Usage in battles

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).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Can carry four useful air-to-air missiles
    • AIM-9C air-to-air missiles can be launched in head-ons to surprise opponents
    • AIM-9D air-to-air missiles have above average range (around 3 km)
  • Landing flaps activate its variable-incidence wings, which provides a lot of lift
  • Very good sustained turn rate
  • Has a widely increased array of suspended ordnance (mostly consisting of air-to-ground loadouts) compared to the previous F8U-2

Cons:

  • Fragile wings which can easily rip at high speeds and in high-G turns
  • Very likely to set on fire because of the fuel tank placement
  • Lacks RWR, which is a major disadvantage as it frequently encounters opponents equipped with SARH missiles

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
