Gaijin Please

This is the section where I lay out the various vehicles I'd like to see in War Thunder some day. With any luck, this section will shrink in the future.

FH-1 Phantom

F2H-3 Banshee

First delivered:	1952
Crew:	1 (Pilot)
Empty weight:	13,183 lb (5,980 kg)
Powerplant:	2 × Westinghouse J34-WE-34 turbojets, 3,250 lbf (14.46 kN) each

Maximum speed:	580 mph (933 km/h) at sea level M 0.762
Service ceiling:	46,600 ft (14,205 m)
Climb rate:	100 ft/s (30 m/s) from sea level
Wing loading:
Power-to-mass ratio:

Armament

Guns:	4 × 20 mm (0.79 in) Colt Mk 16 cannon
Ammunition load:	940 total rounds 220 rounds/gun (upper pair) 250 rounds/gun (lower pair)
Payload:	8 × 60 lb High Explosive rockets; or 2 × 60 lb HE rockets and 6 × 500 lb bombs
Missiles:	2 × AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles (only in RCN service)

Differences from the F2H-2 variant in game? Lengthened fuselage, enlarged nose, redesigned tail, increased fuel capacity, and eight underwing weapons pylons for a 3,000 lb bomb payload, as opposed to the 4 x 250 lb or 2 x 500 lb bombloads of the F2H-2. Armed with 4 x Colt Mk 16 cannons (similar to the cannons on the FJ-4B), as opposed to the AN/M3s of the F2H-2. This plane would be an amazing ground attacker. Would love to see it foldered with the F2H‑2.

F3D-2

• Developed from the F3D-1, featuring better engines, wing spoilers, autopilot, and an improved AN/APQ-36 radar.

I'd love to see the F3D-2 added in a folder with the F3D-1. The F3D-1 is a little sluggish, and I feel like the extra ~273 kfg from the Westinghouse J34-WE-38 engines would make the Skynight more viable.

A-6 Intruder

A-6A

1963

A-6E

AV-8B Harrier II

F-101A Voodoo

Basic Stats

Introduction year:	1957
Crew:	1 (Pilot)
Empty weight:	24,970 lb (11,326 kg)
Powerplant:	2 × Pratt & Whitney J57-P-13 turbojets 10,200 lbf, dry 15,800 lbf, afterburning

Performance

Maximum speed:	1,009 mph (1,162 km/h) at 35,000 ft M 1.52
Service ceiling:	50,300 ft (15,000 m)
Initial climb rate:	735 ft/s (224 m/s)
Wing loading:	__ lb/ft²
Thrust/weight:	0.80

Armament

Guns:	4 × 20 mm (0.79 in) M39 cannons
Ammunition load:	800 total rounds 200 rounds/gun

While the F‑101 Voodoo was designed to carry nuclear payloads in real life, I feel that the cannon-equipped F‑101A would make a fun supersonic jet for War Thunder. Unfortunately, the F‑101A would lack any payload options as none were fitted historically. This would make the F‑101A a dedicated fighter within the confines of the game.
