F-16C In War Thunder : A Basic Review

Yes, I know, I have a bad habit of leaving my airbrake open sometimes, and you're only the 255334th person to tell me.

“AIRBRAKE ON” they added this for you Tim

The Targeting pod slaving to the helmet is accurate. The radar should also do the same. The current F-16C we have is the Block 50M which is an upgrade package from 2006.

6:08 is no one gonna talk about this absolutely amazing turn from the Tomcat?

At 6:10 that f14 almost pulled a crazy maneuver on you if it wasn't for your squadmate

That F-14 at 6:09 was insane.

i grinded it out fast since i had a bunch of the modification RP bonuses saved up on other aircraft. i can say the plane is incredible. i was never too big of a fan of the f16's but this patch they feel much different and i am a big fan of the block 50. the aim-9m and the new g-limiter make this plane feel so nice to fly.

You do have to be careful with the F-16 speed bleed because if you pull hard at medium to low speeds, you'll dump a lot of energy away. But if you manage your speed carefully, nothing short of an F-16A will have a chance against you. But the F-16 does surprisingly well at scissors too, so dumping speed to pull hard can definitely work well.

6:29 good to know you take your own advice.

Thanks for all your dedication on these videos Tim, keep up the great work!

Saw the community post, glad you were able to get this one out today. Keep up the great videos!

Nice video! I’d love to see a review of the new Italian AV-8B+ next!

When I seeing this I remember spectrum holobyte's 16 Fighting Falcon game back in the early 90's. That game came with a thick manual. It was an awesome game, playing a F16C block 50 with a lot of missions, different armaments and you had always to look at your fuel. At that time there were a lot of really good jet simulators on the market (F15 Strike Eagle, , Longbow Apache, A10 Tank Killer, F29 Retaliator and so on). Somehow I miss that time. I never got the same feeling back, actually like being on a real mission. :)

Thanks for the video Tim!

Babe wake up new Tim video

Great video as allways.. looking forward for the barak 2

So hyped to unlock this thing, though I got fucked by the A being the main F-16 and the ADF being foldered.

Running this thing with just the wingtip 9L/Ms you REALLY notice the extra 20% in that new engine. Its like running an F8E with energy retention of a Mig19. That HMD targeting is such a small bonus that just ties a bow on the gift that this plane is.

Love your vids dude keep it up!

Hey Tim, i have a suggestion. For aircraft that have MFDs especially now we're getting more modern planes, maybe you could show us all the possible modes on each MFD since sometimes they can switch for example an RWR when thats not in the cockpit anywhere else
