Isn’t the difference barely perceptible unless side-by-side with an F-16?

I mean if a person doesn’t know the difference then yea they wouldn’t know which is which
My take it’s a Thai F-16 as some are bluey greyish which make that yet more harder
Mayhaps, however if one studied them enough, it would become relatively obvious. I don’t blame them for possibly making this mistake, however it’s not an unavoidable one.

I don’t know why people say it’s yet another F-15 because even I know that difference lol
Some people believe that because it’s the path of least effort.
Yea true but same for the Thai F-16 as iirc it’s just another C variant
Indeed.
Yeah… Should have and could have been added in the F-14A update. Maybe even before. Such a shame

They said it wasn’t a leak but a “what I think we might see” kind of list.
As others have commented, basically anyone who doesn’t know the specific differences with the F-2 will mistake it for an F-16C, even with a side by side comparison. Most of the differences are internal and aside from the blue paint, enlarged external features aren’t obvious.

F-16A Block 15 MLUs (with IRIS-T and 120C integration) and OCU4s (lot of CAS options).
(They originally got Blk 15 ADFs and non ADFs, these were later upgraded to MLU and OCU4)

Then yea that would be a good pick as they used they beat CAS drum for the AJ.
So a Thai F-16 make even more sense
I complain about the Leo 2a7v not being implemented correctly, everyone does that with their nations tank and i am vocal about the big gap between the f4f ice and eurofighter. I do not complain about other stuff. So what do you mean? Thats literaly sth everyone does. The matter here is about demanding a vehicle that arguably isnt even needed when there are other options /solutions in the work
On the opposite i am vocal about other stuff as well and support quite a few different endavours
Edit: and the unfairness which is called Sweden, but literaly everybody does that as well

Apologies for late response, finally fell asleep lol
If I can motivate myself enough to gather the sources, write up full development history, etc, then probably. I don’t have too much free time on my hands though unfortunately (overnight stocking moment)
This is just wrong, the F-104G in the German tree does not have Dutch loadouts.
If we don’t see F-15Cs, then yea, a CAS jet for Japan seems likely since mavericks while good, the current optical variants are kinda w/e right now with all the bad weather maps in rotation.
@WreckingAres283 Is there info on the F-16A OCU4? I don’t know enough to tell what I’m looking at when I google lol.

Im talking about the other one. F-20 list is already distant history.

G.59 sounds unrealistic, its weapon is quite questionable.
What makes you say that? Please clarify.
My logic:
Dutch operated them with AIM9-P’s, Germans only with AIM-9B’s. I think it was even mentioned when they finally added the P’s (because for a long time the Ger F-104G was in WT with B’s only) to it that “other countries used them that way” or something along those lines. Quite easy to make the connection that they looked at the German’s neighbours.
Lol, all good. Prob fake yeah.
