The Belgian F16A at 13.0 seems really bad (skill issue post)

yeah, its a hard reality check for me, i was hesitant to crew it and now really regret doing so, and wish i wouldve crewed the MLU instead…

Im still determined to fly it more and do well in it, stubborn to make it work. Usually i just insta j out when i see 14.0’s in my match and leave, especially when the game keeps serving me fucking mysterious valley over and over again. Its very good when you get 13.0-13.7 matches though.

gave up on the 13.0 F16A, its hot garbage in the current MM, but the F16MLU is sooooo much better, i shouldve skipped the A and gone straight for the MLU, that thing SLAPS!

not every jet can be enjoyed by every player even if said jet is fine overall

PIRATE RWR, MAWS, AIM-9M, and PIDS CM.

wow how useful.

If you can bear taking off a bit later and maybe going circles very far to backstab enemy, the plane might work. if not, well…

I don’t think it has maws though.

I think it’s fine at 13.0 though, even if the matchmaking is rough. I just wish they had added the Belgian F-16A that was apparently used to test magic IIs on though.

i think the PIDS also provide maws, unless im wrong

I have spent the last couple days spading the belgian F-16A running 4x AIM-9 + 2 countermeasures pylons empty and it didn’t give me anything maws related, just more countermeasures.

i absolutely agree, as much as it is a pain in the arse to fly it, id rather see one plane struggle rather than a whole BR range getting completely ruined so one jet can dominate!

ive been flying more and i actually got the hang of it now, once you get to late game its a blast to dogfight with

ive tried to find you in game but your username doesnt return anything.

pretty odd dude. legit have never seen anyone on this forum whose name isnt searchable, did you delete your account?

I AGREE. I AM BELGIAN MYSELF AND YES, THE CANOPY LOOKS LIKE PISS BUT STILL THAT DOESNT GIVE GAIJIN A REASON TO PUT IT AT 13.0. THE F16 IS ON ITSELF ALREADY BAD BC OF THE AWFUL MISSILES.

the missiles arent bad, theyre just inconsistent and the seeker is something ive never seen before, it sometimes straight up refuses to lock someone, even if im radar slaving them.

Im starting to believe some players are using third party software to prevent locks or something.

theyll probably say its hIsToRaCaLlY aCcUrAtE but still, doesnt give u a reason for missile s to not lock on to smth

F-16A does fine as is. It would be insanely overpowered at 12.7.

Quite literally, impossible.

mhm, btw im still interested to know why your acc doesnt show up in game.

because I’ve changed my ign and the forums does not automatically update names

yeah i did the same and i had a few ppl saying something like:
“weird that i cant find your name on statshark or ingame”
and are trying to imply that you are bad at the game
