No other plane at 13.7 has the C-5 or even the B (except Japanese Gripen weirdly), If the F16C block 50 doesn’t have it why’d the Israeli F16C Block 52 get it?
A and B AMRAAM are 1:1, the only difference is the letter.
Though if I had to guess on why the Sufa is at 13.7, it’s probably the flight model. It with C-5s isn’t that crazy since there’s only 6 of them

I think it has to do with it’s previous position at 14.0 in Air RB and it is 13.0 in GRB while the block 50 is 12.7 in GRB also.
@Code_649
It was 14.0 and was shockingly bad, so it got moved down. This could mean that now other aircraft like the F-16C could get C5s, but how useful the C5s are is a debate to be had, especially for an aircraft better suited for WVR

Sufa is significantly lighter than block 50 in game
its engine is slightly worse for high speed thrust, but it can turn better and bleeds less speed than the block 50

How isnt the sufa one of the chonkier f16s?
idk
but the devs stopped accepting empty weight reports just before it was added
if they did still accept them it would probably become the heaviest F16
but yeah currently its lighter than the F16C, and needs less internal fuel with a lower maximum internal fuel
so pretty much will always be significantly lighter in a match
and yeah pretty much every decent source on it puts it at ~10000kg empty but I guess the devs know better than the manufacturers and operators

Why’d they stop accepting empty weight reports?
because the empty weight is isnt directly presented in the game
and they decided to declare the flight model tools people used to get it to be using datamined information
in doing so they made it so there wasnt any way to report it
Often, I don’t use any AIM-120C in my loadout… AIM-120B are often better
Also, the F-16C block50 has a slightly better FM. The only worthwhile advantage of the sufa is some extra CM’s
C-5s aren’t an upgrade over 120A/B
As was already mentioned the A and B are the exact same besides letter and tecture.
Sufa sucked ass at 14.0 due to missile count and what missiles it did have.
Now it should be like a 16C sidegrade
