well, seeing france’s dominance at 14.0, clearly they needed some more around 12.0/13.0…
this is ridiculous though, the 12.7 area was already hyper compressed and now there’s a new stupid blatantly overpowered jet there.
ATP I’m suprised it’s not premium
It costs essentially as much, while not having any of the premium pack benefits. Many wallet warriors will spend money on it because it’s clearly OP, and magic2 on a F-16 sounds like a fun time. Win-win for gaijoobs. They will eventually move it up but that’s after they earn a bunch of money with it by exploiting the playerbase.
Then at 13.0 it will be kinda trash like the Belgian F-16A, 13.0 compression is insane
something it totally should get right now is its historical OG loadout Python-4s and AIM-120Bs.
Gaijin said no to both
6 amraam on a solid platform and SPICE A2G munitions
i think its fine there, its the typhoon and rafale that need to go up
Air-RB discussion here
I know. Gaijin thinks thats a good reason to have it high. look at he tornado with brimstone, tornados suck ass but its 12.3 for the brimstone. It has two sidewinders, BOL and BOZ pods for anything else. its just awful.
I think A2G loadout should have no bearing in AirRB BRs because ground pounding has no impact in the match in most situations.
Current maps and lame ground objectives make A2G more like a roleplay thing than something useful for the team.
Also the F-16D has spice munitions and is 13.3
It shouldnt… But this is Gaijin… so…
Completely agree.
I only take A2G into RB to at least get something in my planes that i know are not competitive at all (Harriers) however in something that is competitive like the CF118 you bet im not taking anything but a hardpointfull of missiles
Can someone thats good at making bug reports make a bug report about the f15i not being able tp carry spice 2000s and aim 120s at the same time on the wing pylons and also add into that the spice 2000 picture in the loadout is wrong
same as allways
balance reasons
I will gladly take derby over 120c5
F16c has much better fm
and the F-16I has MAWS, better HMD, radar and the C5s.(iirc) Seems like a fair trade to me
though doesnt the F-16I get a better engine?
More normal thrust while having less afterburner thrust it seems like.
It’s pretty much more countermeasures + MAWS as a trade of for worse flight performance (ignoring the whole 120B vs 120C-5 debate).
Yep. So seems ideal for 13.7 as a counter part to the F-16C.
Fair enough.
Yeah… I dont think there is really anything to debate on the F-16. Especially with F-15E/I with C5s at 14.0. I doubt it would be noticable at 13.7
a 13.7 BR is going to change nothing and it also would be just a stxpid move to do since they are going to add better missiles to it anyways, they would totally need to move it up again when that finally happens, the only option for this aircraft to remain competitive now and when more 4+, 4++ gens reach the game is by adding Python-4s and a AIM-120C-8 at the very least or buffing the C-5 to its real performance otherwise this plane would not stand a chance against way more superior jets, i need to remember that next year we are getting fifth gens?, to be precise we have 1 year and 3 months remaining for that to happen ignoring the fact that they could come before and not in december since they confirmed that fifth gens would start to appear from half next year to the end of next year. honestly i really dont want to be fighting in the next couple of months Gripen Es, Typhoon with captor AESA, IRIS-Ts, newer Rafales, Su-35s, J-10Cs with an F-16I in the state it is right now and this could happen next major or in december we are not far from the jets i mentioned.
Whats the problem with moving it up again when next gen IR missiles get added? Doesnt make sense to keep it at an unbalanced state in the meanwhile with the excuse that some time in the feature it gets a new weapon.
That would be like having the old F-16 ADF at 13.3 for years with aim9L and sparrows before getting fox3s
Maw isnt that useful and anyway isnt a justificationfor a br chnage
Hmd act the same
Radar i didnt saw yet but it isnt aesa so should be pretty much the same too
C5 are trash and doesnt fit the plane playstyle
And yes ut has better engine but it also heavier so lower twr and a big gap in high speed in favor of f16c
