The only way it wouldn’t be is if it was at a lower br. Like 11.7, but thats unlikely.
F-4F ICE without AMRAAMs would only have AIM-9Ls. No way it would end up being 11.7 with just that - and it wouldn’t get Sparrows either.

Well if this comes before the teaser, I wonder what will we get as this update’s flagships.
Does LITENING II have better FLIR resolution than LANTIRN on F-14B?

@EpicBlitzkrieg87 one more question how many r27s can smt carry? the usual 2?
So this F-16C Block 50 surely has the HMD then right?
And possibly later AIM-9s, like the mikes?
It’d be like the K2000 but without Python 3s so maybe only 11.0
Dev blog specified AIM-9L so I assume that is the best sidewinder it gets.
The devblog specifically states AIM-9L, which i find odd tbh, especially if r73 is going on the new Mig-29, but I guess we’ll see soon enough.

That would be good, that way they can add the R-73 to the MiG-29SMT and it would be pretty balanced
Possibly AIM-9Ls + HMD? I could see that being reasonably fair

The HMD would be the big thing really
dont tell me you still think r73s are op

Maybe germany will get a Polish F16C, who knows xD
Correct me if I’m wrong but HMD came with block 50/52+, not 50.

Where did I say that?
R-73 I think would be fine. All this makes me super curious as to what other nations will get, though. F-16C blk50 is a MASSIVE technology leap for War Thunder. I dont think we’ve seen a jump this big in a long time

All the way back as blk 42s had them i think
MiG-21F-13 to MiG-21SMT/MF was still big jump because we didn’t have advanced IRAAMs except SRAAM back then.

Sure, but we’re looking at practically active service aircraft now
Well the F-16C not being on the list gives me hope that there’s still more exciting surprises that artn on the leak list. Also a great CAS plane for America, as now we get a thermal pod with the ability to slave and fire mavericks. This alone should make hunting and killing Pantsir alot easier.
