The new French F-16A is Gaijin's psyop to gather stats

This is Abrams - a “weak” MBT with ahistorical armour and russian bias turret basket played by its’ nation of origin vs “elite pros”.

Stark contrast that shows that the vehicle is not always an issue.

Now here is F-16A - sitting at #103 out of 114 Rank 8 planes when sorted by K/D.

Note that ALL THE OTHER PLANES with lower K/D are attackers:

So it’s safe to say that F-16A is the weakest Jet Fighter of Rank 8.

Or is it? What if the vehicle is not the issue here too? Let’s give the weakest Jet Fighter to a smaller selection of players and see how it performs?

PS: I bet it will go down to 12.0 in April br changes and will rise to 1.0 K/D mid summer by feasting on Rank 7 attackers.

Why are you just specifically mentioning them?

F-16A Block 5 will perform just like any other event vehicle, as if it will have its battle rating increased due to the high influx of new players to a brand new ‘world’ or simply because you have to research all the modules and naturally it’s a struggle phase in a new vehicle I don’t know, but that’s a trend in some event vehicles: it starts low in terms of kill/death ratio, it eventually increases and stabilizes when everyone else learns how to counter it:


F-106A global all time statistics


F-16A (France) global all time statistics

Which looking at the lowest kill/death ratio F-16A has a very volatile values, I highly doubt a battle rating decrease will happen.

can people stop spreading old information


as of last months stats they are much closer together, which makes sense given the kind of players that get new vehicles first

if anything they should trend even closer together once this months data is out

It’s a horrendously compressed BR

idk why they’d need a event F-16 to tell them that, most have been complaining about it for well over a year and all they done is downtier the Su-27s and F-15As and add the Prem Su-30s

Wait wasnt the belgian f16A at 13.0 previously? When did they lower it back down?

Anyway I’ve seen vids of them in action and tbqh this is the kind of jet i would probably avoid or straight up ge to get the good missiles, the grind seems rather tedious for IR only platforms.

but it has good maneuverability or something bro

The use of an abrams as if it’s bad as an examples pretty funny

Seems related to this Reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/s/FnIFv8R33W

It still has better stats then the US while the Chinese version has a worst lineup.

Why are you using global all-time K/D for the Abrams, but only January K/D for the F-16s? That’s kind of a weird comparison.

and that is still data from less than a month

it will probably get closer in the next months data, and stats are also dependent on matchmaker which is nation dependent
