Usage in the battles
The F-84G-21-RE should be played as an aggressive BnZ plane, especially at the occasions where you get an airspawn. Meaning that as soon as you spawn in it, you turn to the direction of the enemy airfield to rush and reach 850+ km/h. Engage those who are climbing, there is also a chance of catching a few afk climbers too. After climbing to engage a climber, don't turn back to 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.
The F-84G's acceleration is one of the best at 7.7. It has a very good climb rate. It has got 6 x 12.7mm M3 machine guns with 1800 rounds of ammunition which is plenty. Turn rate is poor, avoid turn fighting in it. Roll rate is average without New Boosters, good with New Boosters.
