The first F-84s operating under the command of the Israeli Air Force flew during the 1956 Suez Crisis. Three French air squadrons were deployed to Israel in order to help in the invasion of the Suez peninsula, but these aircraft were painted with IAF colours in order to mask French involvement in the war.
This aircraft was introduced in Update "Wind of Change" and it is a very good strike aircraft. While it doesn't have the best flight performance, electronics or offensive weapons, it compensates this with good versatility. With its CCRP for bombs, it's capable of destroying bases and static ground targets with precision. As a strike aircraft, it gets an air spawn, making it one of the firsts in the battle, and would almost always reach bases if it's trying to go for a bomb run. After releasing its payload however, the F-84F has decent manoeuvrability and its 6 x 12.7mm HMGs make it a dangerous opponent in head-ons.
