sc marines arent much bigger than today's people and a muta's attack range is like what...7 marines? Thats not very far at all. And at top speed, it can fly over 6 marines per second? Thats not very fast doesnt seem like muta has a chance, even if it can ohko | ||

From this, we can conclude that the F16's main range advantage over a mutalisk is largely negated. However, the F16 also has a large speed advantage over a mutalisk. If the F16 can score even a few hits before coming into mutalisk range, it can turn around, put some distance between them, and repeat, much like goliath-BC micro, or vulture-zergling micro. It all depends on if the F16 can get any hits on the mutalisk at extreme range. If it can, which is likely (even if only a few), the F16 can win easily, assuming no mistakes are made. | ||

I am going with Mutalisk, they can evolve to Devourers. They still have their final metamorphosis phase or some SC2 shitz. SC is like 300 years later in our time line, so why are we comparing a plane of current century? | ||

And for those who say Wraith < F16... wtf? Wraith is basically a combat fighter 200+ years more advanced than anything we have right now. Given its weak ground attack, its clearly designed more for air superiority role than anything else. It is also able to take tremendous amounts of damage compared to modern fighters, i.e. it is fully functional from 120 hp to 1 hp. F-16 is an outdated aircraft anyways. It's in the process of being succeeded by the F-23. Plus, even *China* has designed an aircraft that can out perform the F-16, and China's somewhere about 20 years behind the US in military technology. | ||

In a verses match we take evidence, not conjecture into account. We cannot assume that wraiths are more powerful than F-16s merely because they exist several hundred years into the future. The only admissible evidence is what is canonical: primary source being the game, and secondly any fiction. Thus far we have seen Terran technology to be a mixed bag; while using some futuristic technology such as cloaking, it is also incredibly backward in many ways (the vertically shaped, double-barrelled, short-barrelled siege tank for instance, is a poor pre-WW2 armour design which could easily be outgunned by a Panther or T-34-85. All evidence suggests that the mutalisk is incapable of out-fighting a 4th generation fighter, when it is outranged by infantry and has a much more difficult time doing damage to a supply depot, for instance, than a F-16 would in a ground attack role. | ||

No, it's not stronger than missiles. The mutalisk cannot outfly a F-16, being nowhere near mach speed. (As we can deduce from cinematics.) | ||

Also, terran civilians are really strong, and marines can shoot for miles. [[EDIT]] In terms of damaging a supply depot, remember that a nuclear weapon is barely enough to take one out. I'd like to see a F-14 do that. | ||

Hmm... Totally wrong ![]() How Starcraft units play out is obviously based not on realism but on game balance. However, since you are taking "evidence" (which can incidentally be twisted oh so many ways by looking at different unit relationships), I will argue on your grounds. First of all, according to Blizz, the Marine rifle is much more powerful than your average modern-day rifle. They use Gauss technology, which presumably allows the high-density U-238 bullets to travel faster and thus have better penetration than modern rifles. So, okay, if a Mutalisk can be brought down by 20+ bursts of a super high-powered assault rifle that's fine- I'm pretty sure an F-16, if you are able to hit it with even half as many bursts, will go down in a fireball. A mutalisk's structural integrity is still very good. Second of all, the Mutalisk's attack is not "weak." In the Starcraft world, it takes 5 hits for a mutalisk to take out an unarmed "but no proof for being unarmored" civilian. Similarly, it takes 7 hits from the aforementioned high-powered gauss rifle to take down a civilian (yes, that makes perfect sense -_-). So a mutalisk's firepower is at least more potent than several high-velocity U-238 rounds. Thirdly, there is the question of maneuverability. A mutalisk can, never mind turn on a dime, turn on a PIXEL without the loss of velocity. F-16's do not even have vector thrust. Even if its speed is very slow, say 300 mph (not too unreasonable based on the FMV's), in a dogfight maneuverability is key. Most of the new generation fighters have lower maximum speeds than the previous generation (F-18 compared to F-14, F-22 compared to F-15, and so on), but better maneuverability. In this aspect the Mutalisk can dodge missiles and out turn the F-16 every time. Lastly, there is the structural integrity of the F-16. Based on "evidence," a mutalisk can survive 13 dual-missile volleys, or 13 missile turret missiles (which don't really count, its since the modern equivalent would be like the Patriot missile system). A wraith, incidentally, can survive 6. An F-16 can survive... one? At most? And based on more "evidence," all starcraft units have perfect aim. So that means the F-16 can survive at most, 3 hits from a mutalisk, provided that they do not hit critical areas such as the cockpit. Therefore, Mutalisk > F16. I have too much time on my hands. | ||

