Armaments
Offensive armament
The F-84G-21-RE (Italy) is armed with:
- 4 x 12.7 mm Browning M3 machine guns, nose-mounted (300 rpg = 1,200 total)
- 2 x 12.7 mm Browning M3 machine guns, wing-mounted (300 rpg = 600 total)
Suspended armament
The F-84G-21-RE (Italy) can be outfitted with the following ordinance:
- 2 x 100 lb AN-M30A1 bombs (200 lb total)
- 2 x 250 lb AN-M57 bombs (500 lb total)
- 2 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs (1,000 lb total)
- 2 x 1,000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs (2,000 lb total)
- 24 x HVAR rockets
- 32 x HVAR rockets
- 24 x HVAR rockets + 2 x 100 lb AN-M30A1 bombs (200 lb total)
- 24 x HVAR rockets + 2 x 250 lb AN-M57 bombs (500 lb total)
- 24 x HVAR rockets + 2 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs (1,000 lb total)
- 24 x HVAR rockets + 2 x 1,000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs (2,000 lb total)
- 24 x HVAR rockets + 2 x Tiny Tim rockets
Usage in the battles
The F-84G-21-RE should be played as an aggressive Boom & Zoom aircraft. Meaning that as soon as you spawn in it, you turn to the direction of the enemy airfield to rush and reach 850+ kph. Engage those who are climbing, there is also a chance of catching a few away-from-keyboard climbers too. After climbing to engage an enemy at altitude, do not turn back to follow them if they evade. Continue zoom climbing, do a vertical loop and maintain level flight to gain a little bit more speed. After that, the only way you're supposed to fly against enemies is by diving, engaging, zooming up, vertical loop then rinse and repeat.

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ historical reference" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Name-vehicles/historical reference) and add a link to it here using the main template.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