So you’re asking for a decent plane to be worse for no reason but hubris for AIM-7s on the F-16
the other big issue is that the USSR, china, and Japan are the only nations that get access to the absolute fucking railgun that is the R-27ER. massive warhead, ridicioulus speed, high agility, uplink.
what does NATO get? the AIM-7P exclusively on premium hornets which is still vastly inferior to the R-27ER, and the AIM-7F/M on everything else.
Afghanistan, Vietnam, Spain, Southern and North edge of Rocky canyon, Tunisia
that was refering to ages ago when mp was still 100m
thats called cherry picking
Muh cherry picking
And don’t forget the maps with water too!!
You’re asking to kill the F-16ADF
It’s a pretty nice vehicle at 13.3
It would just be a worse F-16AJ if you put it at 12.7 again with sparrows
The F-16AJ is a terrible vehicle to play, a large reason for that is the matchmaker
not better? the FMs are the same to my knowledge and the 7M is technically better than the 7F due to not having a notch gate
🇩🇪
AJ has 60 countermeasures and the block 10 airframe.
7M and F are practically identical
give it the ability to have sparrows on all pylons. also up tiers shouldn’t make a plane bad.
lowkey forgot germany exists but point still stands, there’s no counter to the R-27ER other than another R-27ER or a FOX3, the latter of which didn’t even exist back then.
if it were up to me, the R-27ER and ET would never have existed and they’d only have the 27R and 27T
the F-16 literally cannot take sparrows on all stations
Even compared to other 12.7s it’s bad
F-18, F-15…
i thought the block 10 and 15 had the same FM? also doesn’t the ADF also get 60 CMs or did they reduce that at some point for no reason?
No, blk 15 is heavier.
Reduced to 45 in the same update where it got amraams
shit that’s kinda lame lmao
the M is technically slightly better, being able to see a notching target whereas the 7F goes blind
That cant be done. Closest to this would be the landing gear pylons gaijin was considering for AJ but ultimately decided against it for whatever reason.
Ultimately? no. but its how things are with the matchmaker compressed to hell and back.
