== History ==<br />
The french plane Dassault Etendard, was designed on an airplane base initially intended for the French Air Force to participate in the competition for the best ground attack hunter capable of operating from artisanal runways.<br />
<br />
this device was not retained by nato, preferring the fiat G.91. the French Air Force did not want it and preferred to wait until the end of the development of mirages III.<br />
<br />
however, the prototype for the French Air Force caught the attention of the navy, which requested a navalised prototype in 1956.<br />
<br />
a new reactor was then added to it : the atar 8 (atar 9 without post combustion) ; an in-flight refueling pole ; new high lift devices ; a new fuselage with a larger wing area ; foldable wing tips ; a new reinforced structure to support catapultages and landings ; and finally, changed the nose cone to put a bigger one, accepting the size of the Aida radar. Therefore, 5 devices were ordered in pre-production by the French Navy in May 1957. On May 21, 1958, at Melun Villaroche, Jean-Marie Saget took charge of the plane. The Etendard flew as fast as the SMB2 while the Etendard had no afterburner.<br />
<br />
Its performance and carrying capacity make the Etendard an excellent assault aircraft, also good for a secondary mission : from interception or Dogfight.<br />
<br />
Dassault will produce 90 copies in Mérignac without counting the prototypes. from the Etendard IVm n ° 1 to n ° 69, deliveries were made from December 1961 to May 1965.<br />
<br />
The Etendard IV M will be gradually withdrawn from service depending on deliveries of Super-Etendard from 1978.<br />
<br />
in Lebanon, in Yugoslavia, in Kosovo, the Etendard made France shine on all fronts, all conflicts. air defense, interception, bombing, to any he will have participated.<br />

<br />
The main purpose of the D.520 is the role of an interceptor/fighter. It has no bomb-capacity and thus stands limited to aerial combat. In this respect there are a few things to consider, first and foremost that this is a fighter that does not do great away from a squad. It has mediocre flight characteristics as far as speed, climb and turn is concerned. It is however quite well armoured to compensate for such, meaning that it will stay air-worthy where other aircraft would crash, and instead stands a fighter which is effective in engagements where it has support to rely on. Without such support, it is a very situational plane which can engage certain enemies depending on advantage in altitude, speed, or sometimes even a turning radius. It has a respectable armament of one powerful Hispano 20 mm cannon with a very limited ammunition load (60 rounds), and four 7.5 mm guns with a good deal of ammunition which makes it competitive in realistic battles. Its strong airframe is able to withstand significant wind resistance making it potent in a longer dive. Despite its limited attributes it handles fairly comfortably and thus can be a real asset to a pilot which employs situational awareness combined with an in depth understanding of the enemy aircraft he will choose to either engage or avoid. It has a potent incendiary tracer round for its machine guns and the Hispano makes it pack a fairly significant punch despite its limited cannon ammunition. The D.520 is best considered a heavier single-seat fighter aircraft which can out-endure other enemy squads due to its armour, but not out-turn, out-run, out-gun many other types of aircraft on its own rank.<br />

== History ==<br />
The Dewoitine D520 was one of the most successful French fighters of the Second World War.<br />
<br />
Designed from 1936 by Émile Dewoitine on its own funds, to respond to a call for tenders from the French Air Force seeking a hunter to succeed the Dewoitine D510, and capable of reaching 520 km / h. The project will be carried out by SNCAM, a new company, resulting from the nationalization of the Dewoitine workshops. Three prototypes were built: the first, which flies for the first time on October 2, 1938, equipped with a Hispano Suiza 12Y21 of 890 horses, does not manage to exceed 480 km / h. Motorized by a 12Y29 and equipped with a variable-pitch propeller, it reaches a speed of 825 km / h in dive.<br />
<br />
The other two prototypes were developed during 1939, equipped with their armaments, and in March, 200 copies were ordered, followed by 600, subsequently reduced to an additional 510 in June. In September, at the start of the conflict, total orders rose to 1 280 and in April 1940 to 2 250.<br />
<br />
The series D520, the first copy of which was produced in November 1939, is equipped with a Hispano Suiza 12Y45 engine of 935 horsepower and armed with 4 machine guns 7.5 mm in the wings, supplied at 675 rounds, and a 20 mm cannon , with 60 shots firing across the axis of the propeller. It began equipping the french Air Force from January 1940, but was not fully operational until the end of May. At the armistice, 437 copies were produced and 351 delivered.<br />
[[File:D520 in meeting in France.jpg|thumb|454x454px]]<br />
<br />
In April 1941 production resumed to equip the Air Force of the Vichy Regime which ordered 550 copies. Although a little slower than the Messerschmitt Bf109, it was more maneuverable and was one of the only aircraft able to supplant it at the start of the war. However, built in too small a number and arriving too late in the various hunting groups he equipped, it is not enough to reverse the course of history.<br />
<br />
The Dewoitine D520 is credited with 147 victories in aerial combat against the Luftwaffe and Regia Aeronautica, for 54 planes shot down. Some planes were product and buy by the French Vichy State to oppose the Allied landings in North Africa and the occupation of Lebanon and Madagascar.<br />
<br />
Some aircraft captured by the German army during the 1942 invasion of the south zone were used as training aircraft by the Luftwaffe and other Axis powers. They were also sold in large numbers to the Bulgarian force, about 150 planes which fought against the American planes. In 1944, the D.520s taken over from the occupying armies equipped the 1st FFI Hunting Group, under the command of Marcel Doret, to carry out missions in the Bordeaux region and the Royan pocket.<br />
<br />
At the end of the war, the remaining aircraft were used for the training of French pilots until 1953. A total of 775 copies were produced.<br />

