One plane that I really liked the looks of is the F4D-1 or Ford. MacNamara made it into an F-6A when he renumbered all of the planes Air Force style in '62.
Isn't she pretty?
This is me flying a recon mission in a what-if Suez Crisis campaign.
The F4D-1 is pretty and reasonable fast, but she's a wallowing pig. No pitch authority, no roll authority beyond very mild angles of attack. Part of it is the model I am sure. But since it was designed as an interceptor and not a dog-fighter, I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised when it can't turn and burn with a Meteor F.8 or MiG-15bis.
But I expect a supersonic fighter to be able to out-fucking-run a straight wing throw-back to WW2!
I am not sure if the Ford is nerfed or if the Meteor is über'd.
