 The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was the first supersonic fighter jet designed and built by Japan, as a joint project of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Fuji Heavy Industries. It derived from the [[Mitsubishi T-2]] advanced jet trainer, which was influenced by the [[Jaguar (Family)|SEPECAT Jaguar]]. The F-1 had a specialized role in anti-ship and ground attack missions, with upgraded avionics, airframe and weapons capacity, including seven hardpoints and a built-in JM61A1 Vulcan. It replaced the F-86 Sabres in the JASDF's arsenal.
-It was introduced in [[Update "New Power"]]. The F-1 is a versatile fighter that can perform different roles depending on the mission. It can attack both air and ground targets with its two 20 mm JM61A1 cannons, which have 750 rounds of ammo and can damage light armour and aircraft. It can also carry up to ~2,500 kg of ordnance on seven hardpoints, such as AIM-9P Sidewinder missiles, bombs and rocket pods. The on-board ballistics computer can help guide the ordnance (including the cannon) to ground targets. The F-1 does not have any countermeasures like flares and chaff, so it needs to be careful when facing enemy missiles. A possible workaround is to use the FFAR rocket pods as makeshift flare pods and fire a volley or so to break missile locks.

 ;Air-to-Air
 The F-1 is a challenging aircraft to fly at its high BR, as it has mediocre flight performance and only rear-aspect missiles. The F-1 should adopt a passive playstyle and rely on the team's support. The AIM-9Ps can be very effective if the enemy is unaware of or distracted by the F-1's presence. However, if the enemy is alert and dodging, the F-1 will have a hard time finding a good launch angle, even with the radar-slaving feature. Moreover, many aircraft have flares that can decoy the missiles. Therefore, surprise is essential for the F-1's success. The F-1's cannon can also be very effective with accurate or lucky shots, but dogfighting is not recommended for this aircraft due to its inferior performance. The F-1 consumes a lot of fuel, so 30 minutes of fuel is at minimum recommended for most matches. Like the [[T-2]], the F-1's wings will break off in high-speed negative G manoeuvres. Another drawback of the F-1 is that it lacks any countermeasures such as flares or chaff, which can be compensated by loading FFAR missiles and using them as makeshift flares, but this will increase the drag for the plane in exchange for more survivability against missiles.
 A strategy player can adapt to, particularly in downtiers, is to climb to high altitude (6500-8500m) and waiting for furballs to take place. While other aircraft are engaging one another, use the AIM-9Ps to destroy enemy aircraft in low energy/altitude states, then zoom back up to altitudes.
 Using keyboard input to assist manoeuvres can be very helpful, as the aircraft tends to wobble around its central axis with mouse aim only.

 With the ballistics computer, the F-1 can prove exceptional in the role of close air support with its bombs, rockets and even gun, if complete air superiority has been accomplished. Though, with the lack of countermeasures, pilots will find themselves vulnerable to SAMs if not addressed properly. Its exceptional radar system often provides an advantage over enemy air combatants. Flying low, once an enemy aircraft has been located, it's often a good idea to turn off the search or lock radar as the chance is often great that the enemy is equipped with a RWR, alerting them to your presence and your upcoming attack. Again though, the F-1 suffers greatly when forced into drawn out engagements with the more capable enemies at its battle rating, though the opposing aircraft in this mode are not always similar in battle rating.
