It certainly wasn't offering CCIP bombing
to the standard already well established by the F-16.


If I recall correctly,the F-20 had a CEP of 6 mils in CCIP bombing(I think 8
mils in CCRP,but don't hold me to that),which is pretty comparable to an F-16..

the lack of AIM-7F
(and AIM-120) capability meant it was quick to the fight but without
credible weapons.


The F-20 fired both AIM-7M and AIM-120 during weapons trials,I have a vid
showing both.

The F-16XL fixed this
by haveing the missles conformal. it could carry 4 Sparrows or Amraams
on the underside of the fusulage with very little drag.


Would a single seat XL been available in time as an alternative to rolling
out the 'C' model I wonder ? The increase in capability over the standard
planform makes for an interesting 'what if'.
