Why respond with “XD”? Is my question not valid? Are you familiar with him or his work?
Apparently he works for a company that gets commusion works from gajin.
Those here are his passion projects and he already has multiple vehicles in the game of those and many lore in development

Liked it. Hope that some of the Skins make it into the German tree. So far only one skin made it on the Premium Leo. The others never were accepted, sadly.

Not to forget about “Reg25RUS” who did the cockpit, which we haven’t seen yet live on the dev server ;-)

your best bet for more swiss camouflages would be to create a topic with the ones you would like to see from warthunder live. Maybe a gaijin employee who chooses the camouflages will see it and add some into the next trophy case
Even better: Like and download the skins on live! That also tells them what the community wants…
(Be generous with them clicks: The new P-16 is not the only Swiss skin I have publish, he he he!)
I know - you Milan skin is perfect fit. Do you get anything from GJ when someone buys it on the marketplace?
I love it, i’m gonna download that as soon as the P-16 gets released

Can you make it semi-historical? It should meet the criteria because it’s the swiss standard skin and for semi-historical it’s enough if the camouflage was on another plane e.g. swiss hunter

I believe they get gaijin coins
Hey, I couldn’t find anything online stating the P-16 had sidewinders at any point. Is there any documents supporting this at all?
The little rockets are more accurate than the guns. lol
I suspect it is an extrapolation - Hunters apparently got Sidewinders in 1963, so the P-16 WOULD HAVE RECEIVED THEM … if it had ever entered service.
According to publicly available sources, the P-16 had four hardpoints to mount a/a or a/g missiles. The only missile available at that time would be th AIM-9B. So for me its logical that the AIM-9B is on it.
Did anyone see the slats moving?
I haven’t seen any source mention A-A missiles for het hardpoints at all - which have you seen it in??

Quelle: Die Flugzeuge der Welt (1960)
Also on this page: FFA P-16 | Schweiz-Wiki | Fandom, specifically it is:
- William Green, Gerald Pollinger: The Airplanes of the World. Werner Classen Verlag, Zurich and Stuttgart 1960.
And it is the only reference anywhere that mentions any guided munitions at all.
Green’s “All the world’s aircraft” were highly regarded reference works at the time, but not always entirely accurate for ultra-modern aircraft (as at the time of publication).
I have one of his books “Famous Bombers of the Second World War” - published in 1975 (copyright 1959, 1960, 1975), and even with that historical time frame it isn’t perfect. Back in 1975 it was a great reference… now it is a historical curiosity :)
Since the original source is a 1960 book at a time when AIM’s were not commonly carried, nor were guided ASM’s common, I’m going to suggest that it is highly aspirational - that is what they hoped it might carry, or indeed it is just a sales pitch from the manufacturer.
Either way it isn’t any sort of primary evidence IMO.
Yes, Sidewinders were part of the planned and tested weapons options.
