How about the F16?

Will there ever be an F16 in the game?

Yes, its planned. But no timeline yet.

It will come before the F-4 though... :music_whistling:

I'd swap my F/A-18 for an F-16 in a nanosecond.

Oh god not another F-16 thread....

I reluctantly admit that I am right with you there! :thumbup:

YOu know before the hornet released i too i thought i would prefer the F16 by a wide margin , but its not such a easy clear cut decision

Whilst i would prefer the Flight characteristic of the F16 over hornet, and its also nice that the Viper can Lug bombs in bundles of 3 per hardpoint with TER mounts, but In terms of Cockpit and avionics set up The the F18 is more user friendly and more digitally integrated than the Viper.

F/A18's UFC is more intuitive than the F16's ICP & DED

EW is more digitally integrated ( AN/ALR 67 v3 RWR is also later development than the AN/ALR 56) along with Instruments for Engine and Fuel management also being digital vs analog , and having a 3rd multipurpose display over just two is also nice, which means sensor deprivation is never a thing.

The only feature the F16 has over the Late C model Hornet that i wish i had in DCS ( Ie F16CM) post ccip upgrades which give fully colour capable displays, whilst in the Hornets AMPCD is the only display with colour capability, and the 2 DDI's are still archiac monochrome Green CRT monitors.

The F/A-18 is growing on me but i've had too many decades in F4/BMS to let the F-16 go. I prefer the Viper in a dogfight and it just looks so much better. ;)

Having both is the best plan and hopefully, it will happen.

Oh god not another F-16 thread....

Ahah! Then what about another 'How about the AH-64' thread? Better? :megalol:

Ahah! Then what about another 'How about the AH-64' thread? Better? :megalol:

but the difference is the F16C block 50 is officially confirmed.

We all know its going to be going into development after the Hornet is out of EA, while the Ah64 is not yet on the "to do list". IRRC for the time being we have to settle for the antiquated Ah1S Cobra.

Which means there are no more needs for " Gib me an F16" threads.

...unless you're at bingo fuel somewhere over the deep blue sea and your only available landing field is a tiny little aircraft carrier... :P

Can we get a Colomban MC-15 Cri-cri?

We all have to go sometime. I'll miss my dog.

"but the difference is the F16C block 50 is officially confirmed."

They said "It's not a matter of if but when" regarding the AH64... so... Sounds confirmed to me :)

yea but not anytime soon.

With the F16 its 100% sure thing ( and you know the variation), and basically in the intimidate to do list right after the Hornet.

It will come before the F-4 though... :music_whistling:

You know something I don't or is just speculation?

When Hornet is out of EA?

Haha. You mean in 2050?

More like 2019- 2020
