They gave the IRIAF R27 so I think it’s loadouts it was supposed to have, would be the line they draw
I don’t care about loadouts, the YF-23 never did, nor could, launch a missile, that would make it fictional, so by that same line, the YF-23 could never be added to the game
I mean equally the F-16AJ was intended to fly, and have a radar, and launch Sparrows and Sidewinders. Either intention is enough or it’s not, but stop trying to draw the line exactly where it benefits you the most

As long as the airframe and all the stuff existed, even if separately (yak-141 radar/yf-23 weapons bay) it’s fair game
The F-16AJ is fictional since an F-16AJ airframe was never actually made, and they never made the parts for it specifically either since it was never more than a proposal
I can ask a suggestion mod to be sure if you’d like

this is the point, there was never a functioning YF-23 weapons bay.
By the rules you are trying to enforce, the only weapons bay you can have, is one with the capacity to hold, but not launch, missiles
And I’m not saying it isn’t a perfectly valid suggestion, but the AJ is in the game already, so your argument falls flat on its face there

I know i was looking at his post, still seems strange to copy the F5E when the F5A already exists you know?

That would be such a Gaijin/Wargaming thing to do.
Even more so if it’s a panther 2 or something like that.
I think the AJ is next on the chopping block for sure though. I get the Thai F-16 sucks but it is there after all. And ofc, there is F-2 like you said before.
Exactly, after the F-2 is added, the AJ can be phased out
While you don’t jump up by 1 BR at this point we should be at 15.0 BR with the latest additions with proper decompression. This idea by @kr1sp7 is what top tier should look like at this point in time.
With BR decompression like this many of the aircraft that are proposed to move down in this current BR changes can either stay as they are or move up in a similar fashion. It just seems that the devs are more concerned with adding new ways to monotise the game with the player auction than properly balancing the game.
Also, they should really add a Thai F-16A ADF to fully replace the F-16AJ

Yeah though I’m in the opinion they should remodel it into the Thai F-16A ADF as it save people grinding another F-16 out

I wouldnt call the MiG-29G on par with the Su-27 and Su-33. Would be more fitting at 13.3 with your decompression
I will say this I am totaly okay with O-I being add it was real and there is a piece of it’s track somewhere forgot where but it exist the issues with the ratte as the person who drew it said “I was drunk and just thought this would be and Intering new type of tank…An H**ler liked it.” end quote, Now the O-I can be added cause it was actually made just no images taken of it but we do have it’s buleprints. Now the thing of the P.1000 is a joke but thats basically the jest of the tank.
Doubt the Thai OCU is a replacement for it. It’s the worst of the Thai F-16 bunch, but still quite a bit better than the AJ in every way, resulting in higher BR.
In air battles historically it should lose AMRAAM and be 13.0 with just 9M since it couldn’t use AMRAAM at all. This is close, to the AJ, but still doesn’t quite fill the hole considering there is another 13.0 fighter, but without the AJ no 12.7
In ground battles it’s already 12.7 (compared to the AJs 12.0) while also still underperforming, missing GBU-16, AGM-65G/G-2, wing kits for the GBU-12 and KGGB. It’s also weirdly limited to 6 Mavericks at a time, when in theory there is nothing stopping 8. So once all of those things are fixed it will be everything but the 12.0 of the F-16AJ
I’d still like to see a replacement for it. Singapore has in my opinion the most ideal replacement F-16A, though Indonesia could also do it.
Thailand might be able to provide the F-16A Block 10 as well, but that is semi-historical with both of their Block 10 airframes limited for spare parts use and only painted in Thai air force colors later for museum display.

Issue with the Thai ADF is that it went through the same modification as the Italian ADF, meaning it can’t carry AIM-7 anymore. While Gaijin ignored this for Italy, I’d rather have that fixed than repeated.
It was a dedicated AMRAAM carrier in Thai service, since it was their first AMRAAM carrier and used as dedicated interceptor F-16. In Thai service it used AIM-9P/P-4/M and AIM-120C-5/C-7
here is the actual blueprint
Also found the track I talked about.
I also stumbled upon a of the armor that was saved from destruction by the Japanese
