The Italian F16A ADF was part of the Peace Caesar program, and had aim120 and aim9L as stated Here when it will be implemented??
the systems to guide the aim7 Sparrow were removed in order to install aim120’s systems
will this historical change be implemented in the current update since you are implementing aim120 c?
Nothing on the dev suggests it.
Unlikely on current F-16 ADF, maybe in the future as entirely new aircraft.
Gaijin decided that the F-16ADF will fill the 12.7 BR for the italy as analogue to the US ADF and will likely not remove it.
Same with MLU in china.
Likely not since Gaijin doesn’t want it to be 13.7 in BR, or 14.0 with AIM-120Cs.
with the exception that Mlu is not the same program, they do historical changes to italy only when they have to nerf it
For example f104S/ASA didn’t had directional rwr and in game it’s implemented even if the plane has bad missiles at damn 12.0
China is treated very good by devs, Italy on the other hand is not. Another Example is the C1 Ariete tank that got it’s weight increased without increasing the armor while in the official brochures it says that the base model had an armor Comparable to Leo 2A4
i can continue for ages
not angry with you
but with gaijin
if they propose themselves as an historical game experience then they should adress this things
Oh im not saying its historical or anything.
Im only saying that gaijin wanted italy to have 12.7 sparrow equipped F-16 and they picked the ADF.
yes but they already have the mig29, that historically didn’t have fox 3 so it’s accurate
Sadly i dont think this will convince gajin to fix the adf
It’s a long discussion, people demanding irl weapons, but Gaijin refuses to add…
yep i know…
it’s not like we are asking them to get the Super Duper Heavy tank “Il Duce” in the game, a super heavy that was clearly fictional/there were only talks about the project in the inner circles of ww2 Italy, we are asking them to add an historical feature to an historical plane and removing a clearly un-historical feature from that (italian f16 had the systems needed to fire the aim-7 removed)
We can try to report it, but we need the second source (as so far we’ve seen only one claiming that), although there is still a risk that they will remove Sparrows without adding AIM-120, like it was with Ariete WAR additional armor, where they fixed the weight, but didn’t change protection.
