the work done to the F-4f ICE programs specifically.
Perhaps not, but the tanks it faces have only gotten significantly stronger and it’s lost it’s only major advantage in having a reload rate buff. Even tanks that were weaker like the ariete are now tentatively stronger since they got the 5 seconds reload with DM53. That was no small buff for them, but the CR2 remains the same. Especially with the ahistorically tiny ready rack.
It didn’t even get a BR reduction in the “decompression”
There are also some “outside of the box” buffs they could get like giving most of them a dozer blade.
How about Python 4 and Derby on the F-16D, it already doesn’t get AMRAAMs and is 13.7 despite being a worse airframe to the F-16C, it could be bumped up to 14.0 if needed but I’m not sure it would need it, like you say IR missiles are much more restricted in usage
You mean like the truth that Israel already outcompetes Russia in air
and there is no real way around the Python 4 being good, they have to introduce it before the AIM-9X as that is equivalent to the Python 5 so unless they skip a missile Israel will have another spot in the limelight
Yeah adding them alongside the existing weapons would be the best option. There’s no point in handicapping an aircraft with just IR missiles when it can carry both IR and ARH missiles.
