Yeah all BOL dispensers function the same, its a unique CM type.

So the Small caliber CMs on the F-16s function the same as the one with BOL?
So if the BOL pods got changed would the F-16’s CM pods stay the same?
There are three CM types;
BOL
Standard
Large
F-16 TERMA pods all fire standard CM’s.

Huh. Alright.
I thought they were the Small BOL CMs, but I guess not.
that’s true su-30sm and eurofighters were the only ones that could do this bug back in 2025, but i believe he was talking about a similar bug that is currently in game and this time exclusively for the su-30sm/sm2 and su-30mkm
it’s possible but not 100% consistent for some reason and it does give some advantages
Well, it is a bug, not an intended feature, so it is still irrelevant for the conversation.
i didn’t see what was the original topic of the convo, i just wanted to correct what was being wrongly said
Fair point. Originally i was just saying that
this is factually wrong. Russia has as much stuff nerfd or incorrectly implemented as any other nation in the game, and gaijin quite often denies even most obvious proofs in regards of Russian vehicles or weapons
Thats just outright nonsense
you mean the plane that they gave a radar it doesnt use IRL that just happens to be a huge upgrade for gameplay purposes over its actual radar?
and upgraded engines that were only tested not deployed at the time it was added?

And yet it’s still missing the actual IRL capability that has evidence and proof
again that was the worst possible example you could chose
because they straight up gave it a radar that was never mounted to it and is a huge upgrade over what it should have
and engines that it arguably shouldnt have either, that are again a huge upgrade

And you are holding to it with both hands. It isn’t the only example I showed
and let me see what the initial reply was to
oh yeah
and lets see what happened when they were adding the Su-30SM2
it got a radar that it has no documentation of using
and it got engines that there was only documentation for recent testing and not service usage
so yes, it is a very good example of a russian aircraft getting upgrades without documentation or really any sources

Again, any words on my other examples? Or you gonna hold this one like a holy grail?
It has to be mechanic specific wise? Coz i can say a few that arent, Pantsir S1 addition, SM SV addition, BMPT launch (absolutely broken fot 6 months) IS-6 too, fictional KH-38MT addition (when it was added, it was facing ADATS and FlarakRads ffs), wet dream fictional battleships; can even say Obj 192 being the only modern high calibre mbt even tho NATO has its counterparts
Ah wont forget the nerfed Brimstones. Man, i am so sure if they were soviet they would be fire and forget in day 1 of launch
Stingers not having its right G limits because Igla cant pull that much too

F-14 addition (literally caused mixed matchmaker due to sheer opression), F-16 addition and removal of its IRL limiter because it was loosing to MiG-29 (subsequent giga nerf of MiG-29 as well), Rafale addition (hard meta since 2024, man i am sure if it was soviet it would bleed all of its speed in a single turn and MICA would flatspin in 95% of slow speed launches while having more drag than parachute retarded bomb), F-5C still running colder than G.91 Y, jet with literally the same engines, A6E TRAM with Skippers at 10.7, A4E with TV guided bombs at 9.3 (but its suddenly a bad thing when Yak-130 can do same thing), F-15A with IRCCM missiles at 12.7, same br as MiG-29 that only has R-60s, F-104 ruining 9.3 bracket for how many years before it was turned into a lawn dart? And even after the nerfs it still can absolutely dominate the bracket if played correctly. And mechanic specific wise fuel dumping that massively buffed some of the US early jets (casually got above 3.0 K/D in F9F-2 despite my average being around 1.7-1.8 K/D)

they added the MiG-29 at the same time the addition of the F-16 itself isnt a sign of bias.
no FBW jets have their actual limiters modeled.
i doubt this is actually intentional.
extremely slow and not FnF.
Yak-130 carries twice as many on a much more modern airframe
ignore the extremely OP R-27ER and ET though
you mean gave them parity with other jets because of a way to remove an artificial nerf mechanic?
But nerfing MiG-29 and buffing F-16 is
unintentional for how many years at this point?
at the br where nothing can counter it outside of another jet.
ignore the fact that N019 is literally the worst radar at 12.7 that can be notched by accident. And F-15A still has double the “good missiles” over MiG-29, not to mention difference in flight model, RWR and countermeasures
3.0 K/D without even using your brain past holding pitch key? Amazing parity, totally not overpowered
So it is fine for A-4E to exist at 9.7 then? Fair and balanced?
