Dude exactly that. It will be blatantly OP at 13.3.

7

Theres an issue saying a plane will be ruined and the same plane will be overpowered ;-;

8

im pretty sure something was mentioned about it only being 4, and them only get aim9L as their best IR missile

someone posted datamine yesterday, and ADF gets 6x AMRAAMs.

According to this datamine it can carry an AIM-120 in slots 1,2,3,7,8,9 (6):

F-16A-15ADF [ITA]:

  • radar: AN/APG-66(V)1 → AN/APG-66(V)3
  • countermeasures: 60x Split regular countermeasures → 30x Split regular countermeasures + 15x Split large countermeasures
  • new loadout(s): 6x AIM-120A
  • loadout changes: 2x AIM-7M + 2x AIM-9L (stock) → 2x AIM-120A + 2x AIM-9L (stock)
  • custom loadout changes:
    • slots 1, 2, 8, 9 changed: added 1x AIM-120A option
    • slots 3, 7 changed:
      • added 1x AIM-120A (stock) option
      • option changed: 1x AIM-7M (stock) → 1x AIM-7M:
        • added modification requirement: AIM-7M
        • no longer available stock

I wouldn’t even take the AIM-9Ms even if it had them. They’d just slow you down. I might even leave two AIM-120s behind for the same reason.

No HMS, trash IR missile compared to R-73. R-77 is better at ranges where it actually matters. Equal avionics.

MiG-29SMT, Su-33, Su-34 are all very capable of fighting F-16 ADF with AIM-120s. Su-27 too, even though it has worse avionics.

The most powerful plane at 13.3 will probably be the Su-34.

Flight models aren’t everything.

Except they’re missing IRCCM and JHMCS/HMD.

And MAWS, and 120 countermeasures instead of just 60, and CAS options.

14

I only named differences with both the F-16AM and OCU. Pretty sure the OCU just has 45 CM w/o MAWS

15

which F-16 has MAWS??

16

Belgian F-16AM- arguably the best F-16.

17

Well yes, OCU is also trash so

I’m mainly comparing it to F-16AM and F-16C.

19

well if the OCU can sit at 13.7, with the differences being the P3, IR Only HMS and less countermeasures, I dont see why the ADFs should sit at 13.3

21

The OCU has 9Ms. That’ll always cause an increase in BR.

23

Because MiG-29SMT, and Su-34 vs F-15As, F-18As and F-14Bs is not a fair fight.

Having Fox 3s is not something you can just disregard because of flight models.

Also why should F-16 ADF with AIM-120s be at the same BR as F-16C Block 50, it makes no sense.

24

Also don’t talk abt my baby like that, I love the OCU

25

The only reason I see for that to happen is having Fox 3s, HMS and Python 3s, which actually turn unlike AIM-9s. I just can’t forgive its CM count.

26

Python 3s are fun, especially 1-2km in a headon when people expect a gunfight (in RB atleast)

27

Pythons can be fun because of the proxy fuse, but if the enemy is paying any attention at all, they aren’t hitting.

28

I see it as a sidegrade.
Do you want the flight model at the cost of HMD , irccm and a few more countermeasures or do you want to play the heavier 16C with the convenience
