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
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.

Ho229 irl had no weapons same with yak 141
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
