So I love the blizzard paint!! Absolutely my favorite aggressor skin. There is a drawing I found of the blizzard scheme, but grey! Any chance we could talk you into that one?

Any chance someone wants to take on the green lizard f-16? The scheme they got when they were tested as an A-10 replacement.

I believe it was prohibited in the F-14 NATOPS to dump and burn. I recall an article with a former RIO discussing that

Thank you for the clarification. Yes I always liked the look of the CFT’s and would have loved to free up 2 extra stations for weapons! I’m a locomotive engineer, not a pilot or maintainer, so the only info I have to go by is reading sources like F-16.net or Mr Rogoway.

Reading the article, 250 USAF F-16CJ’s block 50/52 were delivered optimized for CFT’s, they just aren’t used. Just like the USAF F-15C’s are capable of carrying CFT’s but don’t.

After reading some reference material on F-16.net, I had thought the F-16CM was structurally the same as any other F-16C block 50. No need to be an ass, as I legit thought the block 50/52 were cleared for CFT’s. I had read an article that stated such and how the USAF didn’t feel they were necessary. As a matter of fact, it shows a Spangdahlem jet with them equipped, and discusses their practical use with Wild Weasel jets. https://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/why-dont-new-u-s-air-force-f-16s-use-these-futuristic-1712746714 Again it was a discussion, some of y’all can put the fangs back in.

Are we not getting a block 50? If you stick to US only inventory, you’d be short sighted, since many foreign users carry CFT’s

Heck I’d like to see the ability to add CFT’s. The block 50 is capable of carrying them

Did someone say that there was nothing in the Iraqi Air Force that could beat an F-14 today? As much as I love the tomcat, I would put my money on an F-16

I remember when this question was asked over on the FSX side about the super bug. It was basically explained that a dual engine failure meant punching out.

I saw this the other day and was hoping someone would do it

I use labels, but I also only play offline. I have no shame in it.

Well the bombs are the property of NAVAIR, so they should be thermal coated for more “accuracy” on navy planes

Unless you’re flying a Syrian SU-22!

I’ve never been a fan of fictional skins but I had to break that rule with the VF-84 skin. Nice work

That is no lie. Since the A-10, anything other than a maverick is pointless, well many a LGB. With the bug, I have killed a Tugunska with a MK83, but definitely wasn’t a “tank”. I’ve found the cluster bombs pretty much useless, usually using a mix of rockets and iron bombs right now.

Sorry brother, I'm a rhino fan thru and thru!! Jets have only gotten uglier since the Phantom!

I’m having a heckuva time figuring out wha is and isn’t

Reading the manual and trying it out live, does the EW symbols on the HUD not work or am I just messing up the switchology?

Well a EA-18G “shot down” a F-22. I’ve fought everything from MiG-29’s to SU-25’s to F-5’s and 2000’s and haven’t had an issue defeating them, even in the merge.
