F-16As COMPARED: What Are The Differences? | F-16A, ADF, MLU, AJ, Netz

[@derritter3873]

The AJ simply has the best livery. Which makes me excited for the future JASDF jets since the F-15J’s and F-2 also have fantastic paint jobs.

[@ovrwrldkiler]

The italian ADF also has some kickass liveries

[@cutthroat795]

The japanese F-16 already has the F-2s paint jobs

Sorry for the re-upload, I fumbled the bag when rendering the video the first time and had to correct the mistake

[@CorporalAdrianShephard.]

This is a good video. Covers the bases of each F-16 currently in the game. Perhaps next you could cover the F-4 Phantoms or maybe the Mig-21/23.

[@jaek_898]

Definitely thinking about doing phantoms next, or maybe trying one about every IR missile or every radar missile for example

[@CorporalAdrianShephard.]

Missile comparison sounds good. I’ll be looking forward to that should you decide to do it.

[@matawg]

Short, simple, direct to the point! Great video man! :)

[@zzz6730]

Totally unlike you who's videos are boring, unnecessarily long and just dragged on.

Great video, hope you continue to make more. This style is super informative but also quick and accessible.

[@hippyhebrewhomestead8593]

You’re probably the most easy to listen to voice I’ve ever heard on war thunder information videos. You remind me of the officers that did training videos when I was in the Navy haha. Appreciate these videos.

Pretty simple video concept, but it was executed well. I'd love to see more for other widespread jets like the MiG-21, MiG-23, F-4. Tornado, etc. Also, the Ace combat music is great.

[@Broomtwo]

The US getting the worst version of its own plane is an absolute classic

[@Littlefish1239]

But the best grind

[@bangyahead1]

We all know the US never supplies its allies with planes better than its own, but its a game... go figure.

[@vesical7952]

its not about that allies develop better versions of the plane like Japan and Israel. The F16 was not jointly american many nations helped build it just like the F35.. @@bangyahead1

[@pyrothefryer7619]

man the video editing is amazing

[@dilldoe1991]

Honestly Jaek is just based, it’s nice not hearing “booo f16 bad shit brick” for once.

[@ovrwrldkiler]

Has anyone actually been saying that recently? It was very stiff on release but we're like 7 FM/instructor tweaks in now and it flies waaaay better than back then.

[@HighRiskV]

For me, the MLU is hands down the best to rack kills with. The TWS and extra detection range makes this the best and easiest radar to work with in WT, using the TWS and track targets below you make a viable strategy to get consistent long range kills with the aim9L. The F-14b can't do the same because the TWS mode has trouble finding targets that are not heading into you, so the F-16MLU has an awareness advantage because it has a medium prf TWS that can find targets that aren't perfectly notching at up to 60km range.

[@bestatom0902]

This was a very helpful video thank you now time for me to go grind for a F-16

[@_ace_defective_]

this was a really good video! hope to see more in the future, you're pretty knowledgeable about the game so the information would be very helpful!

[@captain_kirkyt2481]

As a WT player who just got to 5.7 planes and it not even close to top tier, I can confirm the blue one is the best

[@billydoe6240]

Excellent video as always, but the Ace Combat Menu music was the best part of the video

[@AlienVibesss]

ooooooo i appreciate the shoutout in the description.

[@giorgosdetorakis5105]

The that you are using Ace Combat music in the background makes your videos stand out.

[@-Hari-03]

would be cool if the block 15 and 20 got better flight performance due to the larger elevators (since that was the reason they were added IRL anyways) and the updated NETZ with the extra countermeasures would also be cool. maybe if they increased the BR cap and updated the model of the larger elevator f-16s they could add another f-16 to the israeli tree and give it the larger elevators and the extra countermeasures and the Python 3s (maybe also take away the python3s from the standard netz if thats the case). idk if israel even had one of those but gaijin seems to be getting a bit loosy goosy when it comes to factual f16s given the japanese tech tree f16

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

Yes, many have stated that it supposed to have worse performance, which is incorrect. If you do some deep reading you’ll find that the later Blocks enlarged surfaces countered the heavier weight, and actually improved stability at high AoA, which means better near stall characteristics and a better takeoff roll. Other than that it’s performance in a dogfight was pretty similar, as the improved stability is for much lower speeds.

[@Texas_Engineer_Mike]

Larger elevators were added purely to compensate for the weight of additional avionics which made F-16 a bit nose-heavy.

[@Texas_Engineer_Mike]

@@jacobbaumgardner3406 *"later Blocks enlarged surfaces countered the heavier weight, and actually improved stability at high AoA"* which means they improved stability of later models with bigger elevators compared to smaller elevators, not that they were better than earlier blocks.

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

@@Texas_Engineer_Mike Exactly! The should perform no better, no worse. Yet, they perform worse in game.

[@Texas_Engineer_Mike]

@@jacobbaumgardner3406 I mean yeah they shouldn't pull less AoA or G-force but also shouldn't be better than earlier lighter blocks when it comes to responsiveness and agileness.

[@lippytheoneguy8968]

F-16A block 10 is objectively the best in dogfighting in the game

[@eupi9098]

I'm a simple man. I hear ace combat music and I like the video.

[@sebastiantheseal4465]

The Block 10 is also rather fun if you don't want to grind a whole different tech tree to play the Netz, Aim9Ls are braindead fun, I can just launch em at people who aren't paying attention and get 2-3 kills.

[@ace0fdiamonds]

I'm not sure you are a ground player, but I would appreciate a video like this for the Abrams tanks. Besides knowing which of them have 105s and which have 120s, I don't know too much about them. For example, what is the difference between the M1A1 and the M1A2 for one to be a whole br higher than the other? Is it because the A2 has a round that pens 31 millimeters more? Or is there an armor difference too?

[@fishman5262]

Future here two more F-16s were added to the game

[@EzioD86]

Great information + Ace combat music ? Bro do more ! You'll be the best WarTuber ! :D

Its part of the naming system that denotes differences between production aircraft that arent different enough to get a new letter (F-16A changed several times before we got to F-16C for example). Other planes in WT use this, like P-51D-5 and P-51D-30 for example. Other planes in WT like the F5E are a mashup of parts of different block numbers.
