Changes: F-86L SabreJet

Revision as of 08:22, 22 April 2019

The North American F-86 Sabre is a famous North American transonic fighter craft; it was America's first swept-wing fighter to counter the deadly MiG-15, and fought in some of the earliest jet-to-jet battles in history. Its most notable contribution was in the Korean War, where it proved to be a valuable asset. Even beyond it growing obsolete, it proved an incredibly versatile craft, surviving up to 1994 in certain countries like Bolivia. The F-86L is an alternate version of the F-86D, with new electronics, altered wings, a revised cockpit, and an upgraded engine. This aircraft only appears in Airforce Delta Strike, where it is usable by Jamie Jones, should he make the decision to use it.

Design

The F-86 is a simple looking jet; a single-engine setup with a holed nose air intake, two moderately long swept wings, and a single vertical stabilizer punctuated by air intakes. It can fire rockets out of a small hatch under the air intake.

Performance

Jamie's only craft that can use homing weapons... And it's odd. It's a special weapon of all things, meaning it must be purchased. Outside of that, the rocket weapon is another awkward "burst fire" type weapon, meaning it's fairly confusing to aim properly. Not only that, but it's Jamie's least maneuverable fighter out of all of them. So, it's unique for being a jet plane that Jamie can use... But sadly, it's fairly lacking regardless.
