+Combat reports from the Korean War quickly indicated that the standard NATO day fighter of the time, the Gloster Meteor, was no longer able to compete with the newest 'enemy' fighters of the time (i.e. the MiG-15), so in 1953 the Belgian and Dutch Air Forces jointly decided to replace their Gloster Meteors by the more advanced Hawker Hunter, which at the time was entering service with the Royal Air Force.  While Hawker would provide plans and pattern aircraft for production, the majority of the aircraft destined for the Belgian and Dutch Air Forces would be produced under license by local companies.  These were the Belgian aircraft manufacturers Fairey Aviation and SABCA and the Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker, who would assemble the aircraft; the Belgian arms manufacturer FN-Herstal, who would license-build the Rolls-Royce Avon engines for both Belgian and Dutch production; and the Dutch companies Aviolanda, De Schelde, and Werkspoor, who would produce components for both production lines.

 Overall, the Hunter F.6 is an good boom & zoom airframe, and harassing multiple enemies one by one seems to yield optimal results. It is to be kept in mind that the performances of this tactic are largely dependant on the position of the Hunter in the battle. In a uptier, high overload missiles and supersonic opponents will tear the Hunter to shreds. but around it's own BR, the Hunter can engage rapidly and escape furballs, only to regengage when the next opportunity appears.
-When examining placement, it can be usefull to flank the initial furballs to ensure low pressure in engagements and increased decision time. Flying at high altitudes is disadvised, as the engine power is lower and agility suffers, making the Hunter a missile magnet.
+When examining placement, it can be usefull to flank the initial furballs to ensure low pressure in engagements and increased decision time. Flying at high altitudes is disadvised, as the engine power is lower and agility suffers, making the Hunter very vulnerable to missiles.
 When attacking, a shallow dive angle is recommended, to avoid compressibility problems, and remain in the most manoeuvrable speed interval. This stands for escaping as well, where a 10° climb is often enough to zoom away without losing speed, and watching eventual pursuers lose theirs.
