    The bigger tail on the Block 15 was introduced because of the new chin mounted pod stations. What we have is the ADF upgrade of the Block 15, which added IFF antennas and AIM-7 capability.

    Super hyped this was added because the Netz felt like the inferior F16 for a bit as it literally lacked anything special. Every nation had Aim7s available while this guy had Aim9s at best but even though we still don’t get BVRs these Pythons close the gap for Israel just a little bit. Great video btw!

    The f16A bl10 is the best dogfighter bc it has the best aerodynamic balanced. Once it began getting upgrades such as the chin mounts, hardpoint changes, new engine, etc. it was no longer the perfectly balanced masterpiece it was first designed to be. The larger tail plane was for added stability since it was already teetering on the edge and messing with the weight distribution meant it needed that extra safety.

    • @spectre0969
      @spectre0969 11 місяців тому +4

      I’m pretty sure it’s more so that the tail was made bigger to counterbalance the extra electronics in the nose of the bl.15, so the whole thing is heavier in general at least that’s how it works in WT

    F-16 Netz is a Block 10, but the AJ and MLU are Block 20s. AJ and MLU have the performance of the Block 10, but can carry AIM-7, which means they're both MLUs. The reason why the US doesn't get the MLU is because the MLU (Mid-Life Upgrade) is similar in performance to the F-16C. However, Japan never operated the F-16C, instead electing to have Mitsubishi Heavy Industries produce the F-2, which was a licensed copy of the F-16C, modified with slightly larger wings in order to fulfill a support role. Taiwan was forbidden from purchasing the F-16C (ordained by China), so instead they got upgraded Block 10s, which became the MLU (Block 20).
    What does this mean for the US tech tree? This means that next in line is the F-16C, since it's the same as the MLU in performance, but with the capability of carrying the AIM-7 and the first generation AIM-120.
    Note: Japan never operated the F-16AJ. In fact, it doesn't actually exist. Gaijin implemented it because Japan received a single test variant of the F-16 Block 10, however it's important to note that Japan chose not to buy it. This is where the licensing for the F-2 construction came in.

    They have also seemed to improve the flight model of the Block 15, where it’s rip G is 13.5 and some of its wing was move to the “inter wing” on the FM. I stopped playing the F-16 until now but I’m absolutely living even the Block 15. I wish Gaijin would rework the FM because even though it’s true that F-16’s are not G limited (surprise surprise) but AoA limited, the FBW ensures through AoA that it cannot pull more than 10 G, which the F-16 can barely get, I think it’s possible to achieve 9.6 G or something. Either way it needs a reworking.

    • @GeneralLee2000
      @GeneralLee2000  11 місяців тому +3

      They don't do real limiting for the flight models in RB even for FBW, for example the Mirage 2K had FBW and a limiter and still pulls much harder. Personally I don't want limiters implemented, would be stupid for earlier planes to be hitting 15Gs and the newer stuff stuck at 9.

      @@GeneralLee2000 that’s a fair assessment. It certainly doesn’t break the game because the F-16 pulls ever so slightly harder than it can irl, especially since MiG-29’s are casually pulling 14G in game which is at the edge of their breaking point. It is fair to note that the Block 15 ‘s enlarged elevators did not decrease performance IRL, in fact it retained the same performance while adding stability at high AoA and increased nose authority on the takeoff roll.

    The BLK.10 frame definitely has the instant agility advantage over the BLK.15 and BLK.20, but if I'm being honest, with how I play the plane, I don't really notice it. I don't like to get very slow because I fear a 3rd party plenty of times. Therefore, I will either stay at very high speeds and constantly take verticals, or I will keep the F-16 between ~800-850km/h IAS to get the best rate speed out of her (You can get 25-26 degrees per second sustained on RB controls). I will use either method at discretion, but prefer the rate when I can since no one can keep with you. That Mig-29 may be able to pull around fast, but after he gets below 550-600, it's over if he doesn't already have a shot.

