The doctrine/task limits were capturing a reasonable average for the era, but it did a bad job for cases like the Harrier vs the Hornet, which perform similar missions but have drastically different max ranges. It also forced us into limiting CAS missions (even those flown by long range aircraft like the A-10) to 50nm since helicopters could commonly be fragged to them. This should allow us to design campaigns without needing airfields to be a max of ~50-100nm apart.

description:
|
|
"The F-16C is a single seat, single engine multirole fighter that was
|
|
developed in the 1970s. More than 4,500 units were manufactured and are operated
|
|
today by 26 countries where the aircraft performs numerous missions that include
|
|
air superiority, close air support, precision bombing, air defense suppression,
|
|
reconnaissance and more. Few other aircraft can match its versatility, maneuverability,
|
|
firepower, and huge production numbers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nicknamed the Viper by its pilots, the F-16 was designed with a reclined seating
|
|
position for high G tolerance and a single-piece bubble canopy for exceptional visibility
|
|
and comfort. Its lightweight and powerful F-110-GE-129 engines provide a greater
|
|
than 1:1 thrust ratio.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Housed in the nose of the Viper is a multifunction APG-68(V)5 radar. The aircraft
|
|
can also be equipped with multiple sensors such as the LITENING targeting pod and
|
|
HARM Targeting System (HTS).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Viper is armed for air-to-air combat with Sidewinders, AMRAAMs, and an internal
|
|
20mm 6-barrel Gatling gun. It can also be loaded with a wide range of air-to-ground
|
|
weapons that include general purpose bombs, rockets, canister munition, Mavericks,
|
|
laser- and GPS-guided bombs, and more"
