F16C sucks because of its slow turning in high speed

How is the f16C (one of the most “meta” planes according to many players) so slow when it is or above speed of 1100kph? The brick that is the f4s can turn faster at the same speed or even higher.
This is supposed to be a dog fighter designed to be agile but cant do the most basic stuff for this role.
The biggest question that boggles me is how this plane is considered meta in the fandom?

You might want to check a turning performance chart for it.

nah

F-16C isn’t the monster it was but that has nothing to do with its turning performance.

F-16C compresses a lot at high speeds, try to cut down afterburner and even use brakes if necessary to slow down to 700-800 km/h where it’s flight performance shines

Don’t use statshark to compare FM because it sucks
