F101 without missiles is another F86 USAF doesn't need

This should get moved to 9.0

MiG-19S is at 9.0, and this is the closest analogue

and so far the AIM-54 has been buffed and the R-77 has not. And the AIM-54 received far more extensive buffs then the variable motor thrust pressure that is planed for other missiles, which is not a straight buff as it also means it will reduce thrust at lower altitude.
So like I said, people are inventing a R-77 buff that dose not exist in order to complain about it.
If I am wrong and there is a R-77 buff then please link it, because I have been unable to find and would like to see it.

They added it cause there’s a noticeable BR gap between the F-80 and the F-104, YET IT’S AT THE SAME BR AS THE F-104. Absolutely peak Gajin moment.

Good thing I’ve always preferred hard mode

Once again, War Thunder adding a useless vehicle that does not change the game in any way or make it anymore fun.

They nerfed F104A now A & C are 9.7 BR, hey that’s fair right? (not) 😑🐌

Hey, then that means there’s still a BR gap, where you could put another plane in. I would actually like an Aim-4 only F-101 variant at a lower BR. Go up, have someone stall for you, and when they can’t maneuver, hit em with either type of Aim-4. I did this plenty of times in the F-106.
It would take them 5 minutes to make such a copy paste variant.

It’s 9.3 buddy

The Aim-4s have really good high speed G pull, so if your target only pulls up and doesn’t roll, it’s fairly consistent. I think it would be better than people think it will due to the slower planes it would face if it were 9.0 or 8.7.

whys it got -1 FPS bro
