Armaments

Offensive armament

Main article: Browning M3 (12.7 mm)

The D.371 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 the other two located with one near each wing root. Each are armed with the same amount of ammunition, which means that all guns will fire with each other until empty.

Suspended armament

Main articles: Bombs, Rockets


The F-84G-26-RE (France) can be externally loaded with:

  • Without load
  • 2 x 100 lb AN-M30A1 bombs
  • 2 x 250 lb AN-M57 bombs
  • 2 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs
  • 2 x 1,000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs
  • 24 x HVAR rockets
  • 32 x HVAR rockets
  • 24 x HVAR rockets & 2 x 100 lb AN-M30A1 bombs
  • 24 x HVAR rockets & 2 x 250 lb AN-M57 bombs

  • 24 x HVAR rockets & 2 x 1,000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs
  • 2 x Tiny Tim rockets & 24 x HVAR rockets

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.

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 12.7mm 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.