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} French fighter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.73 "Vive la France"]].<br />
<br />
The aircraft is a high altitude interceptor/ energy fighter, with it's turn radius slightly better than before. The quick dive speed and high energy retention allows the player, with the correct altitude, to engage opponents below numerous times using the high yo-yo method. This aircraft should not be used for ground attacking due to it's average ammo count. <br />
<br />
The 37 mm M10 cannon is ridiculously powerful. Aim carefully when firing, and do not fire too quickly, lest your gun jam and you lose your main weapon. A single shot to a wing or fuselage of an enemy plane will be all that it takes to bring it down.<br />
<br />
The M2 Brownings are similar to the guns on the Bf-109 spotters. Use them to judge the range for your cannon shot. They are almost useless (except for those lucky pilot snipes) offensively.<br />
<br />
== General info ==<br />
=== Flight Performance ===<br />
It's a good ground attack or air defense aircraft, its 37mm gun is an advantage for ground attack and his engine are good for fetching bomber or boom and zoom on the fighters with this 4 machine guns 12.7, he is really effective.<br />

== Armaments ==<br />
=== Offensive armament ===<br />
<!--Describe the offensive armament of the aircraft, if any. Describe how effective the cannons and machine guns are in a battle, and also what belts or drums are better to use. If there is no offensive weaponry, delete this subsection.--><br />
{{main|M4 (37 mm)|Browning M2 (12.7 mm)}}<br />
<br />
The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:<br />
<br />
* 1 x 37 mm M4 cannon, nose-mounted (58 RPG)<br />
* 2 x 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine guns, nose-mounted (250 RPG = 500 total)<br />
* 2 x 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine guns, nose-mounted (200 RPG = 400 total)<br />
<br />
The four machine guns are arranged in bundles of two mounted, all mounted in the nose of the aircraft. The 37 mm M4 cannon is mounted inside the propeller shaft and fires through the propeller hub. <br />
<br />
=== Suspended armament ===<br />
<!--Describe the aircraft's suspended armament: additional cannons under the wings, bombs, rockets and torpedoes. This section is especially important for bombers and attackers. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.--><br />
{{main|AN-M64A1 (500 lb)}}<br />
<br />
The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' can be outfitted with the following ordinance:<br />
<br />
* Without load<br />
* 3 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs (1,500 lb total)<br />
<br />
== Usage in battles ==<br />
<!--Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using vehicles in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).--><br />
It is recommended to use the P-63 against large fighters and bombers. It is far easier to hit a bomber with the cannon then a small fighter with it.<br />
<br />
Head-on attacks are not advisable- the large cannon combined with the relatively weak M2s make for poor head on accuracy. Only engage in head-ons if you are absolutely confident in your aim.<br />
<br />
Boom and Zooming is also an effective tactic with this plane. It's large cannon makes getting shots while diving relatively easy, and its high climb rate and energy retention can get it to safety. <br />
<br />
Bomber hunting is also extremely effective with the P-63, a large bomber is far easier to hit with a massive cannon. A single shot can take off a bomber's wing. However, don't spam the cannon. Keep the delay between shots at a 1-1.5 seconds. Firing too quickly will result in a jam, which makes your plane almost useless offensively.<br />

== History ==<br />
The french Air Force received approximately 112 P-63 C "Kingcobra" aircraft, and a few groups were fitted with them. The Kingcobra were not delivered until after the end of the second war and therefore did not participate in the fighting, but subsequently they were used in Indochina where they were often transferred from one unit to another, being often left behind by units returning to mainland France.<br />
<br />
When the Indochina War broke out, plans were made to use the Kingcobra, but the planes had been delivered for their use in France and it was necessary to obtain the American's agreement to send them to Indochina. This is why the Kingcobra did not arrive in Indochina until 1949.<br />
<br />
The Kingcobra will be operational in Indochina at the end of August 1949 where 48 aircraft will be delivered.<br />

== Armaments ==<br />
=== Offensive armament ===<br />
<!--Describe the offensive armament of the aircraft, if any. Describe how effective the cannons and machine guns are in a battle, and also what belts or drums are better to use. If there is no offensive weaponry, delete this subsection.--><br />
{{main|M4 (37 mm)|Browning M2 (12.7 mm)}}<br />
<br />
The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:<br />
<br />
* 1 x 37 mm M4 cannon, nose-mounted (58 RPG)<br />
* 2 x 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine guns, nose-mounted (250 RPG = 500 total)<br />
* 2 x 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine guns, nose-mounted (200 RPG = 400 total)<br />
<br />
The four machine guns are arranged in bundles of two mounted, all mounted in the nose of the aircraft. The 37 mm M4 cannon is mounted inside the propeller shaft and fires through the propeller hub. <br />
<br />
=== Suspended armament ===<br />
<!--Describe the aircraft's suspended armament: additional cannons under the wings, bombs, rockets and torpedoes. This section is especially important for bombers and attackers. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.--><br />
{{main|AN-M64A1 (500 lb)}}<br />
<br />
The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' can be outfitted with the following ordinance:<br />
<br />
* Without load<br />
* 3 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs (1,500 lb total)<br />
<br />
== Usage in battles ==<br />
<!--Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using vehicles in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).--><br />
It is recommended to use the P-63 against large fighters and bombers. It is far easier to hit a bomber with the cannon then a small fighter with it.<br />
<br />
Head-on attacks are not advisable- the large cannon combined with the relatively weak M2s make for poor head on accuracy. Only engage in head-ons if you are absolutely confident in your aim.<br />
<br />
Boom and Zooming is also an effective tactic with this plane. It's large cannon makes getting shots while diving relatively easy, and its high climb rate and energy retention can get it to safety. <br />
<br />
Bomber hunting is also extremely effective with the P-63, a large bomber is far easier to hit with a massive cannon. A single shot can take off a bomber's wing. However, don't spam the cannon. Keep the delay between shots at a 1-1.5 seconds. Firing too quickly will result in a jam, which makes your plane almost useless offensively.<br />

