In the old days it was easier, the F-5E Tiger II was the fighter and it was easy to tell cos the F-5E couldn't carry much. And the A-4S Skyhawk was the strike aircraft.

The F-16 is a multirole fighter which can do everything a bit but nothing real good as there are air to air, air to ground, SEAD and reconnaissance. Too informate your self about it you could check out
www.f-16.net . It's a quite nice site but a bit too patriotic. It seems as if the F-16 was the best aircraft in the world.
The earlier F-15s where concipated as fighters who also can do air to ground. This scheme has now changed to the opposite. The F-15Es, -Is, -Ks, -Ts can do air to air quite well but do not have any chance against Eurofighter or Rafale.
