The North American F-86 Sabre is an American jet fighter best known for its participation in The Korean War. It was introduced in the late 1940s, though four years later its most widely produced version (the F-86F) was released, and most prior models were eventually updated to this standard. The F-86F is powered by a General Electric J47 jet engine which allows it to reach 1,106 km/h and is armed with six AN/M3 Browning machineguns. Besides forming the backbone of American air power in the first years of the Cold War, the Sabre was widely exported throughout the world and helped equip America's allies. Even in the 1960s, a skilled Sabre pilot can dance circles around modern strike fighters if they're too careless, and close in for the kill.

In the 1960s, with advances in military communications, it became feasible for small units to have aerial support on standby 24/7. As American troops became more reliant on Close Air Support (CAS) missions, this became an integral part of their warfighting doctrine, later codified as AirLand Battle.
EFFECT:
This unit gains a Very Easy DM to its hit rolls when attacking an enemy unit which has been Spotted!
Unique Attributes
Sabre Dance - Sabre Fighter UA
American Sabre pilots flying over Korea became renowned for their daring against numerically and sometimes qualitatively superior forces: the fearsome MiG series, flown by Soviet "volunteers". They would push their machines to their structural limits if it meant putting an enemy jet on their gunsight, for they needed but a fraction of a second to bring it down with a swift burst.
EFFECT:
When Dogfighting, the Sabre's pilot may expend 2d20 RES to gain +1 Air Superiority for a Short Duration. This ability can be repeated and stacked indefinitely.