== History ==<br />
The french Air Force received approximately 112 P-63 C "Kingcobra" aircraft, and a few groups were fitted with them. The Kingcobra were not delivered until after the end of the second war and therefore did not participate in the fighting, but subsequently they were used in Indochina where they were often transferred from one unit to another, being often left behind by units returning to mainland France.<br />
<br />
When the Indochina War broke out, plans were made to use the Kingcobra, but the planes had been delivered for their use in France and it was necessary to obtain the American's agreement to send them to Indochina. This is why the Kingcobra did not arrive in Indochina until 1949.<br />
<br />
The Kingcobra will be operational in Indochina at the end of August 1949 where 48 aircraft will be delivered.<br />
<br />
'''The transferred units were:'''<br />
<br />
'''-''' The GC I / 5 Vendée which will become the GM III / 6 Roussillon,<br />
<br />
'''-''' The GC II / 5 Ile-de-France,<br />
<br />
'''-''' GC II / 6 Normandie-Niemen.<br />

== History ==<br />
In the first half of World War II, the US Navy, which needed a long-range land-based aircraft for the Maritime Patrol, made an agreement with the US Air Force for production sharing B-24 Liberator which was intended for him.<br />
<br />
At the very beginning of 1944, a variant of the B-24 with an elongated fuselage and a single fin was developed under the name PB4Y-2 and baptized Privateer. 736 copies were delivered to the United States Navy<br />
<br />
It was built in two versions: PB4Y-2B, version intended for the bombardment, and PB4Y-2S intended for the anti submarine fight.<br />
[[File:PB4Y 2 privateers in french flotille 28F.jpg|thumb|283x283px]]<br />
<br />
It was in November 1950 that the Naval Aviation in Indochina received its first Privateers. These devices, delivered to type "S" (Anti Submarine Fight) had to be transformed to type "B" (bombardment) with installation of the Norden sight. Operational in the 8F (future 28F) squadron, they replaced the PBY-5A - Catalina in 1951. The Privateers also equipped the 24F flotilla for a few months (May to September 1954) at the height of the Indochinese conflict.<br />
<br />
Their role in day and night bombing missions in Na-San as in Dien-Bien-Phu was decisive, even if the sacrifices made by the crews could not, in the end, influence the course of history...<br />
<br />
They remained in service until 1960 at 28F squadron.<br />

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} French fighter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.73 "Vive la France"]].<br />
<br />
The C.R.714 is a good transition for new pilots going from biplanes to mono-wing aircraft. Like many aircraft which are mono-wing (light Japanese aircraft excepted), they are heavier than biplanes leading to a poorer turning radius in comparison. Alternatively, newer mono-wing aircraft tended to utilize larger engines and were capable of more power. The C.R.714 initially was developed as a race plane and excels when it is allowed to remain at speed, however if forced into a turning battle, it will lose speed rapidly.<br />
== General info ==<br />
=== Flight Performance ===<br />
the caudron 714 is really dificult to play because your only avantage is the speed at this br.<br />
<br />
In reality it's a racing plane, not a good fighter.<!--''Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Maximum speed, maneuverability, speed and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.''--><br />

The C.R.714's racing heritage heavily influences the play style for this aircraft: Boom and Zoom. Use your speed to get in, hit a few targets, and get out. '''Do not engage in a turn fight!'''. Most of all of other fighters you will face will have a tighter turning radius and will easily find themselves right behind you. <br />
<br />
The C.R.714 is a fairly responsive aircraft and while it may not be the best turn fighter, if you are caught in a turn/looping fight, utilize the strong rudder to aid in making sharper turns. Many times, utilizing the rudder will throw off the trajectory of your aircraft making it more difficult for a pursuing aircraft to get accurate gun fire on you. <br />

== History ==<br />
The Caudron CR714 was imagined around the concept of the "Light hunter". The CR714 is a direct descendant of the brand's glorious record aircraft. The first C710 fixed-train model, studied by Maurice DEVLIEGER's team, was therefore presented in 1934, in response to the C1 program (renewal of hunting) in the light hunter category. The C710, which flew for the first time on July 10, 1936, was rejected due to its too limited performance: 460 km / h in level. It is quickly followed by the CR713 "Cyclone". The design is identical to the C710, but this time it has a retractable train, and a redesigned fin. It flew for the first time in December 1937. Only Russia was of interest for this CR713, as well as for the C710. (see version chapter)<br />
<br />
Caudron continues the development of the Caudron hunter, and presents the CR714, very similar to the CR713, it flies for the first time on July 6, 1936. The tests continue (see chapter version) while the first orders arrive in November 1938: 20 copies and 180 optional. The Air Force saw in this device a double interest: it did not use the Hispano Suiza 12Y-31 engine of the D520 and MS 406 in particular, and used non-strategic materials. It is actually built mainly in wood, with a wing plywood and only a few magnesium fairings are used on the fuselage. The CR714 quickly revealed its major weaknesses: underpowered, and weighed down by the latest reinforcements and military equipment, its performance is mediocre, while its armament composed of 4 machine guns of 7.5 mm in the wings under fairings, is far too weak. The Air Force decided to block the production of the 90th copy, and to reserve a part of the copies already manufactured in Finland.<br />
<br />
Delivery started slowly, with the commissioning of 9 aircraft in March 1940. 6 of them were delivered to Finland which withdrew them from service in March 1941 ... This is one of them, N°5 (registered C-553), which after many journeys is being restored, and may one day be presented at the Air and Space Museum<br />
<br />
The CR714 were first assigned to the DIAP (Polish Aviation Instruction Depot) and to the GCMP (Polish Fighter and Marching Group) for training aircraft, before going to equip the brand new GC I / 145 " Warsaw ". This group is initially assigned to the defense of Lyon, before being moved to the field of Villacoublay. Despite problems of reliability, a lack of qualified personnel and spare parts, the group aligned on May 24, 1940, thirty aircraft including 8 operational.<br />
<br />
The Polish pilots were able to make the most of this aircraft, which was so inefficient. The speed of the CR714 did not allow them to catch up with the fast German bombers, yet they managed to shoot down 8 enemy aircraft for the loss of 4 pilots. On the evening of June 11, 1940, only 11 CR714 remain in the group, which will finally collect Bloch 152 and Morane 406.<br />
<br />
When the Germans seize the ground of Guyancourt, or its based the workshops of the manufacturer, they seize about twenty plane which will be used as lure on airfields. The devices present in the Free Zone were reformed at the end of 1941.<br />
<br />
The Caudron firm was known before the war for these magnificent racing planes, its prestigious pilots, including Hélène Boucher, tragically disappeared, but the Caudron 714 demonstrated that one could not transform a "Racer" into a fighter plane. Military equipment weighs down the cell and penalizes performance: the concept of the lightly motorized light fighter is a failure.<br />

