Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

It depends on the Missiles.
I don’t think much is known about the TC-1 and TC-2.

I’d probably say 13.7, maybe 13.3

It’s probably gonna be like others ranks, 2 per line usually and a few exceptions with up to 3

What would make it 13.x?

i’d prefer a ROCAF F-16C/D or F-16V perhaps

F-16V is gonna happen for sure
With the US PoBIT

F-16V then maybe the C or D block 70 in a folder after, since those are being delivered this year iirc

What would be different between the V and upgraded C?

V would be the upgrade to block 70, C is the new airframe

Isn’t it the other way around though?
And what’s different gameplay wise

mhm. you’re probably right.
I think flight performance should be somewhat similar to a F-16C.

I thought the TC-1 should have IRCCM but it doesn’t.
TC-2 though should be AMRAAM like I think.
It should be able to carry 4 missiles each iirc.

There’s no difference for them whether they are new built or upgraded. It’s just F-16V Block 70/72.

F-16C/D would get the better engine which the F-16V did not

The engine is rather weak iirc

Which engines are we talking here
GE-132? GE-129?

GE-129, the V upgrade gets F100-PW-220/229

it has 2x9,500 lbf(19,000 lbf) on an empty weight of 14,299 lb.
F-16C should have 28,600 lbf on empty weight 18,900 lb.

yeah, it’s closer to a F-16A with 23,800 lbf on empty weight 16,300 lb

That’s the difference between the Block 70 and 72. Blocks ending in 0 have the General Electric engine whereas the blocks ending in 2 get Pratt & Whitney engines.

An engine upgrade isn’t even a part of the Block 70/72 the Block 50 already has the F110-GE-129 engine and the Block 52 already has the F100-PW-229.

Those engines are very comparable though no? GE-129 gives 131kN and PW-229 gives 129kN from my quick research
