As a ten-year fan of WT, I know the problem points very well in this area and I have a very handy suggestion for this matter.
First of all, the Block 50 does not need change, this new aircraft is to update the American Air TT, in reality it should use AMRAAM, but it is clear that it is still too early, and if the AIM-7 is used, it looks a little out of line with history and reality.
So I have an idea to temporarily remove the AIM-7 and just keep the AIM-9L, so that it can be more “real”.
The Block 50 can be used as a better F-16A for the time being, there is nothing wrong with this, there is no need to worry about the BVR of American Air, we have the F-14A / B, and the F-16ADF, which does not affect anything.

Conversely, if you modify Block50 to something else in order to add AIM-7, then this is not necessary, because this is not much different from ADF, it is good to continue to keep Block50, we can just use AIM-9 for the time being. As for AMRAAM, wait until the time is right before handing it out to Block 50, which I think is the perfect plan.
And we will all understand you, understand GAIJIN, there is nothing to worry about. : )

I agree with this.

There’s also no harm in letting it use the Aim-7M and it’s not like it was impossible either so really there no reason to care

It Litening II pod, you can tell the difference. Lantern has bigger FLIR window while Litening II has smaller FLIR window.

That is entirely untrue, if Israel doesn’t get a BVR capable F-16 this patch then I’m gonna riot

Would you settle for an F-15A?
That would suffice

Hi man, don’t worry about this, although the Israeli F-16 has not used the AIM-7, and the AMRAAM is too advanced and looks more difficult, but there is a solution to this, such as BVR can be handed over to the F-15A Baz.
The AIM-7 and Typhon3 are sufficient for the task

No F-16 operator took the option up so I wouldn’t bet on it.
would still be a neat feature
I would not argue if the larger plane ever appears in the game
Do your words about the Aim-120 apply only to F-16C?
That is, Germany will not have F4F ICE on an already outdated 3rd generation glider? As for me, this should be the very first plane that AMRAAMs will receive in the game. In the next patch, even its input will simply be of no interest to anyone.

F-16AJ is good. Literally part of the meta.
If we get 12.3 this update, Japan gets F-15J.

I sense gaijin won’t add the ICE as it will be just food now.
Though if the US agrees to the Danish selling it’s F-16 to Argentina. I would imagine Germany getting them as Argentina is more or less a sub tree is what I’m hearing.