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} French fighter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.73 "Vive la France"]].<br />
<br />
The V.G.33 can adequately deal with planes with similar BR. It is quick, nimble (to an extent), and powerful. Its machine guns and single propeller-mounted 20mm does a decent amount of damage. However, it lacks armor, so take that into account when engaging other aircraft.<br />
<br />
== General info ==<br />
=== Flight Performance ===<br />
This plane have a good performence, is a really good fighter : good armement but low number of ammunition for the 20mm gun, good turn time and good rate of climb.<br />
<br />
you will easily fight the first models of bf-109.<br />

The V.G is a very competitive aircraft at its Battle Rating, with decent climb rate, good speed and good manoeuvrability. Its biggest weaknesses are its lack of ammo and lack of armour. To take advantage of this plane it's best to side climb and exploit any opportunities that are spotted. Both turn fighting and BnZ tactics work well with this plane but turn fighting is the better of the two due to the lack of ammo, it also allows for, generally speaking, a better and cleaner shot. Trigger control is key when flying this.<br />

'''Pros:'''<br />
<br />
* 20 mm cannon is very dangerous, especially with high explosive ammunition.<br />
* Relatively fast.<br />
* Excellent manoeuvrability.<br />
* Impressive efficiency of 4 x 7.5 mm MAC 1934 machine guns.<br />
<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
* 20 mm cannon has very small ammo pool.<br />
* 20 mm cannon under-performs until you research new ammunition belts.<br />
* Too weak, especially the fuel tanks.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
'''The arsenal VG 33 c01 is a fast fighter but arrived too late.'''<br />
<br />
A light hunter of very high quality, the VG-33 was produced by the firm Arsenal de l'Aéronautique and belonged to this generation of aircraft whose production could not be completed due to the war. Given the international context of the time, it was indeed necessary to rearm as quickly as possible an Air Force sorely lacking modern and efficient fighters. A rate of 350 devices per month was desired. Nevertheless, 160 copies of this aircraft had already reached an advanced stage of production in June 1940, but only a dozen of these machines were able to fly.<br />
<br />
The VG-30 prototypes had the distinction of being built entirely of wood. This non-strategic material (unlike the aluminum then commonly used in the manufacture of all aircraft) avoided any supply problems. Another advantage of the wood put forward by the engineers of the Arsenal, was the possibility of having the aircraft sub-assemblies manufactured by carpenters and cabinetmakers.<br />
[[File:VG-33 c01.jpg|thumb|362x362px]]<br />
<br />
The VG-33 presented itself as a low-wing single-seater built entirely of wood and powered by a Hispano-Suiza 12Y liquid-cooled engine. Its armament consisted of a cannon and four machine guns. The prototype, which flew in the spring of 1939, displayed excellent overall performance, especially in the field of speed, and reached 558 km / h during official tests carried out in August of the same year. The performance of the prototype was superior to that of all fighters then in service like the Dewoitine D.520. The VG 33 flew 30 km / h faster than the D.520 with an older and less powerful Hispano Suiza 12Y engine of around 100 horsepower.<br />
<br />
They were probably destroyed by the Occupant, who already knew the device well. Indeed one of the five examples seized in June 1940, the n ° 3, had been extensively tested at the Rechlin flight test center.<br />

Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).'' --><br />
'''In AB''', the F8F-1B can perform at its prime, which is, accordingly, remarkably. Due to the lack of damage due to overheating and such, the F8F-1B can easily outstrip any piston-engined fighter in a climb once upgraded. Prior to the engine-injection upgrade, the 1B performs very well, but not as sublimely as it does with the latter modification. Thus, climbing and BnZ match perfectly with the F8F-1B in AB due to its astounding climb rate, speed, acceleration, and weaponry.<br />
<br />
Regarding weaponry, fire in very short bursts with the M3 20mm because they will jam rather quickly. The most ideal belt is Air Targets, as the belt has - together with the stealth belt, but the Air Targets belt has instead of a practice shell an API-T shell - the most HEF-I shells.<br />
<br />
'''In RB''', the F8F-1B is a monster. It possesses a fantastic climb rate, roll rate, high-capacity armament, and flight performance. Top speed and level speed are top notch in this aircraft, as is the dive-speed tolerance (~800 kph). Unfortunately, this power comes at a great price. Called the "Ovencat" by some players, the F8F-1B's engine will overheat in less than a minute while utilizing WEP. It is not recommended for any pilot to use WEP UNTIL unlocking the "Radiator" modification!. Therefore, always side-climb at the beginning of a match as the 1B needs all the energy it can get, especially when facing opponents such as the FW-190 D which can out-climb an F8F-1B in continuous climb due to the lower thermal restraints of its Junkers engine.<br />
<br />
The F8F-1B suffers at altitudes over 6,500 m. Below that, of course, utilize Boom & Zoom as your main tactic. Acceleration is magnificent as is dive speed. You will find it rather difficult to rip your wings in a dive. Careful not to push the Bearcat too far, though, as rolling manoeuvres and fast-paced moves can easily rip its wings.<br />
<br />
The M3 20 mm cannons have an extremely fast fire rate and thus may drain your ammunition storage rather quickly. However, the massive 826 round storage should be plenty for quite a lot of battling in the skies!<br />
<br />
The F8F-1B can also be used as an effective fighter-bomber. It can carry a large payload of Tiny Tims, bombs, and assorted rockets, making it an effective attacker.<br />
<br />
Turning is not recommended in RB due to the 1B's mediocre turn rate.<br />

