Hey guys, just tested the F-16XL (simulator mode), and oh boy, Gaijin’s math is mathing.
With 41% fuel (about 5.5 minutes of full afterburner at ~700 km/h, which is literally a full-tank MiG-29A), this thing pulls a sustained 7.1–7.3 Gs.
Just to put this joke into perspective, here is how other jets perform with the exact same 5.5-minute fuel load:
Netz Block 10: 6.8 G
M2000C: 6.0G
MiG-29 (9-12): 6.4 G
Rafale: 7.0 G
Eurofighter: 7.3 G
So a heavy prototype delta-wing out-turns a Rafale and matches a Eurofighter. Brilliant flight model tuning right there. Thank you so much, Gaijin, very realistic!
