Been flirting with the 16, but find AA engagements difficult, as I don’t see radar target’s aspect on the HUD. Usually it’s on the ASE ring for other jets (15, 18), but unless I’m blind, it’s missing on the Falcon. Anyone?
Still raw I guess. Still, I can’t wait to have radar gunnery for the viper, and a closure rate indication too. I’ll finally be more deadly in a viper than in a mirage.
The F-16C is free to fly on steam! From what I read on hoggit, this is supposedly also coming to the stand-alone but triggered a little earlier than was planned for. She’s also on sale!
So this sale is burning my purchasing finger a little. $40 is pretty nice for a module that’ll eventually be a very nice multi role aircraft for MP.
What’s your take on the current status? Pretty early days in comparison to the Hornet, I assume? Another 4 years until 95% done? Or is it an absolute smash already and I should get over myself and get it?
I bought it in the sale and although I was a bit meh before I bought it and never got into BMS I really like it. A lot works in it and it’s a very enjoyable airplane
I agree. It has most of the essentials and does air to air like a motherlovin boss.
It’s in the nitty gritty details of moving mud that a lot of work remains to be done. The SPI system isnt there yet, making the TPOD more of a placeholder than an actual tool of destruction.
I consider the current iteration of the F-16C Block 50 as more of a F-16A Block 15. When used in that way, it’s a blast! I only wish AIM-9Ps were available to fully complete the immersion, but AIM-9Ls work in a pinch.
