About
The Cougar is the U.S. Navy’s early swept-wing jet fighter. It’s a stronger, faster successor to the Panther—with one engine, four 20 mm cannons, and optional bombs or drop tanks.
Playstyle
It works best as an energy fighter: climb to altitude, then use its decent speed and guns to engage. It handles like other early U.S. jets—solid for its tier, but gets outclassed by better planes.
