You’re more than welcome to grind it out for yourself and see how it is currently. Or just take your F-16C with only 9Ms into air RB.
Doubt you’ll do it as you one trick air sim.
An easy solution is to arrive to the fight later. Flank. Use terrain. Anything besides flying directly at a radar missile. It can’t be that hard.
Fair enough. Wasnt sure if they would or not.

Don’t play shit game mode 🤷
But you’re right! I’ve done just that in a less permissive environment with less situational awareness than RB provides. So what’s your point?
People were already doing that in the Gripen Meta to emulate the Gripen with the F-16C. It’s 100% possible.

Gripen meta was still with 100m multipath as well.
Only pointing out that you one trick air sim. Aren’t there generally only like 7-10 players on each team in air sim on a good day?
I know you like to brag about doing ground sim too, but I only counted gamemodes you are not mid at.
That’s a really good point. Removing multipathing in 16V16 is abysmal as you can’t defend from everything easily. I think smaller team sizes are a must

dw 9M is even better in sim as enemies cant see it because its smokeless
Just a shame its got artificially nerfed lock ranges which mean you have to fire at practically point blank ranges msot of the time. A lot of the potency from having smokeless motor is lost as a result

There are only two scenarios here that are relevant and you are in danger to this tactic. Either your opponent is strapped to the gills for a dogfight while you have an enormous altitude and speed advantage that only the Eurofighter, Rafale, or maybe the F-15E can overcome (and only if you’re not in one of those three yourself).
Alternatively, they have their own Fox 1s and Fox 3s to fire at you, which have to work extra hard to climb up to where you are since you will still have, and I cannot reiterate this enough, an absolutely and completely crushing altitude advantage if-you-know-how-to-exploit-it, and you can simply “notch, drag, terrain mask” your opponents long range missiles just as you did the previous ones in the BVR where the missiles are much stronger.
I really don’t like the “Git gud, skill issue.” Argument, but if you legitimately struggle to kill aircraft that are lat the lowest energy state they can possibly be in for a dogfight or within-visual-range combat (and usually inferior aircraft at that) that might actually be something you need to work on skill wise and not your opponents.
Unless, of course, I’m misreading something here and “just notch bro” is oversimplifying arguably the most imbalanced meta we’ve ever seen since the MiG-23MLD ran rampant for months uncontested, until the F-14A picked up the torch in its stead at a fairly quick jog instead of a full sprint.

Cough F15E F/A-18C F-16C Cough
Except the giant diamond above it in ARB.
Shhhhh we don’t talk about that here
Multipath is multipath. 100->60 barely changed anything realistically.
Would you say the F/A-18C early is a decent plane to learn top tier sim with?
Any proof for the F-16C?
Yes. You currently have 2 brackets where 12.7 is on top and 2 where 13.0 is on top and there isnt much at 13.0 you need to worry about (though should be noted that pretty much every match is F-18 vs F-18 and with the German premium one coming that isnt going to get any better)
But overall, the BR is a relatively chill one, with Bluefor holding most of the cards
