F16 with penguin or harpoon , how to question
-
Hello, first thing, a big thank for this formidable theater,
I have a question concerning how to load Penguin’s missiles to a F-16. How can i do that? I wish to do some anti-ship missions but i don’t find how to select Penguin or harpoon on an F-16.
I find a Finland F-18 with harpoon but Nothing for F-16.Thanks for your help, sorry for my bad english.

pick F-16 RNoAF. note- pengium is a short-range ASM…for attacking ships with limited airdefence.

Only vipers capable of carrying Harpoons are the Korean AF and HAF PX III & IV (although missiles never bought lol… )

Thank you for the clarification, now it’s clear.
For my knowledge, usaf F-16 cannot be loaded with harpoon ? -
I need to be a bit more clear.
Capable = hardware capable + software capable.
Hardware-wise, all Vipers can be loaded with the missile via the standard MAU-12 weapon pylon and standard mil bus cable. Software-wise (missile code data in MMC & SMS) AFAIK only Korean are fully capable, HAF last 2 orders have the software in there but the missiles where never purchased for the Air Force, only Navy has the variant. About USAF, without knowing the latest M7 tape additions about this missile, IIRC it wasn’t in the past tapes. But maybe I am wrong and needs to be confirmed directly.
