As some of you might have heard, in march the Air Force has ordered the PAWS system for the Air National Guards and Air Force Reserves F-16C.
To sum it up, PAWS consists of 2 pylons integrated with missile warning sensors and countermeasure dispensers.
(I know what some of you might be thinking: "ED said theyre gonna modell a 2007 blk.50 F-16C, and that PAWS system probably requires super flashy new tech that we dont have in DCS")
When it comes to the tech, its already all there, it might be a suprise to some of you but PAWS relies on the AN/ALQ-213 countermeasure panel (the same that can be found in the A-10C) and the only work ED would have to do, would be to integrate that panel into the Viper and model the PAWS pylon (and of course a bit of coding)
What im trying to say is, that it would be a fairly easy job for ED, and the upgrade would greatly enhance the survivability of the Viper.
