So this may be a bit of mindless complaint to some, and to those of you who think that im very much looking for ways to play this jet property or something as i have still not found a way.
Anyways…
The F-16A at 12.3 USA is UNPLAYABLE.
Somebody please tell me how Gaijin put a jet with only 6 Aim-9Ls and no fox1s or 3s, no stock chaff, no large cms while only carrying 60, at 12.3? The only thing this F-16 has going for it are dogfights, and even there its not really the best considering you are almost always uptiered to 13.0 where the gripen comes and kicks your arse.
Seriously tho this jet faces fox3s almost constantly, how do I survive?
And then you dont even have to look away from the US tech tree to find a plane at the same br thats just BETTER, it blatantly MOCKS the F-16A, the lovely F/A-18A at 12.3 carrying 8 missiles including the same Aim-9Ls the F-16 carries, while ALSO carrying Aim-7Ms. It also has that lovely cobra button (seriously why doesnt the F-16 get this?) that makes it a very formidable opponent in any dogfight, it can very much challenge the F-16A.
So how does this thing, being better in every way, sit at the same br as the F-16A whose whole armament can be countered with about 6-7 flares as the Aim-9Ls dont have IRCCM?
And maybe, just MAYBE the F-16A would be good at 12.3 if it FACED 12.3 AT ALL, its just constant and constant uptiers and dying and dying and dying. Ive been flying this thing for 4 days straight, ive been ignoring homework and not going outside just to give this thing a CHANCE and its just… awful.
And it pains me, I adore this plane and after 2 years of playing this game and finnaly reaching it, for it to be just this bad is dissapoing to say the least.
So am I right, or is this a massive skill issue on my end? And if so, please, i need tips.
