General information

The F-100F (China), colloquially known as the 超級軍刀機 (Super Sabre jet), was the twin-seater variant of the F-100 and the first supersonic jet in ROCAF service, serving until 1984. These jets were mostly identical to USAF variants minus INS for SEAD capabilities (the F-100F was also the first Wild Weasel jet). During the 2nd Taiwan Strait Crisis in August 1958, the USAF transferred six F-100Fs to the ROCAF under the Military Aid Program (MAP), with four more jets by September. Due to the arrival of the F-104 to the ROCAF in the 1960s and the lack of major aerial combat between the ROCAF and PLAAF, the F-100Fs usually served as trainers, CAP, and ground attackers. However, due to a transporter crash in 1979 that cost almost all the F-100 engineers in ROCAF and consecutive crashes involving the fleet of F-100s, they were soon phased out with the last squadron them until 1984, replaced by later series F-104Gs or AIDC-assembled F-5Es.

Introduced during Update "Sons of Attila" as a reward for the 2023 Tokushu Heiki event, the F-100F extends its combat capability over the preceding F-100A thanks to its better payload for ground attack. While it can cause extensive damage to ground targets, be sure to take extra caution against enemy jets, as most supersonic jets of its tier will not have a hard time taking down the F-100F. Even though two cannons were removed from the nose, the ballistic performance of the M39 and up to four AIM-9Es ensures that it still has the chance to turn the tides with its somewhat good AoA that is traded with its speed.
