The F-16 Falcon is an Close Air Support vehicle in Squad. It is available to the Turkish Land Forces.
Mountainous terrain or urban cityscapes can result in air strikes that miss the target, sometimes by a significant margin.
Tactics[]
The air strike is best used against stationary targets such as enemy FOBs, HABs, or defensive strongpoints where there are large concentrations of infantry.
Note the delay between the call-in and the actual strike itself, as it is inadvisable to attempt striking crewed combat vehicles. The reason is because the vehicles will most likely move before they get hit. The narrow strafing run is not as destructive as the artillery barrage options, and has a shorter cooldown. As with all commander functions, you must be standing near a friendly HAB to use it.
Gameplay[]
The F-16 appears as a commander vehicle and can be activated as a fire support option. When activated it will appear, dive down on the marked target area, and fire a large salvo of rockets. These rockets are powerful, and can destroy a variety of vehicles and emplacements. The F-16 functions similarly to the A-10 and Su-25.
