F-84F Thunderstreak (swept-wing version with a more powerful engine): Armament consisted of six 0.50-inch M-3 machine guns, four mounted in the nose and two mounted in the wing roots. A radar-ranging A-4 gunsight was provided. A maximum of 6000 pounds of external ordinance could be carried, a typical load being two 2000-lb. bombs and eight 5-inch HVARs or four 1000-pound bombs and 24 3-inch rockets.
The F-84F never served in Korea. Despite being designed for better maneuverability than the earlier F-84s, airframe weakness* limited maneuverability throughout its service life.
* In a high-G stall, pitch-up could cause "structural separation of the main wings".
