Can I politely suggest that Gaijin draws up a complete blog post regarding BVVDs statement and clearly setting out the full list of rules/criteria in regards to ‘shared vehicles’? Because I still got questions lol

Honestly 14.0 is the only place it would be sorta balanced, it’s better than the F16AM and C both of which sit at 13.7 with the AM needing to sacrifice a missile for a PIDs pylon

A post clarification blog after a video Q&A won’t go a miss as then that would stop people misinterpreting in their own way. Bit how CM’s came a thing after users wanting clarification about a few things I can’t quite remember.

Yeah. Because I’m all for it but BVVDs statement was very short and not entirely clear. Hence my questions to Smin

Do you know if the Niki will have its iconic name written on the side of the turret going forward as right now it lacks its Finnish winter camos
Edited to remove the Hikaristi but if you look at the turret you can see “Niki” written. It’s a neat detail and adds a bit more character to the vehicle.
Also could you perhaps nudge this pls thanks

We dont plan a dev blog on this singular point. It wasn’t that complex or elaborate, nor was it a set in stone rule. He was simply talking about common vehicle series that are straight identical production models operated by multiple nations.
Thats not to say there will never be cases that dont follow that, simply its a general guideline.

I have seen some people talk about how the PIDS pylons are technically capable of mounting AMRAAMs (or at the very least mavs, since I saw someone post an actual irl picture of that).
If that could be done I wouldn’t have a problem with this new F-16C being 14.3. It would also indirectly help both F-16AMs, since they would probably receive the same buff.

Yeah it’s a Belgian F16 with PIDs and MAVs iirc.

Yeah iirc missile fins block the sensors which is why they aren’t mounted there
You can see the MAV isn’t far enough behind to block the sensor

What about stuff like the F/A-18D and F for the US? Both are operated by the US and are identical to units used in Malaysian and Australian service. Yes the US already has a lot of Hornets but they can be foldered out of the way. They would perform similarly but also give the US more options which if foldered shouldn’t be an issue.

“TSPYDER” and “THo-Ni I” is it correct?

I apologise for my phrasing but that sounds like cherry picking.
If it’s just a general guideline and not a clear set of rules/criteria, you’ll only continue to get forum posts/questions and complaints that’s worse for everyone.
I argue that the community should be directly consulted on this front. Directly pull us on whether or not certain rules/Criteria should apply to this shared vehicle rule.
Until then (clear rules/criteria), I’m sorry, but I will contest that it is unclear and by extension, perceived as unfair.
What are you on about lol
The US has both the F/A-18C and F/A-18E, which are functionally identical variants. In such cases, if there is no defined spot in the tree where they can take a new place (Like how the Rafale M can occupy a different line to the C) then those do not fall under what he was talking about, as the US already had/has those variants equals. Thats not to say its impossible in the future, but they are also not part of what he was talking about (Base F-104s, M44s, M55s etc).

That happens and is going to happen regardless of its a set in stone rule or not. People will always spin to see something some way or another.
Feedback is directly taken into account, thats precisely how things like the M44 and M55 came about as common additons in the first place, as BVV explained in the video.
Both of the D and F aren’t needed for the US and would defeat the reason for rank IX unlike Britain and Japan they can come in without messing things up
No plans for it on the camo currently.
And the bug report by chance?
Also thanks
Yeah but there’s no harm in them being foldered for the US at the same time. It’s the same model and same equipment only difference would be the camo.
