LDIRCM is a pod on the wing tips

It exists, just not in production yet since they are still signing off on the details, as for war thunder, modelling it as an F-15EX with Israeli weapons would be fine
The only things that can notably change mass is wing geometry and hull thickness.
Considering CFTs have to be compatible with all F-16 Block 52s, that means the fuselage geometry has not changed between F-16D and F-16I for the top and bottom.
The length has not increased by any notable amount looking at images.
And wing geometry clearly has not changed.
The spine which houses electronics is the difference between Standard Block 52s and F-16I and F-16D, which is the notable weight difference between it and F-16C Barak II which is an empty mass of…
8860kg in-game.

The buff too Rafale wasn’t even specified. If it is a-historic it can be reported.(Like any change to any vehicle)
The Rafale is strong, but it’s not in a class of its own. There are other top tier jets that can compete with it.
People keep acting like the Rafale is an F-22 fighting F-4s.

There still isn’t a single F-15IA, and any addition would be pure paper and speculation
I have played both the AMX-10RC recently and the TML back in the day. The mobility isn’t really close between the two lol.
Plenty of things in this game which that applies to, best we don’t delve down that rabbit hole.
Point stands that the IA is literally an export EX with Israeli weapons integration
Eh not really, one nation can actually fire the brimstone from at least one of its AH-64E, the other cannot
Israelis tend to change other things too. Look at their F-16’s and F-15I’s
It kind of is, only the EFT is somewhat close to the Rafale in capabilities.
It takes a lot of effort to go negative in a Refale in terms of stats.
Its israeli cfts by iai specific for f16i its not american ones so they probably diffrent
System were changes its a fact and probably the airframe too if not for sure
this should change the aircraft weight so makes sanse its a bit heavier

I refer you back to German and Italian Eurofighters carrying exclusively RAF weaponry. I don’t think thats a problem at this point.

Israeli ECM and EW components are off the table for this aircraft since Lockheed and boeing are being stricter with the airframe, likely a result of the…

…Biden Administration’s hesistance to provide new arms
Its no point arguing.
He just wants the US is to be the best. If not outright OP If that means getting stuff from other nations whilst simuatenously denying the same treatment to other nations
I.e F-5C only gets flares because of another nation equipped it with flares which is fair. But GR1 cant get flares because it didnt use them. Likewise with the F-4s and their napalm

You guys are the ones trying to steal a missile only ever integrated and fired from an American helicopter, but I’m the one who wants unfair and artificial treatment right?
I never said anything about the Gr1, it should probably have flares if they are airframe compatible
Then I guess lets remove flares from the F-5C. Would only be fair right?

“But the F-5C would need a lower BR then!1!!!1!!”

Point being you’re only considering one point of the argument and not taking into account that it was a non-US company (MDBA) that integrated the missile after being awarded a contract by the British MoD

Did you skip over the part where Boeing was part of it too? And provided the actual helicopter
Did you skip the part where i said the US and UK have equal arguments to receive it?
