Very cool plane for the event but its a shame that its not the armed Blackbird
Maybe another time
Nice! NASA scheme looks great but very much hoping there will also be a Heater-Ferris camo that can be unlocked through kills/GE.
IIRC only the twin-seater flew with that camo during testing, but 75-0749 is also painted that way now it’s retired to the Air Force Flight Test Museum.
Obligatory rant, if this thing is getting AIM-120s, many people including me will continue asking AIM-120s for F-14D a bit louder.

Any thoughts on the later variant with a better engine?

I shall keep hold of my hope then for the future.
Since XL-1 is coming with it’s planned equipment of AIM-120 is it safe to assume it’s getting the rest of it’s planned equipment too? Most notably some countermeasures since they were removed from the aircraft and were planned to be reinstalled into the centre wing fairings if it was to enter production.
what did you expect, the XL to be TT ?
That was early, surely that means we will get more news today. Maybe even a teaser (real)
Holy Arjun
With the F-16XL event now coming, US is getting close to having as much F-16s as the French, so is there any way that France can get another F-16 this patch so we can make sure it remains as the tree with the most F-16s?
From what I remember, the F-16XL never got upgraded avionics, so it can’t really launch the AIM-120, even though in the game Gaijin doesn’t seem to care about that.
If it does come, me want it foldered with ADF in TT eventually
I hereby revoke your title as Macron’s Spokesman. 😠
Spoiler
Joking, but I’d actually cry if France gets another F-16
Please Gaijin, do the funny with a Mirage IV or Mirage 2000. MICA is balanced, just limit to 4 (or 2!) and ez 13.3.
Obj 640 event better materialize one day, Smin …

Used is the mounting of an AIM-120 sized (not exact) object into a rail on this aircraft and absolutely not test firing or integrating by any means because for obvious reasons
