How good were F-6s and A-5 are for vertical climb
F-6 with thrust:weight ratio of .86 was slightly better in vertical climb than A-5 that had t/w ratio of .63
A-5 was much more in weight than F-6 but had the same engines i.e WP-6 hence a lower t/w ratio as compare to F-6.
F-6 was very agile in turning battle and was excellent in combat handling between 12000 to 20000 feet,
