      >LANTIRN
      ok so that's a good targeting pod
      still doesn't explain why you would carry another one besides that
      this one uses 2 too

          You clearly didn't read, LANTIRN contains both the AN/AAQ-13 navigation pod and the AN/AAQ-14 targeting pod.

          thx, indeed I didn't read properly

          those conformal tanks look like shite

          wrong, makes it look more bulky and menacing

          If it makes you feel better USAF F-16's don't have ctf's installed.

          They look like shit and they're dumb, if you wanted extra fuel permanently attached to your plane why didn't you just design a bigger plane? At least externals have the "what if I need to jettison them" excuse.

    couldn't they at least have made them more like the F-18 CFTs? those aren't as ugly. not pretty, but not as bad as the F-16's

      Have you seen the size difference between an F-18 and F-16? The F-16 is a smol girl so having the conformal tanks carry the same fuel will make it look bulky while the F-18 can look sleeker since it had more size to spread it out

    the J-10 in comparison, first flight 24 years after the F-16, can only carry 4 missiles max.

    Does it let it track and shoot double the targets or something?

      Actually, with two pods it can shoot at n squared targets.
