I am not american main, I just want to know people’s thoughts. I just got the plane, right now F-16A sit at BR 12.7 have to facing AMRAAM with limited counter measures, and it doesn’t have any BVR weapons, HMD, etc. 9L is decent but R73 and 9M are exist. Also I don’t understand why it is same BR as the F-16A ADF variant while it’s pretty much the same plane and have 7M. Would it be better for F-16A sits at 12.3?
I think it’s fine because F-16 has the best dog fighting flight performance Which means that F-16 would win against anything in Close quarter combat If they lower a BR of F-16 they should also lower the BR of MiG-29 because r60m are not missile but just suggestion

Ehhhh, it has a great dogfighting performance, the problem is 11.7-12.0 is a blackhole. Decompression is the answer.

I get your problem, experienced as well, but their br’s can not go lower, than 12.7 because it would made them too strong.
It is true for all the planes in 12.7, they all suffer, I can’t name one, which performs well rn.
The only solution I can see is decompression. Moving all the 13.7 vehicles to 14.0 AT LEAST!

12.7-13.7 is just rough atm, the F-16A block 10 wouldnt be balanced as a 12.3 with that FM. We need decompression

he isnt saying to lower the mig29… he is saying if it did happen the mig29 should also go down which makes perfect sense to me

Agreed.
I am try to spade it right now by bomb bases, and it’s funny gaijin put bases right behind a tall mountain. So either dive and crash (something like maverick turn over and dive but without pull 12g up)or go up and shot down by active radar missiles. Great job gaijin.
Yeah forgot to mention the only existing exception, which is a joke anyway, that IRIAF is being on the same br as the A version, while performs better even than the B version.
Complete chaos what we have right now!

I also don’t think F-16AJ or the other ADF variants are very hard to play, but they are conservative and aren’t going to get many aces or anything. MiG-29s can do decent as well but are almost fully reliant on the R-27ERs

That is exactly my problem, you can not make huge impact on the game or clutch games, when you get uptiered. You’ll get maybe 1 or 2 kill but that’s it and the chances to end the game alive is low.
If you play it passive, either you win quickly with 0 kills or your team dies and the whole enemy team is at your 6. 2 or 3 Fox-3’s can be dodged with 60 countermeasures but that is it, and multipathing is not always an option.
Don’t get me wrong, I have like 1.5-1.6 KD with the ADF at the current state, but I am not satisfied.
Requires a very sweaty gameplay to remain effective.

If you lower BR at this tier you compress all below. Bad idea.
Decompression only works upwards.
You see it with last BR changes all sabres and Migs went down, and now Ho229 has to fight some of them.
Sure these planes suffered because of 9.7/10.0 planes but instead of push them into the 7.0/7.3 lobby the correct way would be let them at their BRs and stretch the BR range above, so toptier would be 14.0 or more.

So true.
Thinking about the A version without 7M. Even worse experience.
That is actually a good idea.
Now, I am just tire of trying full spaded the A version, basically as soon I got the maverick I am done for it.
If they did that, top tier probably going push 15.0 if start from resever/1.0 plane. But chance even less than win a lottery.
