Yes. I spaded it in the last month.
It would be very fun if goes to 7.7. This jet outspeeds every <=8.3 (or even 8.7 or 9.0) jet and I love letting people chasing me around the map for the whole battle. People are always greedy when they see an attacker or bomber :)
Ye it does, the CCRP is the only reason to not toss it.
There’s plenty of faster planes at its BR, that also have usable acceleration and turning. Just use those.
It is so unbelievably stupid that I can play the non US F-84F and just be flying over a base on my side of the map and have a US one that got an air-spawn to instantly shred me after bombing the base because I have zero chance to defend myself against it since it got an air-spawn and has so much more energy. It is hands down one of the absolute worst aircraft in the whole game and Gaijin just refuses to do anything to make it consistent with the US one or even a viable aircraft to bring. The fact that I face things at the same BR as it with infinitely better guns, turning, energy, and speed is so insanely stupid. Add to that the fact that it regularly faces things like the F-104 and other afterburners with missiles only makes it worse. It really seems like they just hate this aircraft.

Despite already talking about this I came up with ANOTHER horrid reason why the non US F-84 is a worthless jet compared to the US one, an already awful aircraft. It’s so close in BR to the Alpha Jet, something that outclasses it in every regard other than total payload and top speed which hardly means anything in Air RB when you cant even get to a place where you can use it. But the part that was truly horrid was the fact that I had to take off from a high altitude map in the F-84F, this being the map Pyrenees. This of course does not effect the US one that gets air-spawn and a massive advantage over the non US ones. I had a low end load, not even one that can take out a base, for hitting ground targets. I STRUGGLED to gain any speed and altitude to get over the mountains even with a low end load. While the rest of my team were already fighting and hitting targets I was still barely away from the airfield. So much of this aircraft’s problems would be solved if it was just consistent with the US one as all of them should get an air-spawn. It would still be a horrible aircraft to play and be easy picking for the enemy but at least it would be viable for hitting a base and just dying trying to get close to even ground AI.
