The F-16XL really should be 13.3, but the compression is absolutely destroying 12.3+ balancing
it’s going to have good top speed and a good first turn
but i wouldn’t say it’s going to have the best flight performance of the amraam carriers at 13.0 or even just at 13.0
The JA37DI literally is just a JA37C (11.3) with AIM-9Ls and AMRAAMs
Give it more CMS and 2 more amraam and put it in 13.3
so you are saying that the F-4 has better flight performance than the F-16XL?
or what 13.0 AMRAAM carrier has a better FM than the F-16XL

it will burn all its speed turning with the giant wing, if the dogfight extends beyond a short moment then a mildly skilled phantom player could win a dogfight against it yes, a viggen could be an equal almost i would say.
even today i’ve been playing my Viggen and dogfighting hornets and falcons with near equality.
it’s not going to be like the F-16 we have in game at all, it’s going to be more like the Draken if anything

So Gripen c should be the same br as the XL because it’s loses all its speed and turn better than any plane at 13.0 br ?

so you dont have anything besides your personal feelings
this is with the F-16XL at 50% fuel and the F-4F at 30%
tell me how will the phantom win this fight

not at all what i’m saying
i’m saying it’s appropriate at its BR with its weapons and sensor suite considering its contemporaries are equal stronger and weaker, it will not be some overpowered insane jet like people are expecting it to be
Should do the Viggen since he keeps mentioning the delta aspect

lol wut.
Gripen C is one of the best dogfighters in this game.
Combining with tons of countermeasures,HMD and much better radar its everything that XL wishes to be.
if you read your chart correctly you could see that the XL only performs well at the low speed dogfight, the type that gets you killed at this battlerating
you are not proving any point
It will be in a better hands than low level player.
Turn like Gripen c
Same weapons as Gripen C
Good auto tracking radar as Gripen C
And yet there is 0.7 br difference.
There no other better 13.0 plane than the XL right now
Weird how the plane with the better engine and less weight wins, am I right?
Clearly the Viggen mogs the XL because he’s just a bad pilot
the F-16XL outperforms the F-4F with 30% in any aspect when carrying 60%
i was giving the F-4F an advatage
but here are both at min fuel
so tell me how is a phantom going to win this fight

JA37D (bol)
you could go as far as giving the F-16XL 70% fuel against a min fuel phantom and it would still win
That’s still a JA37C in terms of flight performance, radar and RWR
That’s what I was going for, but yeah, they do get more CMs