One single mutalisk shot would cut any of today's steel like butter and cause the plane to lose all flight control and crash. While it's missiles wouldn't scratch the carapace of an alien creature which can stand many shots from much higher technologically advanced missiles from the far away future. Anyone who disagree is obviously a noob who never flied on a F16 and shot an alien. | ||

A Mutalisk on the other hand, from the same stand point. Would really be unable to travel at those speeds. (This is just from a "What we know as possible" standpoint) I don't think a Mutalisk could beat it's wings fast enough to keep pace with any Terran air vehicle. Nor is it capable of traveling in space. Unless it has some sort of unexplained propulsion system... So really, I believe a F-16, would completely waste a Mutalisk. Sure missiles would not be able to lock onto it. That doesn't mean they couldn't use their guns. The Mutalisk would really be dead before it even knew what hit it. Unless it seen it coming. Then maybe it could avoid the F-16. F-16s are just to fast for it to compete with. So yeah, I'd have to go with a F-16. But from a game stand point. The Mutalisk would win. Since Muta > Wraith. | ||

Just 1v1 in air? Mutalisks can fly forever, eventually F16 will crash, no chance what so ever. 1v1 in air Mutalisks can evade above atomsphere, again, F16 will be unable to chase. Easy dodge. Mutalisks can morph into devour, which could slow F16, causing it to crash, seeing how F16 cannot suspend in midair like a wraith could. | ||

Judging by the cut scene of SC1, a mutalisk doesn't move much faster than a biplane. A F-16 can zig-zag its attacks and outrun it by a mile. -That a missile turret has equivalent capability to a modern missile, which it obviously does not, (it also has no tracking capability) given that it could not shoot down one of those prehistoric critters in fewer than six shots. | ||

In their original forms these creatures were capable of atmospheric and deep-space flight, although how they accomplished such a feat is poorly understood. Apparently they were even capable of migrating between stars, presumably while in some kind of larval form. So yeah, they can fly in space. Somehow. ^^ There is also proof in game, as they have absolutely no trouble flying on space-platform maps. People arn't comparing them correctly, though. You either compare them both in "realism", or both "in game". Realistically, a glaive wurm would rip an F16 to shreds, go through it, and take out the next 12 F16's behind it. It woudlnt even bounce. It'd just rip right through.... if it hit. On the other hand, an F16's rocket would blow the crap out of the mutalisk. Even some good cannon fire would rip it apart. It could hit its wing and it could lose its flying ability. It could lose a vital organ, possibly bleeding to death, or even dying instantly (brain, heart?). Blow its brains out. Literally. ^^ It would be exactly the same with a Wraith. From an SC-ingame standpoint, everything is different. Everything is scaled. Battlecruisers, in "real life", could have like 12 baseball feilds in them. They're liek flying carriers, only bigger. Think Imperial Cruisers from Star Wars, with a yamato gun. Yet, in-game-scale, you'd be surrprised that a goliath could even fit in there. Obviously, no matter how much armour a marine has, he can't withstand a glaive wurm. If he could hit the muta, he could probably kill it. Still, unless the muta is mentally challanged, it wont' drop right in front of him and start attacking. It'll be flying over, shoot, and continue on doing whatever the hell its diong. Thers no way your oging to hit a target thats moving that quickly (although, since theyre zerg, theres probably thousands/millions/billions. Firing at it might miss, but you'd probably hit another ^^) You also have to take it account that both coudl miss and dodge. I would put my money on the Muta, although the F16 certainly stands a chance. Put in a more advanced fighter and the Muta's chances go down further; not completely though. In most cases, I'd say "first one to hit wins". | ||

In game representation: Mutalisks. Mass muta always rape wraiths head to head and it doesn't look like F-16 could have splash damage. ![]() | ||

And how fast would mutas fly realistically? Mutas are not aerodynamic at all, they are like worms with wings. If they can somehow reach say 200 mph, that is already unreal. And that's not even a third of the speed of an F-16. The jet would jsut outmaneuver and pick off every singe muta. | ||

How could a projectile launched by muscular spasms with no lock on hit a supersonic jet? It can't. It's hard to hit a supersonic jet even with missiles and you are talking about a piece of bone for christ's sake. And how fast would mutas fly realistically?

That also means there'd be 999999 mutalisks for one F16. | ||
