Open for discussion. 

[Retry 7,363]

Cool, someone finally actually suggested the Thunderstreak.  Should be a nice alternative to the A5 sabre at least, until it gets Fresco-Stomped.

 

...'Dat stall speed doe

And let's not forget about the E and G models as well I'm no expert on the subject but at first glance the F-84E and G models look nearly identical to the B.

[Kocyra 5,742]

Ugly but yes please

[WarEagle04 159]

Maybe  also add  the west Germany one ?

 

[Wilhuff_Tarkin_ 467]

+1

24 HVARs sounds amazing

 

Maybe  also add  the west Germany one ?

 

And don't forget about French and Italian ones.

In all honesty, I don't know why they didn't get this instead of the CL-13 (other than it just being easier for Gaijin to reskin an F-86 and call it a new aircraft), since the F-84E, F, and G variants were the first jet fighters to ever be operated by the post-war Luftwaffe.

[xXFlamingTigerXx 5]

Yes please add the Thunderstreak!

I already made suggestions for the Luftwaffe F-84F and RF-84F

Edited December 7, 2016 by SubRyan

[Jimopl1 141]

Yes I think this should definitely be added!

[Querulous1 3,276]

Yes, Germany needs it

[GregKjr 520]

my question is with the hunter and mig17 why is this not already in the game???? heck its not like we are asking for the f-104 right !!!!

 

and btw at this point i think we are up to like 4 different request threads for the f-84f now.

 

this suggestion is for a US and German f-84f 

but as usual  +1 from me .... i guess..... not like its ever going to happen so..... what ever +1 and good luck with that 

[fesa01 19]

+1, a great addition to US tech tree 

[blakeob 8,086]

Suggestion passed to the developers for review.

[leroyonly 4,311]

As the F-84F-50-RE has been added as per update 2.3 Hot Tracks (if we look at the engine it uses),

 

Moved  to Implemented Suggestions.
