Can the F-16 Block 50/52 Get Its 8-Missile Configuration?
The F-16 Block 50/52 can mount dual-rail launchers on certain stations, allowing it to carry two AIM-120s per pylon instead of one. This configuration has existed and is technically supported by the aircraft. So from a capability standpoint, 8 AAMs is absolutely possible
And before you comment that it has never used IRL you should know War Thunder already includes experimental vehicles, paper loadouts, and uncommon configurations across multiple nations... so tbh this argument has no place beside it is not something completely fictional as stated it dose exist! ..
this plane will always Face 12 missiles spammers so 2 more missiles are more then reasonable!
