  • The F9F-8 Cougar is one of my favourite jets in the US tech tree in War Thunder. It may not be the best dogfighter, but it is an EXCELLENT support aircraft, being well armed with four 20mm M3 cannons and four Aim9b missiles, it packs a punch!
    As it was never designed as an air-superiority fighter it is recommended to not engage combat fighters such as the Mig 15 or 17 in a one-on-one engagement, they will outmanoeuvre you. If you do find yourself in an engagement with these foes, rely on good defensive tactics, the Cougar has an excellent airbrake, use it!

    It's my favorite plane for bullying IL-28 zombers.
    Once went 35/2 in it.
    my favorite things was when they tried to swap to a TU-4, and I still manage to get a lock because of how much thermal mass it has.

    the cougar is almost broken, it's extremely cheap to get and it allows a noob like me to get kills. I'm finding it much, MUCH harder to play the russians because I dont have missiles there and I can only rely on my 8very low) skill to get kills. The cougar for me is always a joy to fly in sim, even if it sucks in a proper 1v1.

    Gaijin was so nice to supply the R.C.A.F. 416th Lynx Squadron camo for the F9F-8. So of course that is the camo I use. Or, like yesterday, you get to play with our group at 7 am your time.

    I like to troll people on this plane. My online persona is kind of a douchey guy. So I say at the beginning of the match that this thing is OP sarcastically and that gaijin should nerf. This usually sways the discussion into the opposite opinion. I proceed to climb appropriately and fly above furballs, where if im lucky, get 1 or 2 kills, maybe 3 if they are slow n low. If I get on top of the leaderboard I reiterate that this thing is OP. I like to see mig 17 pilots reaction to this and they often are very very salty. I love flying this underdog. I must have around a k/d of 1.7 which is pretty damn decent.

    I was so happy to brag about my Canadian, 416th Squadron Lynx camo I forgot to mention: Imagine my surprise, when I found the F9F 8 could not catch an IL28sh. The IL28sh, had not dropped its bomb load yet, but its boosters are good enough I could never catch it. I should note, I did not have missiles on to slow me down. That was both a surprise and and disappointment.

      @TeaRexChannel  3 роки тому +1

      I have not logged a single RB game in it, though I imagine it would suffer in a full uptier quite badly. That being said it has 4 AAMs so at its own tier it would be decent enough.
