No that’s the CM that upgraded to block 50 standard The v is 70 + The CM is a current program and V is a slated future upgrade The US still uses 900 on the high end and 850 on the low end f-16s
That’s the PoBIT. no where do they mention F-16V

But PoBIT is just that, it’s upgrading older F-16C Block 40/42 and 50/52 to F-16V standards. There’s no need to separately make a separate program to upgrade F-16s to the same standard
It seems you’re right it’s just the article that says F-16V and then this is the source my b
Article that added the v bit: USAF upgrading 608 F-16s to V variant - Alert 5 It has what you posted listed as their source

See its a cool idea but idk if gaijin would be willing to add it because it needs to be placed on the ground. Maybe if we had other nations needing similar style vehicles then it may be looked at but i just cant see it.
Imo its probably more likely we will see NASAM HML which is a slightly worse SLAMRAAM as it lacks the 9X.
It wouldn’t really be any good it still only uses AIM-120-D3’s but it looks cool lol
Eh, id say still better than the Elde, more missiles, better range, and can move. The Elde only having an effective range on jets of about 6km and no datalink makes it only effective as a drone killer.
Ill take mid Radar missiles for the ability to carry more missiles and have actual mobility.

I want these as separate variants tbh, foldered of course. I love collecting stuff like this and it souod bolster lineups, which I always play with.
Yeah articles often associate Block 70 with F-16V but they’re not exactly the same, USA for example is upgrading its F-16Cs to Block 70 standard but they’re still gonna be called F-16C. Secondary sources are rarely 100% accurate as they tend to confuse things that are closely related, even I thought the F-16V and Block 70 were the same thing at first

I love this but I want Oregon city class cruiser more.
I would love to see the kv-150 / T-150 added. (Maybe a tech tree alternative to the kv1e)
