They’re the same thing, the difference is what missile is used. Officially I’ve only seen them referred to as MRs source wise, but I’ve seen some reporting on them as LRs and stuff, nothin official. What would be needed in that case is details on them using the I-Derby ER, then it can be safely assumed. (I also happen to be the biggest supporter of this exact SPYDER system being added, given it’s the same chassis as the AiO. Please gaijin)

The F-16XL was never seriously considered for production, unlike the Yak-141.
It was only a delta testbed considered for strike capabilities.
The F-16XL was very thoroughly weighed as an option against the F-15E…
(literally uses the Better SPYDER AiO chassis aswell, Please gaijin please)

its was until it lost ?
plus only result matter for gaijin
its did fly and has some fake weapons but still can be added.
And still lost.
It’d be trashy anyways, and never carried AIM-120s or any pylon related to AMRAAMs.
Not having ESA is a disadvantage, but it’s not too substantial. I’d say giving the F-16I the Aim-120D wouldn’t be the worst long term decision, but for the Ra’am it just might be, given the F-15I+ will likely manifest before the end of the decade along with the F-15IA. The Sufa will likely get an upgrade too at some point, but we have nothing on it yet which is why I say it’s the best bet.

And the Yak-141 to production capacity was never built? What is your point?
I’m pretty sure the F-16XL is on the 2026 decal
It was build, just not functionally as it is ingame.

I’m really surprised we haven’t had any “guesses” yet, we have any word on why yet?

Not having ESA isn’t too dangerous. Gaijoob seem incapable of adding a somewhat realistic ESA. They are just faster MSAs right now.

If I had to guess, I’d say that the leakers are intimidated by the cease and desist Gaijin sent to the Olivia leaker
100% it has to be an event vehicle.
People here is making “guesses” on that they’ll add it as a TT vehicle, to which:

You’re acting like it would be any worse than other vehicles like the B-66 or F-105
like many thing in war thunder.
many plane got non existen weapons.
F-111F with AIM-9Ms or this one, I guess I will choose the F-16.
It will be like 2 years late Mirage 4000.
Edit: Perfect squadron vehicle but I object any unique squadron vehicle unless RP limit goes up from 20K
