for some reason gaijin has decided that innermost pylons on latter f16s were limited to laser guided bombs, hence them not getting GBU-8 or even JDAMs on those pylons
Doesnt it have spice 2000 on the inner pylons?
Which are tge best option anyway(unless we gonna get spice 250)
really? I thought they were stuck with Laser only like the other late F16s
Yep u can take up to 10 ir gbus
It can mount both spice 1000 and spice 2000 on the inner pylons.
That was the loadout I envisioned for if I was ever going to play top tier Israel ground again: 2x spice 1000, 8x spice 250 and 4x A2A missiles.
From what i saw spice 2000 are better
Spice 1000 seeker is a bit laggy and u need to be closer for it to work and also smaller boom

I just concluded that I’m not going to sacrifice more flight performance for a bigger blast than needed. That is why I never even considered running the 2000s, just like I usually never touch the 2000 LGBs.
Idk i think its worth the sacrafise of a bit less fp(u arent df in this anyway)
U can drop a single 2000 on the spawn and get all the furball spaas which is like 3-4 kills

The spice 2000 are pseudo glide bombs, the spice 1000 have far more range, but since seeker is the main limitation its about the same, but if you launch at very low altitude the spice 1000 is probably better
U can lunch the 2000 up and it can get pretty far or just use the 250 insted
It can if you launch them at altitude and at speed. But the normal glide bombs with straight folding wings have a LOT more range. Not that it really matters for CAS.
I don’t play realistic ground, but sometimes I do multirole in AirRB just to get more SL or RP. Spice 250 in the inner pylons would maybe convince me to purchase and crew the sufa.
I don’t see the point in stock grinding the sufa when I can just play the F-16C at 13.7 or even better, the F-16D at 13.3

We are talking about cas ofc
Agreed sufa is just a worse f16c barak at higher br
Its more like a block50 at 14.0. The barack has derby which gives it options that both the block50 and the sufa don’t get.
Do you recommend stock grinding the F16C barack? I never did because I already have the US F16C and the F16D crewed, and it would essentially be like playing the F16D at 13.7, the FM is not a big difference.
The f16c barak its the same like f16c from the usa but less 500kg thrust (Its berly noticable to my understanding) and u get more cm (180 i think)
Also it does have better fm then f16d and u feel it cuz the less weight
I found it very fun that u can take both 120 and derby so u can start the match in bvr and after drop to the furball so yea i recommend it
It also great at cas cuz it can pretty much do everything f16d can do but better and on the same br(all tho sufa and raam are on the same br too and better then both at cas so idk)
It’s lighter too. But the block50 FM is still marginally better.
I rarely play ground RB, and I never touched israeli ground. I play ground arcade but for air, only AirRB matters for me, that’s why I asked if its worth it. I haven’t touched the block 50 for some time too, I’d rather play 13.3 with the F-16D or the F-16A MLU since you fight less 14.3
In what?
From what i sae they fm is nearly identical
Block50 is faster and has a marginal advantage in sustained turn rate, it has a little bit more TWR. The block40 is lighter by about 170kg or so, which gives it a very small advantage in instantaneous turn rate.
FM aside, the block40 has some more countermeasures and access to derby which makes it the more interesting option, but at 13.7 I have better options, The J-10A for example is also a light fighter with decent FM and a much better kit.
The F-16A MLU is almost an F-16C at 13.3, the lack of HMD with aim120 is not a big miss. And the F-16D is just a F-16C barack with extra 250kg (would be lighter than the F-16C block50 if not for that useless passenger in the back) at 13.3 and I’m not missing the aim120s much tbh.
When 13.7 gets a more favourable matchmaker I might stock grind it, it will be the 8 or 9th F-16 I will stock grind lol

Valid j10 is insane
But it does
U arent getting much uptiers and u are insane at downtiers
I think most ppl would take the f16c barak over the american one
I feel like 13.3 gets more downtiers, and your average match is a partial uptier, playing 13.0 to 14.0. The F-16D is quite comfortable there because most players in those matches are 13.0 and 13.7.
When I play 13.7, most matches are 13.3-14.3, a partial uptier, same as before but against stronger opposition without a considerable advantage over the 13.3 F-16s.
Yeah but I haven’t touched the F-16C for a while. At 13.7 I usually pick up the J-10A or the F-2 which is much more interesting than the F-16C, although it’s not that great because its slow and limited to 4 fox3s
Yea i get what ur saying f16d is good but its not the same experiance as f16c when u can do bvr and close range while having amzing fp
If u searching for 13.7 meta then sure take the j10 or su27sm which has great matchmaker but if ur looking for unique experiance then i recommend it
