Can the F-16A with AIM-120 really fulfill the mission of providing ground support for the RB12.7 in land warfare?

After the F-16A MLU was equipped with the AIM-120, the land combat RB reached 12.7. Could the AGM-65B actually fulfill the role of providing ground support for the 12.7BR?

If ur careful sure but really map dependent, i done fineish there with the German 11.0 F4F and JP F5E with 4x 65B, imo using your BVR stuff to do CAP is better with it tho.

the F16A MLU block 20 is a degraded F16C, the MLu is supposed to use the same armament as the C except the designation pod which is a LANTRIN

This will not change his Br now that he has these fox 3 so he might as well give him his real AIM 120 C and AIM 9M weapons but apparently photo evidence, PDF and different links are not enough to prove it for gaijin…

China received F16A/B MLU gaijin could at least give us a less modern F 16B (the armaments came gradually) without fox 3 to have an F16 in 12.0 and repair the F16A MLU as in my bug report

Spoiler

but gaijin prefers to condemn the MLU in a Br where everyone with 120 flar has better radar and FOX 2 with IRCCM
