For this aircraft, there are choices between 250, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 lb bombs. Furthermore, the aircraft received air brakes under the aft of the fuselage, making dive bombing and landing easier. Fj4B has 2 less guns, sure, but Only difference for the Attack aspect is that is has options for 2 extra hardpoints ( totalling 6) and the LABS system for Toss bombing tactical Nukes .aka Special Stores also left out for obvious balance reasons like the F84G. Bomb load-outs range from using 250, 500, 1,000 or 2,000 lb bombs effectively targeting from vehicles and pillboxes all the way up to bases. While not a 100% guarantee to destroy an enemy aircraft after fired, they will usually cause the pilot immediately take evasive manoeuvres which at times may include energy haemorrhaging turns which may set up the aircraft an easy target for the FJ-4’s autocannons. [Devblog] AGM-12B Bullpup: They can’t dodge, https://wiki.warthunder.com/index.php?title=FJ-4B_VMF-232&oldid=67736.

Of the original order for 221 FJ-4 Fury interceptors, the last 71 were modified into the FJ-4B fighter-bomber version. The FJ-4B may be armed with a great variety of bombs - 5x250lbs, 5x500 lbs, 2x1000 lbs, and 114 Hydran-70 unguided rockets. While initially built for the Navy, this fighter saw most of its action with the US Marines and thus needed to be a multi-role aircraft which could combat both air and ground targets in support of US Marine operations. When base attacking, it is best to utilise the 1,000 and 2,000 lb bombs. Try to fly as low as possible to avoid being detected by the enemy. 60 mm Bulletproof glass in front of the pilot. < > Showing 1-12 of 12 comments .

Additionally, a more powerful Wright J65-W-16A engine, producing 7,700 lbf of thrust, was installed on the production versions. #warthuder #live_wt #workshop North American FJ-4 Fury VMF-232 Red Devils Both the interceptor and fighter-bomber version of the FJ-4 served with the Navy and USMC until the early 1960s, before being phased out of active service and moved to the Naval Air Reserve. The clustering of the four cannons allows for some serious damage to be inflicted especially if it connects with critical components such as an engine, oil/water cooler, pilot, control surfaces or even a wing. The FJ-4 was the fourth modification of the Fury - the naval version of the F-86 Sabre, serving primarily with the USMC. ver1.79アップデートにて実装された、アメリカ空ツリーのランクVIジェット艦上戦闘機。名目上は戦闘機だが、本機は攻撃機型に改修された機体であるため爆弾やロケット弾等の爆装が豊富であ … To achieve the range increase, the aircraft underwent several structural changes which reduced its weight and allowed for additional fuel tanks to be installed. Due to the nature of this aircraft and the reduced ammunition load, the pilot must make every shot count or else they will be frequently waiting for a reload or heading back to base to reload. with a battle rating of 9.0 (AB/SB) and 8.7 (RB).

Even with modifications, the aircraft was unfit for carrier duty and was passed onto the US Marines for land-based duty. FFAR Mighty Mouse rockets make short work of ground targets, but also can be deadly against any of the bomber aircraft it may intercept.

If attacked by enemy aircraft, turn into your opponent as this will not give them a firing solution. Modifications were needed to make it aircraft carrier ready to include a stronger nose-wheel strut, all-moving flying tail without dihedral, outer wing panels folded upward and the windscreen was modified to aid the pilot’s visibility on approach for landing on the carrier. Of the original order for 221 FJ-4 Fury interceptors, the last 71 were modified into the FJ-4B fighter-bomber version.

The FJ-4B is not a very fast aircraft, at most you will see 880 kph at sea level. The FJ-4B VMF-232 can be outfitted with the following ordnance: In battle, you are a support aircraft or a ground attack aircraft. Both the interceptor and fighter-bomber version of the FJ-4 served with the Navy and USMC until the early 1960s, before being phased out of active service and moved to the Naval Air Reserve.

Examine the survivability of the aircraft. All rights reserved. These missiles were the missiles of choice for pilots in the Vietnam War as they had a higher rate of success compared to the Sparrow and other missiles used.

The FJ-4 was the last modification of the Fury and among the last mass-produced variants of the Sabre lineage. These missiles were the missiles of choice for pilots in the Vietnam War as they had a higher rate of success compared to the Sparrow and other missiles used. The choice of bombs to be used depends on the map being played and the targets available on that map.

In the early 1950s, the US Navy realized during the Korean War that their straight-wing fighters were vastly inferior to the swept-wing MiG 15s they flew against. While initially built for the Navy, this fighter saw most of its action with the US Marines and thus needed to be a multi-role aircraft which could combat both air and ground targets in support of US Marine operations.

FFAR Mighty Mouse rockets make short work of ground targets, but also can be deadly against any of the bomber aircraft it may intercept. Fighter aircraft were flying much faster than aircraft a few years earlier and needed to have more manoeuvrability than ever before, one way to do this was to remove the guns from the wings and mount them in the fuselage. Since the rockets are unguided, the pilot will typically need to fire off a salvo (+5) of rockets to chance at least one hits the target, however, due to the situation, it would not be improper to fire off 10 or more to ensure a hit.
