Pros and cons

Pros:

• Second highest top speed in jets
• Higher top speed possible than F-100D above 6,500 m
• Incredibly high rate of climb
• Hard-hitting guns, Low recoil effects due to wing root placement
• Moderate energy retention
• Roll rate superior to the MiG-17

Cons:

• Bad Rudder, making it difficult to aim at a target at high speeds
• Compression at high speed, your wing don't provide the lift as high as the Super Sabre
• Difficult to land, suggest don't use landing flap when going for a touchdown to allow the nose to retain some control
• Wings can rip when rolling and turning at high speed
• No bomb load
• Only two air-to-air missiles, Locking range is 0.5 km less than that of the AIM-9B on F-100D
• Moderate speed acceleration will have a hard time with an enemy at your six keep bleeding your energy and biting on you
• Poor low-speed manoeuvrability
• Ventral fin will impact the ground during takeoff if the rotation is prematurely initiated resulting in the tail breaking off

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ historical reference" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Name-vehicles/historical reference) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to include links to sources at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
