Workhorse: F-16A Block 5

Woah, it’s useless

TT GRB 12.0 F-16 has IRCCM missiles, this thing is just not needed

I wonder what the next ground event vehicle will be

Calling it, 1 year or so from now we’ll get a another block 5 but as a non event vehicle for a different tree

Naval** ground was the t72b3 nerfed

I just hope it gets the full loadout as we saw in early deployments and trials:

Loadouts

I’m happy there’s an early F-16A model in-game now, I hope to see a Block 1 sometime in the future as well, maybe in the US TT this time?

NF-16A Block 5, has no IRCCM missiles. Its not a AIM-9P4!
The Squadron Vehicle F-16 has AIM-9M and Magic2. On top it has APG-66(V3)

Let me bring it too the point its a worse copy&paste F-16 than the Squadron Vehicle F-16A Block 15 for the french TT.

So just a f16, without anything unique or special.
Not going to be even worth gaijin coins.
God should made it even premium , so it would had something

Bah copy paste bruh

Another high effort event, thanks gaijin

This is all just laziness on the part of the developers; they don’t want to have to model anything new. I promised myself I wouldn’t grind any event where the vehicle wasn’t really cool.

Always nice to get more Dutch stuff.
But i hoped it would get atleast one unique airshow livery but it seems it wil only get the fictional dark horse skin as a second livery.

Given that MiG-25PD is unique for its kind and one of a thing in War Thunder is packing about 20GJN I wonder what would be the value for this aircraft when the event finally ends. At the same time I wonder how much worth would it be the said battleship event given the recent efforts with event vehicles.

Personally I don’t think this situation will get to better (actually unseen and unique vehicles like MiG-25PD and so on) because great majority of the community doesn’t care about event vehicles since they can be bothered with more important stuff like work and study or simply not interested in this part of the game but I’m also sure that the few people that care about getting said vehicles would like to request information on why in the all circles of hell the event vehicles uniquenesses are degrading each time?

For once Gaijin provides a candy, a band-aid, a short term solution (MiG-25PD for example) just to blast people’s interest in event vehicles thinking with the Foxbat things would improve twice with the T-72B3 Arena-E and F-16A Block 5 with no unique weapons when the Squadron variant in the same tech tree is arguably superior with even better missiles for its battle rating while both vehicles absence proper long range air-to-air weapons. And to not being inconsistent the vehicle is great surely, but the fact that it also has a DevBlog post feels, in my opinion like a slap in the face.
