F-16V Viper

Sharper fangs and stronger venom.

-Description-

At the 2012 Singapore Air Show, Lockheed Martin unveiled plans for the new F-16V variant with the V suffix for its Viper nickname. It features an AN/APG-83 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, a new mission computer and electronic warfare suite, an automated ground collision avoidance system, and various cockpit improvements; this package is an option on current production F-16s and can be retrofitted to most in service F-16s. First flight took place...Continue here.

-Notes-

• Gun ammo is unlimited.
• On takeoff, use 100% trim with auto flaps enabled and feather pitch inputs to take off around 310 km/h. She's a heavy girl (for a Viper).
• On landing, use the trim to achieve your glide slope and adjust using pitch.
• To get the most out of the turn rate, slow down if above 900 km/h. While more maneuverable than the original Viper, it has a lot weighing it down that cancels this out.
• Multirole, SEAD and Strike loadouts come with GBU-39's - able to shoot farther and closer than JDAM's at the cost of firepower per bomb.
• SEAD loadout comes with the AGM-88G - able to shoot farther and travel faster than the older HARM's at the cost of having a longer minimum range and lesser payload.
• The AIM-9X's have been updated to be multirole missiles, a neat feature I wanted to add to act more like the real-life 9X. Because of this, every loadout is technically multirole now.
