you’re admitting that the tomcat is better than the f16 because it can engage people without actually engaging, yet you still think that an f16 with mediocre heatseekers is better?
what in the brain damage you have dude? in your 14528u9q5o43yq25327q54¡q^P^200 hours of play time you still don’t get the fact that at top tier flight performance doesn’t matter at all? especially when it’s limited at a very concrete speed that sits far below the survivality margin? you’re applying the same “zero op” logic on the f16 because it has better flight performance for 1v1 when the mig29 is just the better plane, followed by yak41 and tomcats.
The Mirage F1 is similarly equipped to the Mirage 2000, should it also be 11.7?
I was debating countering any of the other points you made but after a moment of thought I realized that it was self-evident after reading your post how obnoxiously wrong it is.
the mirage f1 has a very lame radar, the mirage 2000’s radar is actually better than that of the f16’s.
Also, I don’t know where do you find the “wrongness” of my post, it’s a plane with mediocre fox2’s at a br where mach 3 on deck yeets are the meta. Nobody except Somebody_Else, RazerVon and you think that the f16a block 10 fulfills it’s role at top tier. The NETZ is at this moment the best 12.0 because it can kill people quick without engaging AND without pinging others
Mirage F1 radar has the same experience as the Mig 23MLD/ML/MLA radar which you said was good, and Mirage 2000s RDI radar is just absolutely worse than the F16. RDY is the same or better than F16. I can’t blame you for not knowing that though since you’ve used none of those aircraft before :).
If you think the F-16 radar is bad then the only thing thst might be up to your standards is an F-22 radar :))
Oh, don’t worry. Most of the people on this thread have done so. I challenge you to take the Mig 29 out with R-60M and see what we are talking about :)
i’d have the same experience on f16a block 10 if i had an f22 raptor radar on it, basically because i only can use it to scare enemies off and telling them that i’m there. It could even be Superman’s presence sensors and still nothing would change. But blud dun read 🔥🔥.
Oh, don’t worry. Most of the people on this thread have done so. I challenge you to take the Mig 29 out with R-60M and see what we are talking about :)
they’d have a slightly worse experience than the f16a block 10, that’s why they rather spam the r27er’s.
I did. It’s called the Netz which I played way before it got Python 3. No point in playing the American one with no differences(except it being better at ground attack).
when there were no pythons, the r27s were also dog water and the aim9l was still the absolute king of the game. I’d have the same experience as you or any other player before pythons and r27/r24 buff, but you keep being stagnant.
The future is now, old man.
"I hope you mature enough and get off that twitter zoomer phase with your shitty terms cause, you’re a cocky nerd with no real debating skills other than insulting and dodging topics. You call me unskilled, but when i counter your point you say “i don’t care”, you gaslight, strawman and ad hominem one after another. You just sound like the average “sigma” twitter nerdy kid that is too insecure to actually address points without disrespecting the interlocutor constantly and gets upset at someone posting stuff that makes your gears grind hard within your ignorance product of basing your claims on stuff that was hot a year ago but was shifted, because you’re stagnant about opening to any updated test instead
did I ever considered myself to be “very good”? you don’t have to be good to prove a point.
Problem is you are so blind spamming r27er’s that you don’t see, even if your KD on both mig29’s vastly surpasses 6.0 while you’re 4 and below on f16s from when they were hot and aim9l was still the very king of IR missiles. Which is, at least, ironic since you played them before the introduction of pythons.
My main gripe on the f16a block 10 is not that it’s bad because it flies badly, it’s bad because it won’t get kills quicker than the other players now. I’ve lost matches in which I 1v6d, killed 3 with the gun, another with an aim9l and then i run out of flares while going back to base and have no option but dogfight a mig29 that won’t take the fight (because it has all the privilege of not to) and then r60 my arse when i’m desperately running to repair. Your team or the enemy team just evaporates in the time you invest on placing yourself strategically or the time that a 1vx missile-gunfight brawl lasts where you out rate the four guys on your six and chomp on them after the second turn. By the time you’ve whooped four people in two minutes, one of the team has totally disappeared. And it is often yours since you’re busy dogfighting instead of yeeting mach 4 off-rail fox1s at players flying 10km away from you.
My bad. It was supposed to be sarcastic; I’ll include a /s next time.
My Germany MiG-29 KD is diluted with AI kills in order to speed up the stock grind. It is not an accurate depiction.
Welcome to the club; some situations are unwinnable. Do you think this problem revolves around just the F-16 block 10? MiG-29, Mirage 2000, F-14 will all suffer a similar fate from the same conditions. You expect your plane to be a god among men; capable of taking the entire team on at once. I’m not sure what your point is?
Your argument is that singular players perform well in the F-16A Block 10 therefore it’s “borderline useless”?
My stats in F-14B, Netz (with Pythons), MiG-29 (Russian), are all approximately 60-65% winrate… all between 2-3.5 k/d… They’re all very similar.
My stats with the MiG-23MLD and Mirage 2000C-S5 are above those with approximately. 69% and 74% respectively. The only aircraft I do better in is the German MiG-29 because I’ve almost exclusively flown it in squads.
Why is it that I’ve been performing better in the Mirage 2000 with it’s limited ordnance in comparison to anything else? It’s because I’m not relying so much on the missiles, I already know they’re bad and depend less on them to win matches. Do the same in your F-16A and you’ll do better. You can’t possibly pretend the Mirage 2000 is a “superior” dogfighting platform… and yet it performs. Your entire thread is based solely on your inability to perform in the F-16A (one of the best airframes in the game currently)… very evenly matched with other top tiers in both performance and ordnance.
The AIM-9L is an extremely potent IR missile. There are scenarios where your pK chance is >90% in testing, your aircraft is capable of seizing those positions. You have a fantastic main gun. You have the economy to go anywhere on the map and return to base after a 10 minute + long fight… Your missiles have the range to engage enemies who are preoccupied from a distance without ever putting yourself in danger… the only thing the MiG-29 can do better is fire a couple of “no guarantee” radar missiles which are easily defended if you’re aware of it coming… and you should be.
The purpose of the F-16a is to be a low altitude low speed dogfighter, assuming you can stay low in order to beat all SARH in the game, missiles pose you no threat, then you need to stay in a prolonged 1-circle dogfight or rate fight on the deck (where you should already be most of the time anyways).
It’s a very very specific niche, but hopefully the FM buff does come through to the live server and Block 10 F-16s will be domimating as nothing will be able to reliably beat them in a dogfight once they finally get comparable aoa compared to other jets.
thats exactly what i mean, it’s a dogfighting plane in a missile boat meta. Most of my kills came from the guns because i’ve teamkilled lots of people before with the aim9l’s as they will go for the teammate that is flying far away instead of just flying away from the enemy that dumped a flare, it’s ridiculous, therefore i only use aim9l’s on isolated people or pick a bunch of enemies, stay at 780-680kmh and go full no gucci on them, i’ve even managed to kill six people in a minute just with the gun, but we lost because while you’re busy stylin on them hos the rest of the team got obliterated by a netz and a mig29.