== History ==<br />
The Bearcat was the direct descendant of the famous Hellcat. Indeed, in the summer of 1943 a team of engineers from Grumman began, at the request of the American authorities, the study of the replacement of the Hellcat. It was the project called G58 which would use the same engine as its predecessor, the very good Pratt & Whitney R-2800 double Wasp. The aircraft was very light and its armament was reduced compared to its predecessor. Indeed for it to be more efficient it had a lighter cell to gain maneuverability and ascent speed.<br />
<br />
Its intended function was a light interceptor on board an escort light aircraft carrier<br />
<br />
Grumman engineers therefore studied the lightest possible cell capable of accepting the heavy weight of the double Wasp R-2800 W engine. The Americans always had in mind the performance of the Japanese Zero, which were light and well-motorized and which were the surprise at the start of the Pacific War. It was therefore important that the new aircraft beat the Japanese on their own terrain : maneuverability ; even sacrificing the usual strengths of the Hellcat: armament and protection.<br />
<br />
Two prototypes were ordered on November 27, 1943 called XF8F-1. The first flight took place on August 31, 1944 only nine months after the order. The tests went perfectly even if it was necessary to modify the drift to resolve a certain instability in flight, especially in yaw.<br />
<br />
The F8-F1 "Bearcat" arrived too late to participate in the battles of the Second World War, but they were however embarked on the US aircraft carriers.<br />
<br />
These planes, which are particularly well studied, are considered to be the best piston engine fighters of all time, even if they have never been in combat on the American side.<br />
[[File:French F8f.jpg|thumb|329x329px]]<br />
<br />
The first Bearcat (44 ex.) Arrived in Saigon on 07/02/1951 aboard the aircraft carrier "Windham Bay". The second delivery (46 ex.) Took place on 03/25/1951 by the aircraft carrier "Sitkoh Bay". The whole joined Parc 482 de Bien Hoa for destocking. Other deliveries to the Air Force were made in 1952 and 1953 bringing the total to 209 copies, it was F8F1 / F8F1B. The aircraft were either equipped with machine guns or cannons, which explains the two names, version "B" corresponding to the cannon version. These weapons were easily recognizable because if the machine guns were completely embedded in the wings, the guns protruded from the leading edge.<br />
<br />
The main criticism of the Bearcat was their relatively low autonomy, for this the devices intended for France were modified so that the arming pylons could also receive additional releasable tanks, the versions delivered had a designation US F8-F1D and F8- F1BD.<br />
[[File:Bearcat of GC 3-6 crashed to Haiphong in 1951..jpg|thumb|200x200px]]<br />
<br />
During the battles in Indochina the Bearcat were used as support plane and they gave full satisfaction for this use. Many accidents were deplored, many on takeoff or landing, often without too much seriousness for the pilot, which was not the case for combat accidents where many pilots died ...<br />
<br />
The last Bearcat were returned to the United States either delivered to Vietnam or Thailand in late July 1956.<br />

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} French jet fighter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.89 "Imperial Navy"]]. <br />
<br />
The original F-86D was developed as bomber interceptor and was outfitted with a retractable ventral rocket-rack which housed 24 x 2.75 in (70 mm) [[FFAR Mighty Mouse|Mighty Mouse]] folding-fin aerial rockets. Lacking cannons or air-to-air missiles, the F-86D was limited in role strictly as a bomber hunter. In 1953 the Italians approached North American in an attempt to modify the existing F-86D into a fighter-interceptor, however, the proposed changes proved too costly. This cost overage required scaling back the requirements and from this was produced the F-86K, a fighter-interceptor aircraft which was outfitted with 4 x 20 mm cannons and two AIM-9B Sidewinder missiles. Originally this aircraft was produced for the U.S., however, later the Italian manufacturer Fiat was licensed to also manufacture and produce this version of the fighter.<br />
<br />
{{Quote<br />
|'''Fun Fact''': The Sabre Dog was initially to be designated F-95, but had its name changed to F-86D instead, in order to make it seem like a variant of the existing Sabre and not an entirely new aircraft. In reality, however, the F-86D was only about 25% similar to the original F-86 and the name change was only done to secure further support for the project.<br />

=== Flight performance ===<br />
<!--''Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.''--><br />
<br />
The F-86K is a good aircraft at its rank, but not the best. The F-86K has very good low-end acceleration due to its afterburner, however, this aircraft is still only a subsonic fighter. Like every other jet, it's bad at manoeuvring at low speeds and it's control surfaces compress at high speeds. However, the F-86K can handle top speed relatively well compared to other aircraft of its rank. If the F-86K can do one thing very well, it excels when going into vertical flight. <br />

