Then I also have the F-15J(M) which kinda does the same with a better loadout. More missiles, more counteremasures, AIM-120 for bvr, AAM-4 that works just as well for bvr + works for HOBS and a AAM-3 (a better AIM-9M), and has the best F-15C FM because it’s lighter than the others, not as agile as the F-16 but still good.
Wish I had a reason to play the F-16C barack
sound like u want to play meta
F15jm is great but its very diffrent then f16c
Derby are much diffrent then aam4 they are better at close range but lacks at long range
Its just playing f16d but with the option to bvr with 120 and better fm which was very fun for me and its a unique experiance that i reccomend if u want to try new stuff
But again if u want 13.7 meta then yea f15jm is better
It’s not that I want to play the meta, I just have the exact same playstyle in other vehicles that offer even more.
I love F-16s but stock grind is annoying so I need to have a good reason to do it in terms of playstyle variety.
I often do “multirole” for fun instead of strictly air to air pvp, that’s far from meta. Sometimes I just do little personal missions or challanges, like avoiding everyone and trying to take out all their AAA in the airfield for no reason other than gameplay variety.
For example, if the sufa had spice 250 in the inner pylons I would play it even at 14.0 just for some multirole roleplay in AirRB, even though it is the most unmeta jet.
