Probably a nod to DCS World's reveal of its own version of the F-16, which was _very_ heavily hyped afterwards. But yeah, watch those Vipers wreck face, baby.
For those who don’t know since Phly didn’t show it, there is a little bit of lore added in at the end of the reveal trailer, don’t skip it, it’s after the credits!
@@josephsembower6659 War Thunder doesn't exactly have a history of leaving little bits of video after the splash screen title for the game, so I understand the assumption on Steve's part
Once I saw the shadow of the intake my mouth immediately fell open. I became the F-16. Also very interested to see how the vortex lift generation gets factored into a plane with as complex aerodynamics as the F-16. We already have delta wings but this thing has well documented performance. I hope they can match up to it.
The F-16 we are most probably getting is the F-16A which uses a Pratt & Whitney F100 which produces 24,000 lbf with afterbuner, this engine is also the one found in early F-15's. The F-16A is also 23,000 lbs so it achieves a more than a 1:1 thrust ratio.
The vents near the leading edge of the wing root on the MiG-29 are there for unimproved airfield use. When they're open the main intakes are closed to help prevent ingestion of FOD.
It's only a matter of time now until we get stuff like the F15-A and even probably up to the Strike Eagle variant, maybe alongside that some SU27 variants of even the Su33. Also the Eurofighter and Rafale are probable now because the beginning of their respective dev cycles began in the late 80's.
@@sulferix7265 because america really needs another good vehicle 🤣 I mean it could be the Harrier 2, i don't know if it is a sea harrier but definitely a Harrier so maybe?
I work on F100-229 engines. The engine on the F-16 in the trailer is an F100-229. I can tell by the probe on the nose cone of the engine 3:25, the flamholder in the augmentor 3:34, and the augmentor nozzle 3:32. So yes, 28-29K lbs of thrust in augmention.
SO excited for the F 16 and the Mig 29. My dad may learn to fly the F 16 soon. I'm still waiting for the F 18, which my dad flew in the Marines. He now flies A4 Skyhawks, and is learning the F-1 Mirage. He trains the Air Force in air to air and air to ground combat of all kinds, and he may learn the F 16 soon, as the company he works for got around 40 block 60s.
@@audunskilbrei8279 He does know about DCS, most of his pilot buddies play it. But neither he nor I have anything but a Mac and a basic joystick, so we gotta get some upgrades first. I hope he will help me learn the DCS F 18 when I get a PC and track IR stuff. He can also teach me the F 16 if he learns to fly it. And since he does dogfighting, SEAD, and BVR for his job, he could also teach me that. I can't wait!
The F16 is awesome and has a special spot in my heart. It is the one that started my love for aviation by getting introduced to a real one (touching it) and flying it in a real airforce simulator with 2 instructors. What an awesome start and great memory...... Getting all warm and fuzzy over here :D
Pandramodo really doing that cinema magic again. Also interesting to see them continue on the story of the Su-25 pilot from the Drone Age update trailer.
At this point, I think War thunder REALLY needs to implement a gen split in the tech trees. There is an absolutely OBSCENE grind to get to the new shiny things they always show off, and the upper level tech trees ARE populated enough to get away with starting at ww2/immediate post-war jets as reserves, then traveling forward.
The later Viper blocks especially 30 block are the ones with the insane P/W ratio. Not that the A model is a slouch but it won’t be as good as those Wiki numbers.
time to grind them for 2 years, spend another 2 getting the sl, then getting sl for crew train, then getting sl for modifications, then playing it, then getting killed by an f35
I just found out TheRadBrad has a kid, now I find out you are having another kid! Thats so awesome, I'm so happy for you Phly. Been watching you for years now, looking forward to the new content with the F16
Whenever I see a new PhlyDaily video, I am always extremely excited and immediately jump on to watch. Thank you for making amazing content and keep with it!
Had a ride in an F-16 painted as an Aggressor, A/c 86-0041, after i did the first three aggressor schemes for the F-16. Ride was an absolute blast, will never forget watching Nellis shrink so fast on the vertical climb after takeoff.
As far as I understand the model f-16 shown (A model) uses a Pratt and Whitney engine that puts out ≈ 29k lbs of thrust at full ab but later models are able to put out 32k + with the newer General Electric motors.
To be fair, you’re looking at the block 52 engine. Actually it’s got more like 10,000 kgs of thrust on the variant we’ll have in game. Still completely insane though.
btw in the wikipedia article you were looking at a f-16c block 50, thats way more advanced than the f-16a which has 23,830 lbs of thrust while afterburning, this of course makes it a lot more balanced against the mig-29 which has an astronomical 18,340 lbs of thrust per afterburning engine but it weighs more than the f-16.
F-16A will use the early PW F100, rated for 23,500. It’ll have similar acceleration to the MLD, but not greater. The MiG-29 however Carrie’s two of those monsters, giving a combined thrust of 36,000 lbs. The 29 will be the monster power to weight monster. The F-16 will be a cross of an F-5 and a GR.7, still an animal, but the 29, she’s different.
Unless they're adding another one, they've yet again dropped the ball for Britain with the tornado. The one in the trailer is the CAS variant with only 2 ir missiles which simply can't compete top tier. They needed to add the f3 (Italy also used this one) which was overall improved with more power, better handling, better radar and better A2A loadout. As it stands Britain's best top tier fighters will still be the Phantoms and Harrier for another patch.
Exactly so fkin sick of this game give Britain an airframe with the same In game capabilities of the Jaguar Gr.1 None of the tornadoes incredible systems will be modelled and it will be forced to fight F-16 and MiG 29 they have really fked over Britain and Germany with this variant. When we could have had a fighting chance with the Tornado F3
The F-16's gross weight is actually arround 20 000 lbs , and the gross weight shown in wikipedia is with 100% internal fuel. So with minimal fuel the Viper has a thrust to weight approaching 1,5. This aircraft is an absolute animal
I haven’t even played this game in years and this is still one of the coolest trailers I’ve ever seen. I’ve listened to this song like a dozen times this weekend now
SERGI LIVES! Phly, I can't believe you missed it. At the end of this teaser, It shows that the Rook pilot from one of the previous teasers lives and there is a decal for him coming in the next update.
phly is morphing into the south Carolinian middle aged father phenotype at a concerningly fast pace. I feel like hes gonna call us "buster" or "champ" real soon
Could not help to recognize how the Mig-29's pulled a Top Gun Maverick upside-down mountain flyover maneuver (3:12) in your video. Really lookng forward to see your air battle videos with Mig-29's and F-16's.
The F-16A is getting F-100-PW-200 engines with 23,900 lbf of thrust with afterburner and empty weight 16,300 lb. This means it should accelerate about as well as a harrier.
My dad flew F-16s his callsign was “Wire” and I’ve never been more proud until this cinematic masterpiece revealing this gorgeous aircraft was revealed🔥
The F-16A had around 23,930 pounds of thrust with afterburner so even though it wont be as crazy as you think it will still be insanely quick to accelerate

The F-16A is getting F-100-PW-200 engines with 23,900 lbf of thrust with afterburner and empty weight 16,300 lb.
This means it should accelerate about as well as a harrier.
