I find that the Viper/B70 should be coming with C5s, leaving the F-16C variant as intermediate F-16s.
Maybe BLK 30/40 with AIM-120A and current block 50 elevated to C-5, then F-16E and V with C-7/8 and finally PoBIT with D-3
viper b70 can come with aim120d’s. the block 50cs we have in game need the c5, its one of the weakest 13.7s right not and i dont see a reason to play it
F-16C
Weakest 13.7? You aren’t joking right?
one of the weakest for sure. f16am is the only one worse imo
Ever heard about South African Gripen?
is it 13.7?
Yes it is 13.7 with ARH that can’t hit anything pass 6km
well yeah then its worse for sure r-darters arent the best, still doesnt change much about what i said, f16c is quite weak for a 13.7
And then we get a bunch of other stuff. F16C is middle ish for 13.7, it’s 100% on the worst 1/2 but is one of the sort of middleish jets. J11A and a field of Gripens makes up the worst.
There are only like 15 13.7s, so there being a JAS, a J11A and a F16AM is pretty much the bottom fifth, and then F16C along Su27SM, the rest of AMRAAM Jas and Mirages make up the middle, and then J11B/F15Cs make up the top.
my opinion on the weakest 13.7s
F-16A OCU- Japan
45 countermeasures, does have better block 15 flight performance but the CMs hurt it too much
J11A
Just a worse Su-27SM
JAS39C (SAAF)
R-Sharters, just run 6x AIM-9M at that point
F-16AM
No radar HMD, does have IR helmet slaving and block 15 flight performance tho
F-16C
F-15C MSIP ii/ Baz Meshupar
cannot compete in BVR anymore, and the flight performance is subpar
F15Cs aren’t that bad in BVR, they are still good to get kills just not so manoeuvrable once u get low.
su27sm is much better than f16c
They’re still capable, but you are gonna struggle against eurofighters, rafales, strike eagles and even Su-30s
Different playstyles, the F-16C can use its AIM-120s to keep people further away but in WVR or close combat the Su-27SM wins
The radar and missile though, unless u give up the R77s for R27ERs. It’s slightly better due to missile load and not the performance.
double the missile count makes it an easy choice for me, r77s are plenty good enough imo.
Yeah, but same with my J11B, just got to go around those. Can still do quite well, just struggles. I even struggled to kinetically defeat FK90s at down tiers but it’s just about fine to do BVR and WVR since it isn’t a boat like F15E.
I totally don’t get why they need C5s though.
R77s to me just sucks any where outside 10km. Even in head on situations the enemy has around 3 seconds to turn around. I have had an F16 out speed it from 5km.
I said it is the missile count and partly R73 that makes it so good.
10km is where theyre really effective
