Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Bruh every new thing I learn about this new F-16 only makes it worse.

So not only does it have the lowest missile count at 14.3-14.7, but it also has the worst AESA radar at those BRs?

Fixed it for ya.

for bvr theyre better, for targets above 20km in distance

You know there has been a major drop when RR&D goes to 200+ new posts in half an hour.

its saving the us tree bro dont worry, our savior is here

Yeah I usually do BVR in those planes.

Even then I don’t take full 120C in either of them (besides that fact that I haven’t unlocked the 120C mod in my AESAphoon).

Nah, there was just a pretty lenghty discussion regarding the AIM-120D

If you’re going above mach 1.5 the drag reduction on the c-5 matters a lot more and its faster through most of its travel. the aim120a/b will almost stop midair after about 40km due to drag. the c-5 will go a lot further and do it in less time if you’re launching both from mach 1.5+.

is it better for 20km and below shots? i want to test that on statshark

Let me be the bearer of more bad news, it is very likely a Block 52 with a slightly worse engine than the current Block 50.

since next update we are getting the CRV block 2 for germany, i would like to talk about business, and this is the business in question


12 missiles at least according to some media, and possibly more

Spoiler

truly a peak addition W gaijin

Im only speaking from my in game experience. Idk what stat shark will say. but in my experience they are better.

Nah, that’s too OP

Can’t have the full missile load on these vehicles for whatever reason

oh alright, ill check and see if its actually noticeable or not

Compared to other aircraft at that BR:

Anemic missile count
Meh radar with terrible gimbal angles, arguably the worst ESA
Mediocre flight performance
No 360 RWR, no MAWS etc.

Surely it’s going to be competitive… right?

It gets better! wait till’ they announce it has a different FM and its actually worse than Blk 50.

They totally understood the US 14.7 problem and solved it spot on. /s

full missile load its gonna be around 36 that is removing all capacity for extra cannon ammo, ik it has 2 sets of storage racks wich each can hold 6 or around 300-400 rounds per rack


120c is 24.6 120b is 25.5, so yea its a little better if you launch it fast