In March 1949, the North American company launched the development of a new jet interceptor, based on the existing F-86 Sabre, as part of a private venture. The new design was the first interceptor developed to be operated by a single crew member and utilized unguided rockets in combination with a complex fire control system, rather than conventional guns, in order to destroy its target. Already by April, the project had received official endorsement from high-ranking military officials and development of a production version began in parallel.<br />
<br />
While a production contract was signed in October, the first prototype, designated YF-95, conducted its maiden flight in December 1949. In the early ‘50s, Soviet nuclear testing and the subsequent start of the Korean conflict led to an accelerated development of the YF-95. Despite this, problems during development caused production to be delayed, resulting in the aircraft reaching its first units only in March 1951. During the delay however, the designation of the aircraft changed to F-86D and it received its unofficial nickname “Sabre Dog”.<br />
<br />
In January 1953, North American was approached by an offer from the Italian military to develop a twin-seater version of the F-86D armed with cannons. As the cost and necessary redesign work turned out to be too great, an agreement was made to produce the aircraft in its original design, but with cannon armament and a simplified fire control system instead. This new export version of the Sabre Dog received the new designation of F-86K.<br />
<br />
Initially, the F-86K was produced exclusively in the U.S., but would later also be manufactured under licence by the Italian Fiat company. The F-86 entered service in 1955 and apart from the Italian Air Force, the F-86K also served with many other operators worldwide including France, West Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Honduras, Venezuela. Around 340 F-86Ks were produced out of over 2,800 Sabre Dogs built in total. Most of the F-86Ks would be decommissioned by the late ‘60s, while some even went on to serve into the ‘70s.<br />

<br />
The F-86K was the all-weather interceptor version of the famous "Saber", a version developed from the F-86D for use by NATO air forces in Europe and for various US allies.<br />
<br />
These aircraft delivered by Fiat for France (1956-1957), were attributed to EC 1/13 Artois, EC 2/13 Alpes, and EC 3/13 squadrons.<br />
<br />
the 1/13 fighter squadron was established in 1956 in Lahr, Germany. It was then the only french Air Force squadron classified as an all-weather fighter squadron, with twelve pilots. The first commander of the group was Colonel Risso, a former member of the Normandie-Niemen and a great fighter pilot. Towards the end of 1956, the 1/13 fighter group began to receive the first of eight Lockheed T-33 "Shooting Star" intended for pilot training, as well as the F-86K simulator. The US Air Force provided two pilot instructors. The "Saber" thus becomes the first aircraft of the Air Force equipped with an afterburner reactor, a radar with fire control and air-air missiles. French pilots first trained on T-33 and on a simulator. In April-May 1957, all copies of F-86K were delivered to the 13th Fighter Wing "all weather". the 13th squadron was then repatriated to the Colmar-Meyenheim air base, but the same units used them, the 1/13 Artois fighter squadron and the 2/13 Alps fighter squadron. The F-86K will be replaced by Mirage IIIC in 1962.<br />
<br />
At that time, most of the missions consisted of all-weather identification and interception exercises, with refueling stops on American or Canadian bases in the FRG, while the pilots, summer and winter, were placed on alert in tents ! The "Sabers" of 13th "all weather" squadron are on alert 24 hours a day, ready to take off in an interval of one hour, then fifteen minutes.<br />
<br />
[[File:F-86 K at the french aeronautics museum "Le Bourget".jpg|thumb|335x335px]]<br />
Six years of use and 36,380 flight hours with 22 incidents, involving the destruction of six aircraft, punctuated the operational career of the "Saber" in French colors.<br />
<br />
In April 1962, the 3/13 squadron was created, this squadron will always regroup in Colmar-Meyenheim the last F-86K until November 1962, taking them to the end of their potentia<br />
<br />
The latest Air Force F-86Ks were reportedly returned to Italy and sold to certain countries in Central and South America who wanted all-weather interceptors to defend their skies.<br />
<br />
The only copy, 55.4841, is kept in France, exhibited at the Air and Space Museum of Le Bourget.<br />
<br />
These planes were, it seems, used in particular in Algeria in air defense missions against spy planes deployed by the Soviets, and to counter the cargo planes supplying in arms the resistance of the FLN.<br />

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} French jet fighter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.93 "Shark Attack"]].<br />
<br />
== General info ==<br />
=== Flight performance ===<br />
<!--Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.--><br />
<br />
The F-100 during its initial development was outfitted with the then de-rated Pratt & Whitney XJ57-P-7 engine and was still able to achieve faster than the speed of sound. By the time the F-100D rolled off of the production line they were outfitted with the more powerful Pratt & Whitney J57P-21. It is this engine which turns the fighter into a hot rod. The F-100D is much like a ground-based dragster in that it has acceleration, it has a high top speed and is a horrible turner.<br />
<br />
The F-100D is aerodynamically fit with its sleek body and swept-back wings which coupled with its J57P-21 is a fantastic climber which continues to accelerate even without WEP engaged. This fighter will continue to accelerate in a flat run to the point of going over Mach 1 and even more quickly hits top speeds when in a dive. Climbing, diving and rolling are excellent capabilities of this fighter, however, this comes with having speed on your side as when flying slower, it has a more challenging time to manoeuvre without being a relatively easy target for others. The F-100D is not the greatest of turners even with leading-edge wing slats to help, manoeuvres like the Immelmann and Split-S are the most optimal when changing directions without attempting energy-bleeding manoeuvres like turning (unless that is what you are intending to do to cause an overshoot of someone following you).<br />
<br />
Flying at speeds close to Mach 1 or past can pose a challenge for pilots utilising the 3rd-person view as a condensation cloud forms around the aircraft and obscures your view (not an issue for those flying simulator-style from in the cockpit). While this can make targeting enemy aircraft a challenge, it just takes a little more work to line up the shot either with the cannons or air-to-air missiles.<br />
<br />
Typically aircraft which pound ground targets fly slow to ensure they hit their targets with guns, rockets or bombs, however, the F-100D becomes difficult to get out of harms way when flying slow, so it requires the pilot to learn how to bomb and fire rockets at targets at higher speeds than what they may be used to with earlier aircraft. Terms like drop & run or fire & forget come into play as the F-100D descends towards a ground target at a good clip, dropping its bombs or firing its rockets and then boogieing out of the area to ensure the ground anti-aircraft fire nor any trailing fighters gain a targeting solution on you. Some pilots like to watch and make sure their ordnance hits the target, however, this can cost you your jet when someone takes advantage of your inattentiveness and gets the drop on you. Speed in and speed out is the key with the F-100D.<br />

