Description
The F-84B-26 Thunderjet is a Rank V American jet fighter
with a battle rating of 6.7 (AB), 7.0 (RB), and 7.7 (SB). It was introduced in Update 1.39.
General info
Flight Performance
Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

Survivability and armour
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.
Armaments
Offensive armament
The F-84B-26 uses 6 x high velocity .50 calibre machine guns. Default ammunition belts are recommended as they pack a good punch. Due to the nature of .50 calibre rounds, you will need a 1-2 second shot burst to down an enemy aircraft.
Suspended armament
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.
Usage in battles
The F-84B-26 can be used in two different ways to maximize efficiency:
- Boom and Run: Due to the F-84's good top speed, a good way to fight an enemy is to get up to a higher altitude and dive towards the enemy aircraft, then shoot and extend to stay out of weapons range. Once you extend, re-position yourself and repeat.
- Slice and Dice: Stick low and gain speed (preferably above 800 km/h), once the bowl forms (bowl is when a cluster of enemy planes form into one area) cut through the bowl selecting one target plane and take a shot followed by extending and repositioning.
Enemy worth noting- every single plane which is faster than you. A slow F-84 is a dead 84, stay fast.
Modules

| III | Wings Repair | Engine | New 12 mm MGs | FRC mk.7a | FMBC mk.1 | |

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Sufficient amount of ammo
- Excellent top speed in a straight line
- Decent acceleration leveled
- Above average roll rate at higher speeds
Cons:
- Terrible turn rate
- Lose a lot of speed in turns
- Need a solid 1-2 second burst to down an enemy
- Engine suffers greatly at high altitudes
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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.
External links
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- encyclopedia page on the aircraft;
- other literature.
