oh yeah the radar was awful, but hey I bet that wont be fixed but its fine because they pre nerfed the aircraft (like most competitive or meta thinks the UK normally gets lol)
I really need to play it more, trying to get the fronch doritos but honestly it’s just not my vibe, I really want a premium delta wing mirage common gaijin
Yeah, decided that the French tree was probably the only other air tree I was decently interested in enough to bother grinding, so went for the Mirage F1C-200. but Im just playing it as and when I feel like it rather than actively grinding the tree.
No, they unfortunately are not. The Derbys were first made compatible with a singular testbed IAF F-16D-30 provided to Rafael to be used as a demonstrator sometime around. These are where the common F-16D Block 30 Barack I with derby images come from:
Please note these were demonstrators, not all IAF aircraft could use the Derby like these could. The demonstrator F-16D Block 30 Barack I provided to Rafael has since been identified as F-16D-30 No.055.
Around the 1990s at some point in time, the F-16C/D Block 30 & 40 aircraft were all made compatible with the newly acquired Aim-120B AMRAAM. These aircraft were made compatible with the AMRAAM before the Derby. And even then, they never used the Derby or AMRAAM in IAF service, as they were primarily used as strike aircraft as opposed to the F-15A/C in IAF service.
Now stay with me, following the Barack 2020 program which took place around the 2010s, all IAF F-16C/Ds were made compatible with the Derby and I-Derby if they weren’t already, among other upgrades.
For the sake of balance, I agree that the Derby should be on all Baracks ingame, as the ones without ARH pre-1990s upgrades would be hard to play without them given the absent Python 4s ingame.
As of now, I don’t have the sources on me, so it’s more of a take my word for the moment and I’ll get back to you with sources if you wish for me too. We also have a Technical Moderator stating the exact same information regarding Aim-120B integration on the old forums in the comments of this suggestion:
