What’s your favorite F-16 block and why ?.
Since I started playing I chose at complete Random and have since only flown the CM-52 (South Carolina) I am a little biased for single seat pits but brings me to another question does having a navigator (two seat pit) have any advantages can you use the navigator for anything or is he/she only ‘eye candy’
Thanks for replies curious as to why you prefer to fly a certain block.

Not because its the best F16, but I fly th MLU version: With the right wind they always break right above my village!!

As far as the USAF models go, the two seaters are trainers. That second seat is an instructor pilot, not a navigator. I think the Israeli F-16Is use the backseat for a WSO or something.
In the game, two seat aircraft have no advantage - you do not receive any assistance from the instructor/RIO/WSO/whatever in any aircraft.
As for my favorite block - I like the 50. It and the 52 are the most modern of the USAF ones, with the only big difference being that it has a stronger engine than the 52.
-
Block 60, and V.
-
Anything above Block 15!!
-
Block 52
-
Block 52… with HTS and AGM 88
-
Block 5 / 30 / 60+
-
block 50… ever since i learned the 52 is used by only 1 US squadron i figured that the 50 is better… that and the engine is different (spools quicker and behaves differently depending on alt) or it could all be in between the ears.
the power difference is entirely negligable,
my 2nd block of choice is the dutch MLU. but its not as capable as the block 50 in terms of wingloading.
my 3rd block of choice is a block 15 for dogfighting… it still is the fastest jet on the block
-
I fly the Belgian MLU almost exclusively.
Obviously, one reason is I’m Belgian myself.
It lacks a bit of engine power compared to newer blocks, but it’s still a very capable jet, and the Carapace is definitely one of the best EW systems out there. In fact, from what I’ve heard and read about the RL Carapace, it’s so accurate that it could actually be used for SEAD, without the need for other sensors, ie. the HTS pod. -
A block 50 with a WAR HUD.
-
-
CM block 50.
-
Which country had WAR HUDs on block 50s?
I don’t think anyone has ever ordered it…it’s just my fantasy lol. Singapore has the WAR HUD in their 52+ jets, though.
-
CM Block 40… again its for that HUD, the 50 engine would be nice to have XD
-
I believe that block 52+, 52M and block60 are the best cause gave pilots the oportunity to fly with the best situanional awareness(idm,data link,nvg’s,new radar,jhmcs,new weapons )

Yeah, but the 40,42,50, and 52 also have all that. CCIP and whatnot.
-
Danish MLU - Old but still a capable aircraft. But i also like the newest block 60.
