No? Really? I wasn’t aware
I am so tired of this. I recently got the F16AJ too, and I am sick of constantly facing Fox 3 cancer without any real way to evade them, my chaffs barely work since they run out quickly, and as soon as i get an opportunity to fire at an enemy, all I get is a fox 3 in my face after they break off so my 7F can’t hit. In my opinion, the F-16AJ should be no higher than 12.3. Either that or give it AAM-4 and increased countermeasures. In which case it could be moved to 13.0 perhaps.
Adding onto that, in my opinion, a plane which doesn’t carry fox-3 missiles should never face any that could. It’s both realistic and fair.
Actually, non-fox-3 flankers can actually do pretty well in fox-3 environments
And will absolutely dominate if they are in a bracket where they don’t fight fox-3s
They get very good fox 1 and 2s though, whereas the f16 is stuck with 7Fs and 9Ls, which are found all the way down in 10.0
(they’re a higher br)
They’re a higher br but yet the F-16AJ face the same stuff. Isn’t that the whole point? How a worse plane face the same enemies as a plane that’s a lot better in terms of equipment. The flanker is a whole generation newer than the F-16AJ
The issue here is compression
not the F-16 being bad
(wait till you see the MiG-29 at the same br as a flanker with better fm, better rwr, and more missiles)
