I want to add something to this thread, and it’s to demonstrate the IRL counterparts (non-marketplace skins and non-“event” skins) to what we see in-game. I decided on this after noticing a few “generic” skins in the game for these aircraft. This is VERY image-heavy.
USA
F-16A Block 10
The first of the American F-16s is a “generic” (I say this because it lacks a serial number on the tail) F-16A Block 10 operated by the 428th TFS. This aircraft has no other non-marketplace skins.

F-16A Block 15 (ADF)
The second of the American F-16s is a Block 15 aircraft upgraded under the Air Defense Fighter program, which gave the existing radar of Block 15 aircraft a CW illuminator for use with AIM-7 Sparrow missiles. The one in-game is aircraft #81-0786 of the 114th FS. This aircraft has no other non-marketplace skins.
114th FS F-16 Block 15 ADF #81-0786 (1992-1997?)
F-16C Block 50
This aircraft is the first (and currently only) of the American F-16s that has access to the AMRAAM. This aircraft has 4 USAF skins and one Iraqi Air Force skin. The years represent when the respective livery was used.
77th FS F-16C Block 50 #91-0353 (2021-present)
78th FS F-16C Block 50 #91-0383 (1994-2004)

IQAF 9th FS F-16C Block 52 #1614
Japan
F-16AJ
This aircraft was marketed towards Japan by General Dynamics in order to provide an option for their FX program. The F-16 acquisition never materialized and therefore all the skins for it are “alternate history”, with a generic grey camo and two based off existing F-2As.

F-2A 501
F-2A 509

China
F-16A Block 20
The sole F-16 in the Chinese tree is a generic aircraft (lacks serial) of the 22 FS of the 455 TFW. China received F-16s under the Peace Fenghuang program.

The Italian Air Force received 25 F-16A ADF aircraft under the Peace Caesar program. The default skin in-game is generic (lacks serial). There are two more skins.

I want a remake once they add F-16C BLK 30, F-16D BLK 40 (USAF), F-16E blk 60, F-16V block 70, and F-16C PoBIT lol
Why do you want an F-16D?
Because it’s the first jet to ever get an AMRAAM kill

On the topic of F-16 skins…
The Block 10 for the US only has one market skin, and it’s semi-historical at best (since IRL it was on a Block 15).
There are a few pretty nice skins from WT Live I hope to see it get over time…
(Speaking of, I’m still hoping someone will cover some of the FSD schemes at some point…)

The guy who make those F-16 skins are my favourite, his skins are on different level.

The thing is a UFO and the AOA should be limited to its IRL 25 degrees and going over 29 degrees AOA should lead to deep stalls.
F-16 overperforming in AOA and also ITR due to that // Gaijin.net // Issues
I should not be able to low speed scissor at over 30 degrees AOA and pull 50 degrees AOA and recover easily.

Your report will probably be labeled duplicate and given a link to this report which of course has been collecting dust for a flight model report.
