F-86A-5 Sabre

Info
The F-86 A-5 Sabre is without a doubt one of the greatest war planes known today. The F-86 A-5 costs 2.6 million or 2,600 medals. It is a top tier jet fighter equiped with .50 cals.

Statistics
The Sabre has an armament of 6 M3 Browning .50 cals with 1800 rounds of ammunition. The Sabre is able to reach 1,100 kph in a shallow dive of -10 degrees. It turns extrememly well at top speeds, best speeds for dogfighting is around 750+ kph. The rate of climb is pretty good for its tier, 38m/s is good to use to your advantage. The turn rate is above average at around 23.2 s.

How to Play
The Sabre can be played aggresively and used as a dogfighter. The only jets able to catch you are the Swift, Hunter, F2 Sabres, MiG 15s and 17s. You can spray the M3 brownings, although you do average damage. Its best to aim for wings, as the 50 cals can do a decent amount of damage on wings. You can use the Sabre as a boom and zoom, although this is impractical against the much faster MiG 17s. Keep your speed up to ensure a good turnrate.

How to Counter
The Sabre is a tricky oppenent to counter, specially without MiGs. Its best to try to stall a Sabre as they recover rather slow from stalls. If you have a more manuverable fighter, you can force the Sabre into a vertical (a turnfight that rises in altitude, using your engine to your advantage) although this tactic really works using Sabres and MiGs. Stay out of the gunsights and bleed their speed to ensure victory.
