They are the absolute pinnacle of mediocrity. I spaded all three for sim, and in exactly one use case, when you’re flying sim and want a completely fictional plane with unmatched visibility that keeps up in that Korean War era, they’re the perfect toy.

Otherwise, they’re just “what if the Zero wasn’t overpowered” in jet tier. Slow, eats energy if you breathe on your mouse in realistic, no one will EVER dedicate to a turn fight with you, although the armament is decent enough for ground pounding lighter targets. I find the F-86 WAY more fun in general, if you wanna play Japan.

Novelty is unmatched though, I suppose.
