General Dynamics explicitly stated there was no A2G systems in F-16A ADF. That’s why.
We also have the unclassified manuals.
And yes, cabling was implied in my post.
Which has the same distance between engines as Su-27 and 30.
Why do they mark everything as suggestion? It’s not a suggestion it’s a bug that needs to be fixed.
Where?
Then why up them to -15OCU spec before undergoing, final refit to -15ADF standards?
Because if it uses Historical documentation, it’s automatically “a suggestion” as it requires further review. Even if it’s an open & shut case.
A good example is this one
“Thank you, forwarded as a suggestion.”

Gatekeeping something just because it’s not popular isn’t the way to go.
Its not about being popular or not. Its about proving that it is actually combat ready and fully integrated. Which is what Gaijin usually requires from weapons to be added but somehow waived the KH38MT through even tho it has no proof like that

-15 OCU is after ADF.
OCU is… entirely decentralized upgrading.
It is not MLU, no where near as comprehensive and standardized as MLUs.
An OCU could mean new radar, weapons, instrumentation.
OR it could mean wiring changes and avionics package upgrades.
Or anything else.
" The first F-16A ADF conversion was completed in February 1989, while a contract was placed for kits to update and modify a total of 270 F-16A/B’s at the Ogden Air Logistics Center in Utah. The Block 15 airframes used for the ADF program were all meant to be upgraded to block 15OCU standard, and both programs ran in conjunction. Aircraft entering the Ogden ALC for ADF upgrade also received the Block 15OCU avionics installation. The net result is that all ADF aircraft are Block 15OCU airframes. The last ADF left Ogden in 1992."
its a really fun tank honestly the only thing i dont like about it is the reload but everything else about it is nice.
I mean its a fully stabilized 122mm APHE slinger whats not to like.

they absolutely do not, everything suggests it doesnt exist past a mockup looking for export sales to fund development

it is very common to offer an option that doesnt actually exist by someone ordering it will provide the funding for development
and yeah its not in the prototype stage because it never got to that, everything weve seen suggests it never progressed past a mockup in a brochure

Thales owns russian optical development lol, the Russians haven’t gotten very far without their Catherine FCs
Current KH-38MT is a literal work of fiction as the missile itself, let alone a functional one on various launch platforms

It does, but it talks that the first stage of the rocket provides an acceleration of 22G which is needed to arm the missile.
doesnt really matter though because even gaijin have admitted they were stupid
still havent fixed it though
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/yUohrEMuQLna
The propulsion section consists of a launch motor and a dual-thrust
flight motor. The launch motor ejects the missile from the launch
tube. The missile coasts a safe distance (about 9 meters) from the
gunner before the dual thrust flight motor ignites and provides a
sustained 22 gravity acceleration that arms the missile.
Such a great source showing us how Stinger can accelerate at 22Gs, now find me something that states the actual average G load of the missile. But now at least read what the source is talking about before telling me I shouldn’t listen to RU propaganda.
Who should I listen to ? Random guy on a forum that can’t comprehend three simple sentences in English ? No thanks.

Sure, but that doent justify using a out of context quote to prove a point, and at least gaijin still use the same metric for all manpads which has this kind of guidance, which also affect the more modern russian missiles.
tbh I didnt read it to thoroughly because I had to go do something right then
what other missiles does this affect? its not like strela is easy to dodge kinematicly in game
This doesn’t apply to the Stinger, read the relevant report (Here) on the issue, I’m happy to answer any questions you have.

the igla-s or the verba, the latter for example still uses the same 10g as the igla
