Best terrain for the F-16

[KenaiPhoenix]

First of all, I dont know if this is the right place to ask so sorry if I should ask on other thread.

 

Well, the thing is that i want to make the jump to a new map. I mainly flight the F-16, but from time to time i like to take off on my F-15C or the A-10A. Im getting familiar with the editor so Im not afraid to use that tool to make my own fun. but ofc having a good share of already missions and campaigns is also a bonus.

All this introduction is to ask what new terrain should i get to mainly fly an F-16? My first idea was to get the "South Atlantic" one because is it in has part of my country in it. Sadly the price is kind of really high for a map, and the comments that I have read is that the map is really not worth it. So should i just get anyways to play in my country or should I get instead Siria or the Gulf (or other)?

 

Thanks,

You could trial each map that you are interested in to decide for yourself which one is worth it and which one is not.

Get Syria. It's the best, and on sale.

I would go for Syria as well. Best map imho.

 

You can fly Jordan, Israel, Turkey F17 there ....

Pretty much every map short of the WW2 ones and Caucasus see actual F-16 operators, so you can pick whatever you want in that aspect.

South Atlantic has Chile which operates F-16AM/BMs and a couple of 16C/D block 50s without AMRAAMs, HARMs and L16.

Syria of course is the holy grail for F-16 flights, with plenty of combat service with Israel and with Coalition nations against ISIS, including block 50s from the USAF. Even for the older scenarios with Israel the block 50 makes for a decent stand-in when you disable the HMCS and turn off DL.

Persian Gulf has the UAE as an F-16C Block 60 operator. The USAF has a strong presence at Al Dhafra AB, though not with F-16s but they visit for exercises sometimes. The 480th FS was there in 2020 with their F-16s.

NTTR pretty much goes without saying. The USAF Weapons School at Nellis AFB uses all sorts of F-16 variants with the 16th WS. Red Flag exercises also bring plenty of F-16s around.

Marianas is in the same vane as PG. The USAF operates from Andersen AFB on Guam which hosts exercises involving the 13th and 14th FS F-16s from Misawa, as well as other PACAF F-16 squadrons from Korea and Alaska

I can strongly recommend both Syria and PG for a realistic setting for the Block 50. The Gamblers campaign coming for the F-16 made by Baltic Dragon is set in Syria, and overall both maps have a lot of community content.

Thank you all for your answers!
