Description
The ␗F-100F Super Sabre, colloquially known as the 超級軍刀機 (Super Sabre jet), was the twin-seater variant of the F-100 and the first supersonic jet in ROCAF service, serving until 1984. These jets were mostly identical to USAF variants minus INS for SEAD capabilities (the F-100F was also the first Wild Weasel jet). During the 2nd Taiwan Strait Crisis in August 1958, the USAF transferred six F-100Fs to the ROCAF under the Military Aid Program (MAP), with four more jets by September. Due to the arrival of the F-104 to the ROCAF in the 1960s and the lack of major aerial combat between the ROCAF and PLAAF, the F-100Fs usually served as trainers, CAP, and ground attackers. However, due to a transporter crash in 1979 that cost almost all the F-100 engineers in ROCAF and consecutive crashes involving the fleet of F-100s, they were soon phased out with the last squadron them until 1984, replaced by later series F-104Gs or AIDC-assembled F-5Es.
Introduced during Update "Sons of Attila" as a reward for the 2023 Tokushu Heiki event, the F-100F extends its combat capability over the preceding F-100A thanks to its better payload for ground attack. While it can cause extensive damage to ground targets, be sure to take extra caution against enemy jets, as most supersonic jets of its tier will not have a hard time taking down the F-100F. Even though two cannons were removed from the nose, the ballistic performance of the M39 and up to four AIM-9Es ensures that it still has the chance to turn the tides with its somewhat good AoA that is traded with its speed.
General info
Flight performance
Aside from the rear-seat, the F-100F looks mostly identical to any other F-100 series in the game, especially with its signature "catfish" intake. However, it handles quite differently from the tech-tree F-100A, especially due to its weight - the F variant adds a rear seat for the weapons officer, therefore the weight of the extra pilot and extended cockpit should be considered as well.
The F-100F has a very hard time following the path of its arch enemy, the MiG-19, in a dogfight. However, due to its larger wings, the F-100F is able to pull greater AoA at low-medium speeds, though at the cost of a significant amount of energy, which may allow it to come out on top if used to its advantage in key situations.

Survivability and armour

Jets at the dawn of the supersonic era still have some extent of protection for the pilot despite the abundance of heavy autocannons on Warsaw-Pact aircraft. The protection of F-100F is mostly identical to other the F-100 series, other than having additional protection for the Weapon System Officer (aka rear-pilot).

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).
Radars
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Weapon System Officer (WSO; or rear-pilot) has access to aircraft control for last-ditch retaliation
- Higher and more extensive payload for multirole operations than F-100 series including (wing-mounted) chaffs
- Good ballistics for the M39 autocannon
- RWR for better situational awareness at its BR
Cons:
- Heavier airframe than earlier F-100 series thus less manoeuvrable
- Lacks a pair of autocannons compared to the previous F-100 series
- Control surfaces lock up at supersonic speeds
- Any manoeuvres will severely bleed energy
- Lacks ballistic computer for precise ground attack
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).
