The American F-100D Super Sabre supersonic turbo-jet fighter was developed as a fighter-bomber, so in addition to breathtaking speeds, it also features a rich assortment of suspended weaponry. It’s arguably the best American aircraft in the game!
In short: it’s an American supersonic fighter developed for assault and bombing strikes against ground targets. It features unsurpassed speed, 20mm guns with a high rate of fire, and a massive arsenal of guided and unguided weapons.
By the mid-50s,`jet aircraft had become robust machines which had obtained sufficient combat experience for the next step into a fundamentally new age: the era of supersonic speed. Supersonic fighters were developed by both of the main opposing nations of the Cold War. In parallel with the development of the MIG-19 in the USSR, American aircraft designers were putting the finishing touches on their own design for a supersonic fighter. The F-100 Super Sabre entered serial production somewhat later than its Soviet counterpart, but it needed just as many improvements and upgrades.
The F-100’s main problems were its high failure rate and the shortcomings of its control systems. In addition, a fighter-bomber version was also being developed based on the Super Sabre: the F-100D, which featured an increased vertical and horizontal fin area and expanded capabilities with regard to suspended weaponry. In the end, it was the D version that became the most widespread modification of the single-seat Super Sabre thanks to its improved control and excellent combat abilities as either a fighter-bomber or pure fighter. In terms of suspended weaponry, the F-100D was able to carry over twenty extremely varied weapon loadouts, from traditional high-explosive bombs and rockets to air-to-air rockets and nuclear bombs.
In War Thunder, the F-100D Super Sabre will be the first supersonic fighter of rank VI in the American air force research tree. Its very high speed when flying horizontally, and excellent rate of climb, by no means suggest that the F100D can only fly straight, however, its enhanced controls and increased fin area make this aircraft quite obedient and pleasant to fly. The fantastic flying ability of this new top aircraft is supported by excellent weaponry. Four high-speed 20mm M-39A1s with 200 rounds per gun are installed in the Super Saber’s nose section. This is an upgraded version of the FMC T-160, a gun that should be familiar to War Thunder pilots from the F-86F-2 fighter. Its excellent accuracy, low recoil, and extremely high rate of fire make this the best aircraft gun in its class; just keep an eye on your remaining ammo.
The F-100D’s suspended armament is another story. In-game, we’ve selected ten loadouts made up of 500-, 750-, and 1,000-pound high-explosive bombs, unguided Hydra-70 rockets, guided AGM-12 Bullpups, and something entirely new to the game: guided air-to-air AIM-9B Sidewinders. These infrared guided missile will follow the target’s thermal signature, which allows pilots to engage and destroy any airborne target that produces enough heat in flight to be targeted. In practice, this means that a War Thunder pilot can target any jet aircraft, helicopter with a turboshaft engine, or certain piston-engine models with a Sidewinder, and be pretty confident about the results.
The F-100D Saber will be available to all War Thunder players at rank VI in the American aircraft research tree as soon as our huge 1.85 “Supersonic” update launches. Welcome to the supersonic era!

I really hope you guys update the effects on the exhaust in accordance with the afterburner
yeah - the plume behind non-afterburned engine should be easy fix and yet it's still there
przybysz86, yeah especially before jets like the MiG-21 and F-4 are added, I wanna see those blue and purple colors come through when you light up the afterburner in night missions
I just wanted more WW2 Italian planes, not this :'(
And others wanted supersonic jets, the game is not revolved around one group of players
EpicBlitzkrieg87, True, this game is revolved around naive casuals who want to pay for shiny stuff that will most likely have thousand and one problems in the actual game. What else to expect when even Reserved Air RB battles are far from balanced and newbies are getting battered into the ground by stat paddlers. This lot seems to you like they can handle supersonic jets when even biplanes are trouble?
Any Italian planes?
Will it have a deployable parachute to help with landing like IRL?
Doubt it but maybe in the future
Yeah, its called the " J " button
I just hope you flesh out the trees for other nations who don't have all the toys the Americans and the Russians have. Helos and Navy for other countries are still waiting while we start new things for the two "important nations."
We also need mobile SAMs if these fighters are going to have bullpups that can ruin my life in my leopard 2a4.
Like they did with GF?
Will there be any content for Japan this patch? They could use a 9.0+ vehicle to bolster the anemic lineup...
Yes, they will receive an updated, more detailed Pearl Harbor map...
Perhaps the F-40 will get the 9b, one can hope.
Question: Are we going to get all 3 devblogs for the 3 new jets today, or will they be introduced in the timespan of several days?
Over several days.
Ouiche, Thank you
BF2 modern era comming :D
Gijin please give us napalm and snake-eye bombs with this legendary fighter!
Warthunder will never get napalmbombs
_G55s_, We already have napalm in the game.
Gaijin Please make pilot bail out animation