      Going vertical is what gets me killed in the block 15 because the high speed turning is just non-existent. Everything feels infinitely better flying the block 10 than the block 15.

Because if you're not maneuvering while head-on to a Mig-29 that is locking you within 6km, you probably deserve that death... The high compression is also mostly found at lower altitudes, which is an area I try to avoid since it leaves me with less options. If I either have to go low or an forced low, I will use the vertical so I can cash in some of my speed for altitude and position. I will also be keeping track of my surroundings and remembering the last known positions of enemies I know are not yet dead.

    • @Broomtwo
      @Broomtwo 11 місяців тому

      @@Registered_Simp Basically within like 5-10 km, if you can't see someone and you go vertical at high speed, then as you go vertical you get radar locked, you are pretty much dead because of the g-limit and terrible turn rate. Its just a risk. If you know where everyone on the enemy team is, then its fine for turning your speed into altitude if you have time to do the maneuver before they are in range. The compression/g-limit is worse on the ADF so its harder to notch missiles in time in general if you are going super-sonic and can't see someone and they launch a radar missile at relative short range. That's why I either hug the ground to defeat missiles if I am going fast, and I usually sit at trans-sonic speeds if I am low to mid-alittude so I can cut enough speed to notch in time.

    I have the F-16A ADF and the Netz. It is a night and day difference for me, the difference between their flight models. The ADF feels like an absolute brick. And is deeply unfun to fly. The block 10 Netz actually feels like it can maneuver, and not to mention it has Python 3's now, I think I would rather have 6 Python 3's than 4 AIM-9L's and 2 sparrows. Netz is the best F-16 in the game right now in my opinion. I've got like a 4:1 or 5:1 KD flying it out.

      F-16 Netz is a Block 10, but the AJ and MLU are Block 20s. AJ and MLU have the performance of the Block 10, but can carry AIM-7, which means they're both MLUs. The reason why the US doesn't get the MLU is because the MLU (Mid-Life Upgrade) is similar in performance to the F-16C. However, Japan never operated the F-16C, instead electing to have Mitsubishi Heavy Industries produce the F-2, which was a licensed copy of the F-16C, modified with slightly larger wings in order to fulfill a support role. Taiwan was forbidden from purchasing the F-16C (ordained by China), so instead they got upgraded Block 10s, which became the MLU (Block 20).
      What does this mean for the US tech tree? This means that next in line is the F-16C, since it's the same as the MLU in performance, but with the capability of carrying the AIM-7 and the first generation AIM-120.
      Note: F-16AJ doesn't exist. Gaijin put it in because Japan got a single F-16 as a sample test, but the JASDF chose not to buy it.

      F16ADF : 60 flares, radar missiles and worse maneuverability.
      F16AJ : same as the F16A, but with Radar missiles

    I have no idea what's wrong with the people thinking the block 5/10 irl are better dogfighters than the block 15/20 onwards. the argument "increase in weight" is stupid, the difference is only 280kg over 7690kg empty weight. That a 3,6% increase in weight. The elevator increase is 30% of the surface. Even then, the "wing loading" difference is neglegible for that reason of just 3,6% increase in weight. If you actually take a look at the Flight Performance diagrams (E-M diagrams) they are exactly the same at the same altitude for every speed/G turn etcetera. So, please, all of you trying to "justify" this bullshit, stop doing that, the F-16 ADF and MLU irl are superior to the block 5/10 because they are able to carry Aim-7. The flight performance with same payload is not inferior.

But hey this is WT and that's few and far between 🤫 So yes the Chinese plane gets HMD and it really isn't that much of a benefit, don't get me wrong it is but it's a slight one.

It's pretty much like the J-8B and the nose can flop around and you can get some pretty nasty snapshots and you can get the nose to go where you want it. So if you made it down the Chinese line then you know how it is. But you need to sneak around the side of the map to get kills in and stick to the ground so ya can't get SARH missiles launched at you.
