Max speed: Mach 2.3
Cruising speed: Mach 1.5
Armaments (standard) : 4 air-to-air missiles, 6 Air-to-surface rockets, 2 wing mounted machine guns
Range: 2300 miles
Minimum runway length: 550 ft.
Purpose: All-purpose
Price: 14,000,000 USD per unit, 10 unit fleets for 120,000,000 special deals for regional connections and allies.

The F-16 on its own is a fine plane but with these modifications your pilots are sure to be happy. The elite Silverlecimian Airforce is uses them for most operations. They can be modified to hold bombs but A to S rockets are generaly fairly effective. Worth every penny.

So, I am assuming that the range, speed, cruise, and armament are all improved over the old F-16? The hardpoints would be centerline, fuselage, wings, wingtips?

I have 515 F-16 C's, so I'm wondering...maybe I'll request that you upgrade all of them, although I'm waiting for some other people to respond to this...how much would that cost? :D

Various mistakes.

Air to Ground rockets are almost useless, as they are unguided and are mainly for helicopters and CAS planes, which the F-16 is not, I also see no improvement in anythign else.

Lastly, it has wing mounted Machine Guns. The ruin the aerodynamics and take up valuable hardpoint space. Thre is plenty room in the fuselage.

Well it's my first time selling them I can't be right on all counts... hmmm... have to do more reasearch next time. Ahh well. I intended for most of the modifications to be weaponry. And the machine guns I just realized. I guess there's always room for improvement.

Why do you sell the F-16? May be the most popular fighter in the world, but a RAF Torando F3 can out dog-fight it (believe it or not) and how are you going to compete with people selling the F-xxx super-uber bomber?!
