My IQ consistently over 140 and you I will say about 85 because you are just about 20 points smarter than the average Nigerian and still armed with a primal brain ..You are sub human as far as I am concerned.

I bet you didn't know the F -16 was a low budget version of the F -15 grin. You thought it's was an advanced version right ? grin. I will keep educating U till u receive sense

F-16 is not a low budget F-15. At least if you're trying to school the guy (whatever you guys beef is), do it right.
F-15 is an air superiority fighter.
F-16 is a lightweight multi-role fighter.
Two different job profiles.

Stop arguing what you don't know ..the F16 was conceived are a low budget f16 without all all the powerful avionics and offensive reach of the F 15 ..The F16 will hold its own in an close quarter dog fight ad good as the F15 the only major difference is F15 ability to locate and strike enemy aircraft long before they can even sense it's present...Ask yourself why they F16 and 15s are always paired for sorties ...

Dude do you even know the planes you're talking about??
F-15 is a 4th Gen plane and you're talking about BVR prowess when it has no stealth.
F-16 Viper is the last step before you're qualified as a country to fly the F-35 and you're talking about having no powerful avionics.
Jeez... you guys are always quick to trigger your defense mechanism and buckle down on your error instead of making research and correcting your wrong stand.
Since you don't know.. Air superiority fighters are best in one role only, dropping other fighters out of the sky. for that they have speed and maneuverability on side but aren't good enough for ground attack.
Multi-role fighters are jack of all trades, masters of none.
Go do some research instead of buckling down on your error to prove nothing

It's clearer to you now, that the guy knows next to nothing.
I have my reasons of not engaging the lad.
He's an empty vessel who knows next to nothing but will be dragging with you as if he knows it all. Thank God from the little conversation you had with him, he has exposed his level of his ignorance
