F-106 cant fire AIM 26B from what i can see (not the most up to date stuff tho)
so for the F106 to make sense then we need MORE FALCONS

Clearly this must mean the snail will add more Falcons (no they won’t)

i hope they add the swedish falcon missiles to the j35XD. now there might even be a reason to add the j35j with falcons now. still no flares but still cool

Are any AIM-26 capable jets in the US right now?

86

To my knowledge no, the specific variants of aircraft or the full on aircraft have not been added yet

We don’t have any of the ADC planes, so no.

One can only dream…

I wonder if they remember that it has (also) got an IRSTS (AAS-2)

F-106 MA-1 IRSTS

F-106 IRSTS 4
F-106 IRSTS 2

Also the AIM-97 would be pretty cool.

Hopefully. Seeing as its experimental HMS is apparently in the files, I would hope Gaijin would pay enough attention to give it all the proper kit

Looks like I’m going to have my work cut out for me, 1040 pages.

You dont just so happen to have something on the Hughes 71N IRST?

The Draken’s IRST? not explicitly, other than confirming it is the model number of the AAA-4 found on the F-4B, F-101s & select early F-4C’s (F-110A) and as such performance is likely similar.

And are practically just GAR-2 seekers sitting in a cradle.

As an aside note the listed detector material of the seekers, so we have a good idea of the performance delta being similar to that of the AIM-9B & -9D respectively.
