wat do i do then
Actually, most event plane matches only lasted 5 min total! I know because I often was the last blue guy around.
Especially in that br range, the average player there is better off just not taking off
So now you went from op plane , to get good yea dude you have no idea how air combat works if your teammates die early (which most premium users do) you’re stuck alone 1v9 in what world can you win that and with a f16 with aim9ls

I’d reduce the statement to the event plane, because match composition will automatically seal its fate. I would not have played it now, if it were not for the placement of the 4 free modules.
It isn’t op, but it will be if it goes down
Happens no matter which plane/br you’re playing
Just kill as many people as possible and go to the next match. Same as anyone else
3rd?
F-18C, F-15A/J/Baz… and that’s not including the 13.0s.
F-18A is also pretty much an F-16A but with a better BVR loadout.
The F-16A’s flight model is just better than the F-18s and F-15’s
F-15A has the best F-15 fm, F-15J is worse
To reiterate: The only aircraft with better FMs than the F-16A are the Eurofighter, F-2A and Gripen
even if you don’t have Fox-1s, your fm can let you win fights against almost any other 12.3 plane and some 12.7 aircraft
It will absolutely nuke any 12.0 or lower plane in most engagements
The F-16A should not go down, rather, the br range from 12.0+ needs serious decompression, with a higher max br limit
F-16A at 11.7 would be game breakingly OP. The issue isn’t that 12.3 is a bad BR for the F-16A, it’s that top tier is very compressed and most 13.3’s deserve to be 13.7
Flankers are the worst offenders, consistently being the single best planes at their native BR
Best 13.0: Su-33/Su-27S by a long mile
Best 13.3 J-11A/Su-30MK2 by a long mile
Best 13.7: Su-27SM by a long mile
Best 14.0: Ironically, uptiered Su-27SM is still better than pretty much every 14.0
Best 14.3: Su-30SM
Best 14.7: Tied between Su-30SM2 and Rafale

I say Su-30SM2 is better than Rafale, just has a higher skill floor due to the worse FM and awareness
Everything else you have said is very much true

Yeah, Rafale is easier to play but Su-30SM2 has significantly more raw potential
Because it’s an F-16? Why should an F-16 with 6x AIM-9Ls be at a lower BR than a phantom just because said phantom has 7Fs?
It curb stomps all of these?
What? What are you trying to say here? That because the MiG-21 gets an engine upgrade it deserves to fight F-16 with 9Ls?
Also, F-16 in a downtier is extremely overpowered.

What jet can you win this with, period? A Rafale would struggle at 12.0 to do this.

OP has 30 games in rank 8 and already wants to change the BR of F16 for everyone lol

i had 2 different acc 1 on xbox and on ps
Oh my god, no
The only F-16 that would be acceptable at BR below 12.0 is F-16/79
Same BR as Kifir C.2, F-104S ASA and MiG-23MLD?
I kind of want to see this. Because it’s mean and funny.
