I also find it a bit weird that they went with another Belgian F-16AM when there’s already one in the tech tree. That said, I’d still rather see a copy-paste premium than a unique French aircraft locked behind a paywall.
In my opinion, premium vehicles should ideally be C&P or export variants, while indigenous and unique vehicles belong in the tech tree where everyone can access them through gameplay. A premium F-16AM might be uninspired, but at least it doesn’t create FOMO around a one-of-a-kind French aircraft that many players would feel forced to buy.
If Gaijin wanted an F-16 premium, a Dutch one would probably have made more sense for variety, but I’d still take a copy-paste premium over losing a unique Mirage or Rafale variant to the premium section. Now if only they would add such a plane…
Plus the fact they have been teasing us just for a F-16 is shameful. The flagship premium of the French tree isnt even a French design

Who cares about FOMO when there is fear of never getting french vehicles.
What is the point of having every standard of Rafale, having few is enough

True, Gaijin tells us that Benelux doesn’t prevent France from getting new French designs, but in the meantime, the last French designs were 3 updates ago for tanks and 2 updates ago for aircrafts.

Yeah it’s crazy to get such lies, copypaste kills lives !
They only concern I have with this one is that it seems very similar to the top F16 in the tech tree and therefore, you would be buying a plane to research the same one you could have unlocked for free.
Hello guys. Just to provide you a response here.
We wanted to add a solid, all round useful and practical multirole aircraft as a premium vehicle here, which the F-16AM is an ideal candidate for both in terms of air and ground battles. Being at an ideal BR for a premium aircraft.
With that in mind, we appreciate your feedback and don’t rule out the possibility of a second premium, perhaps of domestic nature, being a possible consideration in the longer term future too.
