The F-16F Fighting Falcon, unofficially known in real life as the Desert Falcon, is a variant of the F-16CM/DM Block 50/52 Fighting Falcon. The Block 60 F-16E/F boasts superior technology compared to the standard F-16 Fighting Falcon. The F-16F is a two seat variant of the Block 60 series. It can be used as a multirole fighter and/or attack or a trainer aircraft. It features conformal fuel tanks (CFTS) on both sides of the fuselage, much like those of the F-15E Strike Eagle, thus giving the aircraft a greater combat radius.
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
The F-16F is a fighter featured for the first time in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon. The Japanese Assault Horizon official page's July 20 update added a new gallery featuring screenshots from the newly announced Capital Conquest multiplayer mode. Some screenshots featured the F-16F, alongside its one-seater brother the F-16C and their HUD target indicators, although the airframes themselves are off-screen.
The F-16F is a low-tier Multirole aircraft available immediately in the Campaign. While slightly slower than the F-16C, it boasts minor improvements in all other stats.
