About
The F‑86F‑40 is a Japanese-built Sabre with extended wings and leading-edge slats, improving high- and low-speed agility. It’s a Tier 5, Level 9 jet capable of ~1,110 kph, equipped with six .50‑cal M3 machine guns and an optional AIM‑9B missile pair. You can also load rockets or bombs, though they impact its nimbleness
Playstyle
Use it as a classic boom-and-zoom turn fighter: climb, dive in with guns (or AIM‑9 when available), use airbrakes to hold optimal ~580 kph, then climb or reposition. Rockets and bombs work for ground attack, but slow performance down
