F-86F-2 Sabre

The F‑86F‑2 is a modified Sabre armed with four high-rate-of-fire 20 mm T‑160 cannons (Project Gunval). It retains everything else from the F‑86F models but trades six .50 cal MGs for heavier firepower

Playstyle

Climb to altitude, then use boom‑and‑zoom tactics. The cannons hit hard but burn ammo fast—manage burst length carefully. You can lower speed with airbrakes for sharper turns, but generally stay in energy fights

Pros and Cons

Pros
➕ Devastating cannon firepower
➕ Good energy retention for Tier 5
➕ Excellent roll rate

Cons
➖ Ammo depletes rapidly due to high cannons’ fire rate
➖ Turn rate is slower than earlier Sabre models
