Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

well nobody build something like that bc its simply stupid
i dont see any practical use to such a design

with asymetric lift and drag it would be heavily limited in aoa

It was yeah, top right corner.

So far we have 2 of these come already so it just leaves the XL, Su-15, Arjun, and a Japanese boat I can’t remember the name of.

But by the looks of it we’re getting the single seat F-16XL-1 based on that they seem to have matched it closely with a real photo of it just flipped it around.

well memes dont get military funding tho

That’s the same thinking that stopped me from getting my belt fed 155mm tonk

it cant be the 2 seater bc that one is asymetric and the F-16XL in the decal is symetric

that sounds and looks kind of great. But it would def be either premium or event. probably event since the spitfire float was too

that one isnt by far as stupid as the stagger-wing

2 Seater one looks better tbh

is it just me or does it look like a successor to the F106 xd

It was only modified with the asymmetrical wings when both XL-1 and -2 were given to NASA, during testing XL-2 was just the same as -1 but with a better engine and a second seat.

Yeah it looks better but also would perform better too since it had a much better engine.


(Taken from the XL suggestion that was passed to the devs)

wouldn’t that put at the early early F16 br?

They would probably feel and play the same tho tbh, They could make one TT and one event that’d be sick

im not that much of a nerd so Im asking

I’m hoping for one TT and maybe one as a squadron vehicles. Although with the event schedule I think one will likely be an event vehicle.

It will probably be at around 13.3 if it gets given it’s planned equipment but if not then I can’t see it being higher than say 11.3 since it would only have 2 AIM-9L and no countermeasures.

There’s quite the difference in power between the two so even with XL-2 being a bit heavier it would likely still perform a lot better than XL-1.

Squadron i doubt, Gaijin being gajin they’ll probably make one a prem since its an f16 and all the new players lovee f16’s
