F16I should go 13.7

F16I Now 14.0 it too weak, how 6 aim120c fight with RFL or SU30SM??? Worse Radar and Worse Body.
120c always useless, even not give a derby

Seriously as it stand this is a worse F-16D Barak II (13.3) at 14.0

This jet NEEDS, its Derby or AIM-120A/B. Along with its 360 RWR coverage fixed.

MAWS and spicy bombs, a better engine

For AirRB,

MAWS is not a big deal. The F-16I is a downgrade from the F-16C, while at a higher BR.
The ground munitions are only relevant for ground which has a different BR system.

No reason to keep the F-16I at 14.0, should be at most 13.7 and even there it would kinda suck

It has strengths and weaknesses compared to the F-16C enough that they should be consider comprable aircraft in performance. Should be 13.7.

Unless… Its being pre-emptively placed at 14.0 because its planned to get Python-4s in the future.

Guarantee you it would be 14.3 with P4’s

Maybe it was 14.0 bc iirc it was over performing heavily at first

MAW is a pretty huge survivability advantage, and it gets more CM’s

Potentially, but we’ll have to see what they have plan leading up to their inclusion, with a further decompression, even with P-4s it would belong 0.3 below EFT and 0.7 below Rafale

It can be, but isnt always

No, at least thats now how gaijin has been doing things. Unless double standard specifically for israel

MAWS is useless, Bombs do nothing for ARB, the better engine is useless with its nearly double the normal weight and fuel consumption.

Im not sure where you get this idea.

Maybe in ground/naval battles but in Air RB using MAWS is a quick way to go from 200 countermeasures to 0 without ever seeing a enemy

I never said it should stay at it’s current BR
