Description

The Super Mystere B2 Sambad is a rank VI Israeli jet fighter with a battle rating of 9.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Winged Lions". It is a copy of the Super Mystère B2 found in the French tree, Israel having purchased them in 1958. It was both the Israeli Air Force's first supersonic fighter and afterburning jet.

The Sambad flies in a similar manner to the preceding Mystere IVA, with excellent AOA at low airspeeds, behaving similarly to later delta-winged designs. This allows it to shed off energy and allow pilots to force aircraft that are on their tail to overshoot; however, this can allow the Sambad to be easily trapped in a low energy state, and the poor acceleration will not be able to save the pilot. Unlike the Mystere, the Sambad compresses at higher airspeeds (usually above 900 km/h), restricting it to around 8-10 Gs of pull. This allows the Sambad to maintain energy and maintain higher airspeeds, and pilots are advised to use this to their advantage. This can make up for the lacklustre acceleration at the lower end of performance, allowing pilots to bleed the speed of opposing aircraft whilst keeping their own speed high. The roll rate is average, better than the MiG-17 but below that of the Sabres, and pilots should be able to evade shots easily in most cases.

Armour layout of the Israeli Sambad

The Sambad is protected by several layers of steel and bulletproof glass, both in front and behind the pilot. The front windshield is a 40 mm bulletproof glass pane, angled at 61°, this is enough to stop rifle-calibre rounds and massively reduce the velocity of heavy machine guns such as the .50 cal M3 Browning. This will provide partial protection in head-on attacks, however pilots should not rely on this to protect the pilot as concentrated fire will overwhelm it. The pilot is also protected by three 14 mm sheets of armour, two behind and one slightly ahead of the windshield. The fuel tanks are all self-sealing, and take the space directly ahead of the engine and most of the wing between the spars.

As the Sambad is an Air Supremacy fighter, performance and air-to-air missiles should be the pilot's top priority. Compressor should be the first modification chosen, as the acceleration for a non-upgraded plane is subpar for the rank. It is also recommended to research the Matra Type 61 modification, as it is needed to gain access to the Shafrir air-to-air missile at tier IV. Next, it is recommended to research New boosters and the Matra Type 116 rocket modification. The Sambad feels slightly sluggish without boosters and compresses at high speed, boosters help to correct that. At tier III, Wings repair and Engine are next recommended; this will decrease the drag of the wings and increase the engine's thrust, greatly helping performance. Once these two modifications are unlocked, pilots can then research the Shafrir missile, allowing its use against faster or unaware aircraft. At this stage the pilot can then research Cover, G-suit, Airframe, and Fuselage repair. This will grant the full performance of the aircraft, and the pilot can then research the other modifications, namely Offensive 30 mm, New 30 mm cannons, and the 100, 250 and 500 kg bomb modifications.

Armaments

Offensive armament

Main article: DEFA 552 (30 mm)

The Sambad is armed with:

  • 2 x 30 mm DEFA 552 cannons, chin-mounted (150 rpg = 300 total)

Suspended armament

Main articles: Shafrir, SNEB type 23, T10 151

The Sambad can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

  • Without load
  • 2 x Shafrir missiles
  • 8 x 100/50 kg G.P. bombs (800 kg total)
  • 2 x 250/50 kg G.P. bombs (500 kg total)
  • 2 x 500/50 kg G.P. bombs (1,000 kg total)
  • 12 x T10 151 rockets
  • 38 x SNEB type 23 rockets

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Powerful gun armament will have no trouble destroying other planes
  • Good variety of payload options
  • Has access to a pair of Shafrir AAMs
  • Equipped with a drogue chute to aid with braking during landings
  • Better high-speed acceleration than a lot of its contemporaries thanks to its afterburner
  • Fuselage-mounted SNEB rockets are very accurate; good for ground-attack

Cons:

  • Not very good vertical energy retention
  • Bad stock performance
  • Mediocre low-speed acceleration, even with the afterburner
  • Can face faster opponents when uptiered

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 long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
