aim9M a good tradeoff ?
No. 2 9Ms does not excuse the rest of the plane being bad. If I want 9Ms on a sparrow slinger I’d play an F-15A.
Not good enough to be at the same BR as the SU33 with R27ER/ET and R73.
Constant uptiers to 13.3 still be like:

(Early Hornet is still a great plane)
Like I said, Alvis is a dumbass
Yet neither said what you’re claiming
top 10 13.0 isn’t saying much when all are inferior to the top 3: Su-27, Su-33 and F-2A ADTW.
I’m gonna predict f16XL will be top 2 or even number 1 13.0
Lmao no
currently it’s looking to be more of slightly better viggen
it gets the radar and the RWR issue fixed it cant be that bad
meh cm count
flight model is most likely gonna be mid again, it looks hella unfinished rn
no HMD
4 AMRAAMs as your best weapon, which isn’t great
but it gets some crazy 1 turn pull for dogfighting
and super cruise
hae?
you better prove that mate
wow, that means so much
I mean compared to the F-16 ADF at 13.3, it gets the same missile count except you are forced to replace 2 fox 3s with fox 2s (which is optional on the ADF), neither get HMD, the ADF has only 45 (15 large and 30 normal), ever so slightly better radar (probably won’t be a noticeable difference tho), and will be slightly worse dogfighter. And the ADF is already one of the strongest 13.3s (excluding the plane which should already be 13.7). So I image it will be pretty good.
uhh just use google idk where I saw that on war thunder
The XL-2 was the one with supercruise (and it was only at mach 1.1)
The one we are getting is the XL-1
Honestly not really imo
It’s pretty mid
From what I can tell the F-16XL would be worse than the JF-17, being around the same level as the Kfir C.10
oh that sucks then I was hoping to super cruise in it
su30 premuims 1000000% best 13.3 in game JF17 doesnt get ARH does it ?
It does
4 PL-12 and 2 PL-5EII
