Left side view of three U.S. Navy Grumman F9F-2 Panther aircraft and one U.S. Navy McDonnell F2H-2 Banshee aircraft in flight.
5/31/2005 5:35:31 PM. Worse than a stock F-86F, but not as bad as the F-84B. Banshees may have engaged Migs, but didn't shoot any down. It was larger and … Just because a plane is replaced doesn't mean it was bad. Post Jan 10, 2011 #1 2011-01-10T15:49.
Dogfight goes to the Panther. US Navy and Marine pilots often referred to the F2H as the "Banjo". 1,877 14. twyjgy. I reckon the Panther would hold its own as they are both evenly matched. But the Banshee's acceleration is absolutely terrible. When someone competent gets a hold of this then much raging will be happening. The F2H-2 did NOT have night fighter radar as standard except for a few F2H-2N's. Its two engines were in the 3200lb/thrust range, the one engine in the Grummen was in the 6200lb/thrust range. The Banshees were later replaced by the F9F Panther and Cougars. Both squadrons were based out of MCAS Cherry Point and saw several carrier before transitioning to the F9F Cougar in 1957. By the way, for anyone who has seen the old movie THE BRIDGES AT TOKO-RI, the spectacular F9F deck crash in the movie was an actual flight deck film, and the pilot lived through it.
I know a few Panthers were shot down by Migs but I don't recall ever reading about Mig/Banshee encounters. Of course a 1948 straight wing naval fighter is going to be worse than a swept wing F-series Sabre that came out in the 50's. 1,877 14. No mods, no outside help, just factory standard. Of course, it also had more range and endurance at that launch weight. I know a few Panthers were shot down by Migs but I don't recall ever reading about Mig/Banshee encounters. No, no, the Panther was replaced by the Cougar. If that was the case, you could say that about most aircraft. I reckon the Tomcat could have been superior to the Super bug in fleet air defence, if they had updated the avionics a bit. As to who would win... it depends on the fight:
It did require a bit more wind over deck for launch with the same weight of armament due to the higher airframe weight. "The author also says that the Banshee was much heavier and a had higher stall speed, which made it more dangerous for carrier work.". Killing N1Ks and R2Y2s over Iwo Jima and Saipan. The Banshee served for about ten years and was soon replaced by MUCH more capable aircraft. With two engines was the Banshee a better performer than the F9 or did the extra weight equal them out? I was just wondering, did any Banshees have any contact with Migs during the Korean War?

In the movie, the pilot was supposed to have been killed.
And it should be using the Colt Mk 16's instead of the AN/M3. Only starting in the F2H-3 did it become an all weather fighter. The Banshee was heavier but it had a lower stall speed than either the F9F-2 or -5 according to the Standard Aircraft Characteristics charts. This is a subreddit for War Thunder, a cross platform vehicular combat MMO developed by Gaijin Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. F2H Banshee vs. F9F Panther and Mig -15. twyjgy. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts, _Naval forces and supersonic aircraft were a mistake. If they were both evenly matched, then America would not have wasted the money to bring the banshee into service. But the Banshee's acceleration is absolutely terrible. The Banshee was a concurrent aircraft to the Panther, which was intended as all-weather fighter. The plane was only slightly larger than the F9F-5. The game is based around combined arms battles on air, land, and sea with vehicles from the Spanish Civil War to today. The F2H should have been a better attack a/c, same bombload with a larger wing so less handling trouble loaded. Collection Item Long Description: Topic Or am I missing something? Actually, the F2H-2 has better takeoff performance compared to the F9F-2. The Banshee was a concurrent aircraft to the Panther, which was intended as all-weather fighter. The Banshee, for the simple reason that it replaced the Panther in American service, iirc. Press J to jump to the feed.
Right now the F9F-2 in RB has a BR of 8.3, On the dev server the F2H-2 had a BR of 6.7, New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. No yourself. Because this should be 7.3 at least. I was just wondering, did any Banshees have any contact with Migs during the Korean War?
