Get the Dutch F-16A in the Workhorse Event!

Can we at least get a skin that isn’t that ugly fictional fire horse skin? There’s lots of liveries available, yet the most basic barebones skin is the default, with nothing else

Recently I found the Hunter F.6 to be quite the reliable event grinder, just like how some people use the Ariete and Sagittario 2 to grind the events. (I see more Arietes and Sagittarios during air events than any other time)
Every since the SRAAM buff she’s become a rather reliable frag bus. I rarely leave a match now with less than two kills and its become a fun little ace farmer. I don’t see many Hunter F.6s either, I’ve seen more Sagittarios lol
I usually just side climb a little to like 5k meters and then intercept the Su-7s and F-104s doing base bombing and the odd 9.7 Mig-23, or if I see my team has them covered I wait for the furball to start and then dive into it going for distracted targets. Usually nets me easily 3 or 4 kills. Had a fun game last night where I got 3 kills in one pass.

Been doing sim. Can finish in 2-3 matches as long as the other team doesnt all bail the second i do PvP

I go high mirage 2000s, usually finish in 2-3hours without having to put too much brain cells in the grind

Wish I had VR goggles for sim, the camera movements are too janky, like I’ve done head camera movements before in other sims and they’re fine using the extra buttons on the joystick, but in WT? Nah that its just straight jank. At least I have a joystick tho. Because of that I usually just base bombed when I was flying in Sim for a few hours.

It be like that. Its why I like the Hunter F.6: Side climb, launch SRAAMs up people’s tailpipes from top down. I did two stages this way already when I didn’t feel like doing serious grinding lol
11 matches so far in it, 2 ace kill games, 4 quadra kill games and 4 games where it was a double kill. I had one match with only one kill because I was out of position and ended up killing a Mig-23 in a headon. Those 30mm Adens are potent now after the update.

This is one of the worst grinds going, 90% of the games I’ve had so far have been in enough of an uptier I’m facing fox-3 slinging devils

It’s honestly too high in br for what it gets as a final loadout and it faces too, this is an abysmal grind if not the worst I’ve done so far and I’m a GB main too

Come on man, why is this 12.7 in SIM? Same BR as the Belgian tech-tree F-16 which has 9M and the OCU which has 9M, Magic2 AND TWS radar (which is a huge deal in sim).

You can’t have just 9L without TWS at 12.7, that’s just so sad.

I got the event F-16A yesterday and have researched 10 modules so far. But I still have problems with it to do just about anything.
My team usually contains several event F-16A, often in massive uptiers, nearly all remain without kill, same as me.
I can’t reach bases, my missiles are flared easily.

Not sure what the trick is with this one? What is a good strategy for it?

Unfortunately it’s not a very good plane in the radar missile meta. You need to ambush people to have a chance of getting kills. If you’re confident in notching you can sometimes surprise people by coming from above, but it’s somewhat unreliable.

I had a few good games following your advice and could add 3 more modules. My last game added 2, which is a waste, as there are only 3 modules left now for the last prize of the event.

buy cheap head tracking system for use free camera :)
