Honest Question. F-16A MLU v J-8F
I am about to get to 12.0 with China and would like advice on which jet I should go for

The J-8F is going to be released with very good All Aspect IR Guided missiles, the PL-8. The F-16A MLU has access to AIM-7M SARH and AIM-9Ls.

The F-16 is going to have more versatility in role thanks to its excellent dogfighting performance and weapon loadouts.

The J-8F is going to be best played as an ambush predator and BnZ tactics.

Whichever suits your fancy in this case.

Sounds like the F-16 would be the better option, I get the feeling the J-8F is more of a 11.3 jet
