This thing is underrated for GRB. Counts as a fighter but carries a 3k lb bomb that can quickly get a double on enemies capping a base. I got a 8km 7C kill on a climbing propeller plane once too lol. The guns are amazing but the biggest downside is no flares and a bad speed bleed if you try to dodge missiles. The main 2 things on this plane to know are. 1. Don't try to lock with the ACM mode 2. It's easier for radar to pick up people above you and avoid ground clutter.

[@RedTail1-1]

Or don't use the radar at all because you shouldn't be carrying the Aim-7C lol...

[@FishFlys]

@@Samulater_well it’s not actually longer range, it’s just useable from further out headon since the target is moving towards the missile, but it has less potential energy than a 9b so rear aspect even with a lock the 9b will travel further and give no warning

[@artruisjoew5473]

@@RedTail1-1oh you must be new. Back when reaper drones were a thing at 9.0ish GRB this thing was the only thing in the game that could reliably deal with drones. Simply spawn this thing and the enemy teams drones essentially becomes a none issue.

[@aegis027]

One other thing to point out, the Demon is, well, actually a demon in very low speed rate fights. The flaps are leading edge, and give you so much lift and AoA at speeds where most other jets will be falling out of the air. You'll just sit there at 300 kph and be able to point your nose just about anywhere you want except straight up. This is obviously not a good idea when there's any risk of being third partied, but it gives you the option to fully commit to a 1v1 where you/'re able to bleed the speed of your opponent. If they keep turning, they'll eventually be forced to break off when they run out of lift, making them an easy target for an AIM-9B.

[@ashleyhamman]

I feel like the F3H is a bit of a mismatched aircraft. Compared to its contemporaries it's pretty slow, yet the armament and airfoils are that of a plane that seeks to master high altitudes. It's great with dogfights, but it operates in a region where that's less of the focus. In a way, I could imagine an alternate history where the F11 and F3H swap wings and armaments and are better planes as a result, as cursed as they might look.

[@Loudward__]

Wow look BR changes being negative for the game? Decompressing by decompressing at a higher BR? Not moving the planes that have caused the issue? Where have I seen THAT before.

The F3H is hardly an issue at 9.0. The sparrow is a gimmick at best, if not straight up dead weight. They are only a serious threat to bombers and AFK climbers. The flight performance is not that stellar either.

Did you ever tried the vautour's matra 511?

The reason why the F-16A lacked AIM-7 in real life is because the light weight fighter mafia realized that the radar seeker technology wasn't mature yet, so it was better not to waste money to carry them.