=== Survivability and armour ===<br />
<!--Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.--><br />
<br />
For post-war fighter jets wanted to take advantage of the newer jet technology and maximize both speed and ordnance carried. To keep up speed and maximize ordnance, something had to give and that came with pilot survivability. The idea is to be faster than the enemy which would make it really difficult for them to get a targeting solution on you. Though the F-100D does have protection for the pilot, it isn’t much and leaves the rest of the critical components virtually unprotected with armour. For the pilot, the back of the seat and headrest maintains a continuous piece of steel at 12.7 mm thick and the windscreen is rated at 64 mm bulletproof windscreen. Typically this type of protection is meant more for protection from defensive turret attacks from bombers rather than gun attacks from other aircraft.<br />
<br />
The F-100D is a relatively sturdy aircraft and can take a beating before critical components begin to fail. While the engine and the pilot are important to protect as much as possible (without the engine you don’t go and without the pilot…you don’t go…) the wings are another critical component which you must protect as hits to the wings can make flying very difficult or send you to the respawn point. If being tailed by another aircraft try to speed away because if you try to pull up, turn to the side or pull-down, you risk expositing increased surface area of the skin, giving the enemy pilot more to shoot at and a greater opportunity of taking out a wing. If possible, increase speed and sway back and forth, even some very shallow elevator dips up and down maybe enough to throw off the sighting of the enemy pilot and spray his bullets all around you without exposing very much surface area of the jet, however, if there is a missile launch, take evasive action to avoid the missile and worry about the guns later.<br />
<br />
== Armaments ==<br />
=== Offensive armament ===<br />
<!--Describe the offensive armament of the aircraft, if any. Describe how effective the cannons and machine guns are in a battle, and also what belts or drums are better to use. If there is no offensive weaponry, delete this subsection.--><br />
<br />
{{main|M39A1 (20 mm)}}<br />
<br />
The '''''F-100D''''' is outfitted with:<br />
<br />
* 4 x 20 mm M39A1 cannons 200 RPG (800 rounds total)<br />
<br />
Early fighter aircraft utilized the wings of aircraft to mount machine guns and cannons, which was very effective especially aircraft like the P-47 which could outfit four guns in each wing for a total of eight. The downside is that for these guns to be effective, they had to have a convergence set to a specific distance, bullet hits before that distance and after became less effective, the pilots needed to make sure to hit the sweet spot. For the F-100D, convergence is non-existent as all four of its M39A1 20 mm cannons are mounted on the underside of the fuselage, effectively able to decimate targets at extremely close range or snipe targets which maybe even 700 - 800 m, if not farther away, effectively almost any range (below 1000 m) is a sweet-spot for this fighter.<br />
<br />
The cannons are air-cooled and rarely overheat, typically with the 200 round limit for each gun, the pilot should want to make each shot count and not just hold down the firing trigger and spray away. Another bonus to having all four cannons being the same type and calibre is that the bullets will have the same drop rate, so after getting used to how they work, it is much easier to estimate where to target moving vehicles to ensure a connection with the bullets. With the four cannons grouping so tightly, only a few rounds are needed to blow off an enemy aircraft's wing, eliminate a critical component (engine, compressor, fuel tank, pilot...etc...) and even take out ground units to include up to light armoured vehicles.<br />
<br />
=== Suspended armament ===<br />
<!--Describe the aircraft's suspended armament: additional cannons under the wings, bombs, rockets and torpedoes. This section is especially important for bombers and attackers. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.--><br />
<nowiki>{{main|FFAR Mighty Mouse|AIM-9B</nowiki><br />
<br />
The '''''F-100D''''' can carry the following suspended ordnance:<br />
<br />
* - 76 x FFAR Mighty Mouse unguided rockets<br />
* 4 x AIM-9B Sidewinder air-to-air missiles<br />
<br />
== Usage in battles ==<br />
<!--Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).--><br />
<br />
The F-100 truly shines when in an up-tier situation. Unlike the F4 Phantom II or the MiG-21, the F-100 is equipped with leading-edge slats. This gives it a much higher angle of attack at low speeds, allowing the F-100 to out-turn both the F4 and the MiG-21. However, at lower battle ratings, the F-100D is best at [[Boom & Zoom]] tactics. When fighting at a lower battle rating, the F-100 has some bad flying characteristics at low speeds which includes flying like a rock with wings. At high speeds, the F-100 is a breeze to fly because of its all-flying tail and boosted controls. It has a massive angle of attack, so once you get on someone's tail, there's pretty much no escape. Best way to use the F-100D is to start climbing. 5,000 meters is usually a good altitude to climb to. Since you can out-climb most subsonic aircraft in the game, Boom & Zoom tactics should be used. Climb high, make a pass, then climb away. Be extremely careful to not bleed energy and don't turn when subsonic planes are around, they will be able to outmanoeuvre the F-100D.<br />
<br />
Against the F-100's biggest foe, the MiG-19, turning isn't a bad idea if you keep your energy up. You bleed a lot of speed in a turn, so extreme pulls aren't recommended. The MiG-19 will rip easily at high speeds, something the F-100 doesn't have a problem with. However, the MiG-19 accelerates faster than the F-100D at all speeds and altitudes so it can slip away easily. In the best-case scenario, bait the MiG-19 for a teammate, as the MiG-19 can't do much against two F-100s.<br />
<br />
Overall to get this bus to perform, it must be at high speeds. Keep your energy up.<br />
<br />
=== Pros and cons ===<br />
<!--Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".--><br />
<br />
'''Pros:'''<br />
<br />
* Excellent guns that have both high muzzle velocity, rate of fire, plenty of ammo (200 RPG), and pack a good punch with high-explosive shells<br />
* Can carry FFAR Mighty Mouse unguided rockets<br />
* Its air to air missiles(AIM-9B) have a longer reach than the missiles on the MiG-19PT<br />
* Fast and out-accelerates both MiG-15 and MiG-17's<br />
<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
* Thoroughly unmanoeuvrable at slow speeds, and does absolutely not lend itself to traditional turning dogfights<br />
* Suffers from severe lockup past the Mach 1 mark<br />
* Bleeds a lot of energy when trying to turn around at high speed<br />
* While fast, it still accelerates a lot slower than MiG-19PT<br />
* Lacks many of the suspended armaments that the American F-100D has<br />
* Expensive modules<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
As the first “foreign” user of the F-100, France received eighty-eight F-100Ds and fourteen F-100Fs. The first plane landed on the Luxeuil base in winter 1958 and the last flight was made in December 1978 during a fire support mission to Djibouti.<br />
<br />
Developed by North American for the US Air Force, it was the first US Air Force aircraft able to reach a supersonic speed at level flight. It was the first aircraft in the "Century" series, a series of US Air Force supersonic fighters.<br />
[[File:F-100 D of 1-3 Navarre at landing in 1963.jpg|thumb|309x309px]]<br />
<br />
A total of 100 single and two-seater aircraft (85 F-100D and 15 F-100F) were delivered to France and assigned to the 4th NATO Allied Tactical AirForce. They were stationed on French bases in France and those in the French occupation zone in Germany. The F-100Ds (one-seater) were used for hunting and ground attack in Europe from various bases. The F-100F (two-seater) was used for pilot training and formation. In 1967, France left NATO and the aircraft based in Germany were transferred to France.<br />
<br />
The F-100 was the main fighter-bomber of the French Air Force in the 1960s, until it was replaced by the Jaguar.<br />
<br />
The Super-Sabers are said to have flown during combat missions, piloted from bases located in France against targets in Algeria. The planes were presented in Reims, the refueling was done in Istres on the return, but this is not really confirmed, there does not seem to be any evidence that F100s are posed or have been recognized in Algeria.<br />

