The F-16XF was used during the early stages of the Intercorporate War, primarily by the General Resource Defense Force. An export variant for the Universal Peace Enforcement Organization was also developed, known as the F-16XFU. It was used by GRDF ace pilot Keith Bryan. Nemo would also be able to use the UPEO variant of the plane. However, come later in the war, both variants would be retired for improved aircraft.^[1]

Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere

"An F-16 upgraded for better dogfighting capability, with a focus on turning ability. Overall stability is lower, but it can sustain tighter turns even with heavy ordinance. In addition to its turning ability, it has excellent climb abilities. It has moveable canards below the air intake which aid in high maneuverability. However, its overall capabilities are a little lacking."
