F-16A vs F-16C, Is there a reason to grind for it
I currently have a F-16A and was going for F-16C, but on closer look I can't really find a reason to grind for it except for slightly better missiles?

It's more for what the F-16C will be able to do in the future when Gaijin adds AMRAAMs. The Block 10s & 15s will not be able to use AMRAAMs while the F-16C can.

The Block 10s& 15s have better flight performance compared to the Block 50s, but that's only going to matter in the rare instances you actually get to 1v1 someone.

The AIM-9Ms also have IRCCM so they're resistance to countermeasures and have the added bonus of being smokeless.

The F-16C offers a lot more than what may be seen.

You're also going to be looking at an improved radar (Afaik), an HMD and much better ground ordinance.

Thanks, that clears my confusion about it!

The missiles are everything.

Also what this homie said, F-16C is effectively the best US CAS plane for Ground RB now. It's the first super sonic to get the AGM-65D on the US tech tree, which makes it incredibly lethal at distance when brought up to Mach speeds.

Id say biggest selling point is F-16C being an apex predator that was added too early. As it should be beating F-15 and Su-27 in a two-circle turn fight whenever gaijin adds them.

And needless to say it has better radar, engine and armaments then it's earlier variants.
