Why isnt the f16A block 15 OCU getting what it shoudl have?

I suggest that the F16A block 15 OCU get the Aim-120, the Penguins anti-ship missiles, its conventional bombs and its AGM-65 like seen in these screenshots i took because we see a lot of plane at 12.7 that have at least aim-120 and when uptiered its almost impossible to do anything without radar guided missiles.

fyi, Wikipedia (or any Wiki) isn’t a source.

As for why a vehicle won’t get an armament it used;
Balancing.

Wiki isnt the only source i used ;)

Getting Aim-120s would increase its BR to 13.3 or 13.7. It would not remain at 12.7

As its stands the SQV F-16A OCU in the French TT is the strongest F-16 in game right now and is currently under BRed, it should be 13.0

it wouldnt change a thing since it would be getting actual good radar with its already upgraded turbofan

Getting Aim-120s or Penguins?

The Penguins you’ll need to submit a bug report proving it had them, though they would not change the BR:

SARH radar-guided missiles you would also need to submit a report likewise

Aim-120s would increase its BR to at least 13.3, though more like 13.7 as it also has IRCCM and be on par with the F-16A OCU in the Japanese tree or F-16AM in the French Tree

but as it stands, all the F-16s with IRCCM missiles only such as the F-16A in the French Tree are 13.0 and so the F-16A OCU SQV should have its BR increase

Ty dude but it would be fine to put its br higher because of the upgrades it gets and because its supposed to have aim120s but idk what to do about the agm65 it should get

You’ll have to find proof, such as images of the Belgium F-16A OCU carrying AGM-65s and/or Penguins or good quality documentation

The TT Belgium F-16A has a load of A2G weapons fits, so they had them in service at least, but the question is specifically the OCU. Im not well versed on the F-16s though so your best bet is probably asking over in:

But loadouts are always used as a balancing decision. If they want a vehicle at a perticular BR, they will limit its loadout to fit. In this instance, they likely wanted a 12.7/13.0 SQV F-16 and so didnt add Aim-120s.

This is common, for example the Tornado GR1 used Aim-9Ms but only has Aim-9Ls, the Leopard 2A7 only has DM53 not DM73, etc etc

Ah yes, that 10mm more pen. Too much

are those planes with us in the room right now?
