Sorry about that.
Belgian Air Force is not really explicit when it comes to its material. One some website you will find AIM-120B and at the same time they don’t talk about GBu-39, you have to go on another website which states that they will use GBU-39 in 2020 but on that very same website you can’t find any specifics to which version of the AIM-120 they use.
Eagle eye could have corrected me on the post he participated to talk about EPAF F-16 loadouts.
So, Mystic, i applogize if as a fellow member i put you on the wrong path ….
Each time I read about F-16 MLU BAF (Now BAC for Belgian Air Component instead Belgian Air Force) loadout I’m loughing a little bit! Of course, if Belgian F-16 are implicated in a conflict they use what they have. If for some reasons (economicals or politicals) the ministery of Belgian defence didn’t buy some weapons it not means that the aircraft can’t use them.
Since Update M6.1, the MLU BAF can carry GBU 39 SDB and JDAM furthermore is ready for AIM-120 D.
So, were not in real life and I’m wonder why in simulation (the best there is : BMS) it is not possible to use the full capacity of the models? Those who really want to do with the country capabilities just have to load the weapons in use in those countries.
For myself, I don’t see why I must be in such limitation. Two years ago I’ve talk with a mecanicial teacher at the under officer school (Safraanberg: ERSO-Ecole Royale des Sous-Officiers) about the real capacity of Belgian F-16, especially about AGM-88 HARM. His response was: we have not the drill (of course I known it- I leave the BAF more than 30 years ago now) but if we should, we could and for the modification, the F-16 is a so modular aircraft that it will not be a big problem. I already do that by the Theater Editor whenever it’s possible. But at each theater update I must do the same things again.Very boring! :mad:
It’s an other philosophy in our great sim.