== History ==<br />
at the end of 1953, Drawing lessons from the Korean War (1950-1953), the Air Force staff and the official services, concerned with the increase in weight and aircraft prices, write specifications for a light interceptor.<br />
<br />
the Air Force staff requests a light tactical support plane and armed fighter aircraft specially designed to operate in the vicinity of the line of fire and, in principle, at low altitude. This aircraft must be able to carry out a dual mission: to carry out ground attacks and to fight to ensure air superiority although aerial combat remains a secondary mission and, for safety reasons, to be twin-engine. The French Navy, for its part, wants to have a similar aircraft that can be loaded on its aircraft carriers.<br />
<br />
In 1955, the Technical Service of Aeronautics asked Dassault to study the embarkation of the Mystère XXIV (Étendard IV), to make it an "on-board assault and low-altitude fighter aircraft". The Étendard IV M on-board prototype is an attack and fighter aircraft at low and medium altitudes, usable from aircraft carriers of the Clemenceau class, equipped with the Snecma Atar 8 reactor with 4,400 kg of thrust.<br />
<br />
[[File:Étendard IVM and Super Étendard aboard Foch in 1983..jpg|thumb|332x332px]]<br />
The first Étendard IV M flies on May 21, 1958, in Melun-Villaroche, in the hands of Jean-Marie Saget. Five pre-series aircraft are produced. The performance and carrying capacity of external loads make the Étendard IV M an excellent assault aircraft, usable in secondary missions for interception and air combat, characteristics imposed by the French Navy. This order of 90 planes including 30 in photographic recognition version, Étendard IV P.<br />
<br />
Ordered in September 1959, the prototype n ° 07 which became Étendard IV P made its first flight on November 19, 1960. This version carries five OMERA cameras in the nose of the fuselage while the belly compartment can also be equipped with long focal length cameras instead of cannons. It has a non-retractable in-flight refueling pole.<br />
<br />
Between December 9, 1961 and May 26, 1965, the naval aviation received 69 Étendard IV M and 21 Étendard IV P. For the first time in its history, it reached transonic speeds. The Étendard IV M remained in active service in the French Navy until July 1991. They carried out in all 180,000 flight hours and 25,300 landings. The Étendard IV Ps remained in active service in the French Navy until July 27, 2000. They flew more than 200,000 hours.<br />
<br />
'''in his life, the Etendard was engaged :'''<br />
<br />
'''-''' In Lebanon, in 1983-1984: On September 23, 1983, an aircraft was hit at the tail by a surface-to-air missile 9K32 Strela-2, but managed to reach the aircraft carrier Foch without difficulty. Repaired, it flies four days later ;<br />
<br />
'''-''' In the former Yugoslavia from 1993 : On April 15, 1994, the Étendard IVP n °115, on a reconnaissance mission, was hit by a surface-to-air missile in Bosnia and Herzegovina over Gorazde. Without elevator, riddled with impacts, Lieutenant-Commander Pierre Clary achieves a piloting feat and, with the help of his teammate, he brings the plane back on board the Clemenceau after a deck-landing at a speed higher than normal. A television crew present on the aircraft carrier immortalizes the landing. The plane was repaired in the Cuers workshops and resumed flight a month and a half later ;<br />
<br />
'''-''' In Kosovo in 1999.<br />
