Survivability and armour
- 38 mm Bulletproof glass in front of pilot.
- 6.35 mm Steel plates behind pilot.
- 3 mm Steel plates on fuselage top in front of cockpit.
- 3 mm Steel plate on top front of oil cooling system.
- 3 mm Steel plates on bottom of engine.
Armaments
Offensive armament
The F6F-5N (France) is armed with:
- 2 x 20 mm AN/M2 cannons, wing-mounted (231 rpg = 462 total)
- 4 x 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine guns, wing-mounted (400 rpg = 1,600 total)
The four machine guns and both cannons are arranged in bundles of two machine guns and one cannon mounted in each wing. Each cannon is armed with the same amount of ammo and the machine guns are each armed with the same amount of machine gun ammo, which means that all guns of each type will will fire with each other until empty (however if fired in unison, the cannons will run out of ammo before the machine guns will).
Suspended armament
The F6F-5N (France) can be outfitted with the following ordinance:
- Without load
- 6 x HVAR rockets
- 2 x Tiny Tim rockets
- 2 x 1000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs
- 6 x HVAR rockets + 2 x 1000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs
- 1 x 2216 lb Mk.13/44 torpedo
Usage in battles
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 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).
Radars
The F6F-5N is equipped with an AN/APS-6 search and tracking radar. The radar is mounted in a pod under the right wing tip.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Has cannons
- High ammo count
- Sturdy
- Great payload options with rockets and bombs like the normal F6F-5
- Has both search and tracking radar
Cons:
- Slightly worse flight characteristics than F6F-5 while at a higher battle rating
- Heavy aircraft plus ordinance poses challenges in climbing
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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>
, as well as adding them at the end of the article. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === Encyclopedia Info ===
, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
See also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the aircraft;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
