According to some accounts, during the [[A World With No Boundaries]] insurgency, [[Galm Team]] encountered the Osean [[Wizard Squadron]] over [[Area B7R, Belka]]. During the battle, four members of Wizard Squadron used F-16XLs as a distraction from the other four members, who were utilizing stealth [[YF-23 Black Widow II|YF-23A]]s. All of the units were shot down by Galm Team.{{ref|ACZM16K|[[The Demon of the Round Table]], under the Knight [[Ace Style]].

Revision as of 09:26, 10 February 2020

The F-16XL is an Attacker variant of the F-16C Fighting Falcon. It features a cranked-arrow delta wing design, and can engage ground targets with speed and power, typically at a cost to its mobility.

History

Strangereal

The F-16XL was operated primarily by the Belkan Air Force during the Belkan War. It was also flown by the paramilitary terrorist organization A World With No Boundaries in limited numbers. The (former) OADF Wizard Squadron used F-16XLs in conjunction with YF-23As.[1] Other notable pilots who flew this aircraft were Belkan aces Elmar Hahn, callsign Amsel,[2] and Thomas Hein, callsign Dichter.[3]

During the Circum-Pacific War, the Yuktobanian Air Force used F-16XLs against Osea's 1st Tank Battalion as they advanced in Operation Desert Arrow.[4]

During the Aurelian War, F-16XLs were used by the Leasath Air Force during the war's middle stages.[5]

Joint Assault universe

Antares Squadron had access to the aircraft during the Valahia Crisis.[6]

Infinity universe

F-16XLs were available to UNF pilots during Operation Eternal Liberation.[7]

Game Analysis

Ace Combat Infinity

"A heavily modified version of the F-16.
The main wing has been changed to a cranked-arrow delta wing and it has the largest weapon carrying capacity among the F-16 aircraft. It features improved stability in low speed ranges and its abilities as both an attacker and a bomber have also been improved. The aircraft competed with the F-15E in the Enhanced Tactical Fighter (ETF), a programme that was conducted by the United States Air force. Unfortunately, the aircraft was not adopted and is now used as a subject of flight research in research institutions."
