The F-16 Mod is Extremely Anti-Fun
It is so good at everything you could want it to be that it lowers the dimensionality of the game. Why pick the A-19 when I cant kit out the F16 with slightly smaller payload but twice the speed/maneuverability. The absurd part is this is rank 3. Compare it to the revoker or vortex and it blows them out of the sky. The only exception to this is I believe the vortex can carry more 500LR for convoys but if I can zoom like I can in the F16 then I rather take the smaller load for the safety of speed.
I'd like to directly compare it against the Ternion that sits at rank 4. The Ternion has an absurd amount of hardpoints and raw speed but it balances that by constantly forcing you defense with its high rcs. It creates a unique gameplay loop that no other plane has in NO. The f16 is just the ifrit and brawler had a baby but took only the good resulting in easy sorties.
I wish they would just nerf it as its a cool concept and I love the F16 but as soon as I realized every loadout or goal I had could be solved with it, I knew it had to go.
