In my opinion, I guess would be 13.3 BR after F-16A Block 20 MLU and 2 unique AIDC multirole fighter aircraft from ROCAF

This would be a good idea so long as an inbetween filler is added to the Early and Late Block-20 - something like the F-CK-1?

This should not be a seperate vehicle - it should replace the current ROCAF F-16A MLU in the tech tree, if we still consider that thing to be an MLU instead of just a blk20. With gaijin not willing to give China accurate and balanced equipments - the J-11A/J-11A OCU arguably being one of the worst 13.0s in the game - there should be other options to delve into. The Taiwanese branch should also receive Mirage 2000-5EI in the near future.

I suspect Gaijin just want both 12.0 and 13.0 F-16 in China tree just like in France TT.

Sure with 120Bs instead of Cs, unless at a higher BR sometime likely early next year.
Which honestly would make sense. Simply bumping the current F-16A MLU to 13.0 (at least) by giving it AIM-9M and AIM-120C would make the gap between the F-5E and F-16A pretty enormous. The Taiwan line still needs to have a 12.0 early F-16. Even if it means having to grind out the F-16 twice. (Or 3 times when the F-16V is added.)

Possibly 4 times Taiwan has/will have 2 F-16V variants (block 20 and block 70)
I’d rather have the F-16A Block 20 we have now to be fully upgraded and have a F-CK-1 variant to take its 12.0 place.

Isn’t the only difference that some are rebuilds and others are new-build airframes?
taiwan also has some own planes that could be on there between the F-5s and the F-16, some examples would be: RF-5E, F-5F 5391/30130, Mirage 2000-5EI, F-CK-1C, f-ck-1a mlu, just to say some

I would expect the Mirage 2000-5E1 (with MICA-EM) to be 13.0. And for F-CK-1A to be no lower than 12.7 while F-CK-1C would also be 13.0. F-5F 5391/30130 with the TC-1 missiles would be maybe 11.3. The early version of the F-16A MLU seems like by far the best option to fill China’s 12.0 niche.

i was thinking to add some of those between 10.7 and 13.0 if the current F-16 we have would go to 13.0 because of the missing armament (9Ms, amraams, etc), but maybe keeping it at 12.0 and add the F-16V might be the better idea :)
This would be great to see as I have started grinding other nations to actually play top tier as china is extremely underpowered rn it’s just really hard as most games in the mlu will go to 12.7 or 13.0 anyway making it stupid hard for the sparrows to have any effectiveness at all plus the aim 9Ls with the amount of flares people got now days is just not right and the j11A has more of its mid life update kit than the actual j11A kit with maws system but no radar to match it like that’s silly. But I think the f16 MLU would be good to see at 13.0 with its respective weaponary as the Taiwan sub tree has lots of potential to be a good tree and the Chinese has the same but china doesn’t seem to get the good end of a lot of patches

Block 70 would also have a better engine and conformal fuel tanks.
12.3 F-16A Early(BLOCK 20)，9M+7M
13.0/13.3 F-16A MLU，9M+120C5，whose performance is approximately the same as F-16C(BLOCK 52)
14.X？ F-16V(BLOCK 70)，9X+120C7，which will be added to the techtree in the future.

Just don’t want to grind another 40 rp F16 with different missiles only.
The gap between F16 and F5 is fine, I’m already get used to it as a Chinese player. All I really care about is giving F16A MLU the equipment actually used.
AIM-9P-4 & AIM-9M instead AIM-9P & AIM-9L but 2x AIM-9P replace by AIM-9P-4.
and AIM-7M change lock range 40 → 65 km
I guess F-16A MLU (Late) would be 13.7 with AIM-120C-5 & AIM-120C-7 AMRAAM
At 14.7 or 15.0 with AN/APG-83 SABR AESA radar, AIM-9X-2 and AIM-120C (AIM-120C-7 & AIM-120C-8). but 2x AIM-9M stock
very timely suggestion，I want this or some J11B things as soon as possible
New sources show that this later service variant with the expanded weapons arsenal are more more clearly referred to as “Stage 2” aircraft by academic sources. I have amended the suggestion to bring further clarity.

so, you are suggesting they add a new f16 with 120C amraams at with your highest br ask at 13.0, not even going to get into the fact that you added harpoons, no, just no.
The suggestion predates the BR ceiling increase. And Harpoons being there does not mean they will get added right away or that we want them now, it is just mentioned so that developers will know this aircraft did have them, if they ever plan to introduce such weapon systems.
