The F-84G-21-RE should be played as an aggressive Boom & Zoom fighter, especially at the occasions where you get an air-spawn. 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 unaware 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 back up, complete a vertical loop then rinse and repeat.

Survivability and armour

  • 6.35 mm Steel - in front of the pilot
  • 8 mm Steel - behind the pilot
  • 6.35 mm Steel - pilot's headrest

Armaments

Offensive armament

Main article: Browning M3 (12.7 mm)

The F-84G-26-RE (France) is armed with:

  • 6 x 12.7 M3 Browning machine guns(300 rpg = 1800 total)

The six machine guns are arranged two groups, four mounted in the nose of the aircraft and the other two located with one near each wing root. Each is armed with the same amount of ammunition, which means that all guns will fire with each other until empty.

Suspended armament

Main articles: HVAR, Tiny Tim

The F-84G-26-RE (France) can be outfitted with the following ordinance:

  • Without load
  • 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)
  • 2 x Tiny Tim rockets & 24 x HVAR rockets

Usage in the battles

The F-84G-26-RE should be played as an aggressive Boom & Zoom fighter, especially at the occasions where you get an air-spawn. 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 unaware 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 back up, complete a vertical loop then rinse and repeat.

The F-84G's acceleration is one of the best at its battle rating. It has a very good climb rate. It has got 6 x 12.7mm M3 machine guns with 1,800 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.

Pros and cons

Summarize and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Do not use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - they have a substitution in the form of softer "inadequate", "effective".

Pros:

  • Very high top speed for an early jet
  • Can carry large amounts of payloads
  • Wide variety of secondary armament (bombs, rockets)
  • 6 x 12.7 mm M3 machine guns
  • Very good acceleration for an early jet, even stock

Cons:

  • Not good at turning
  • May rip if pulled hard enough
  • Roll rate is average without New Boosters
  • Engine overheating

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.

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.
