Since it is a carrier-based jet, its stall speed is low: it varies from 185 to 205 km/h IAS, depending on the weight. The plane will suffer from high speed compressibility near 1000 km/h IAS. The flaps also can decrease the turn time by 20% but their drawback is their quite low speed limit.

The manoeuvrability is also decent: at low and medium speed it can give a hard time to jets with swept wings and some other like the F-84G, performing a full horizontal circle will take 25 seconds at 1000 m with full fuel tanks and around 20 seconds with 20 minutes of fuel. There is no time limit for flying at 94%. The F2H can fly for around 30 minutes at 100% of power, then it can start to overheat. When it comes to climbing it can start struggling against any other planes, when the plane is fully loaded it is only 27 m/s and increases to ~37 m/s when there is only 20 minutes (30%) of fuel left.
Its level acceleration is decent, it varies a lot on the fuel amount since the plane carries a lot of it and when there is 30 minutes or less left it is very comparable to jets at similar battle rating, but any F-86 or MiG-15 version will easily outperform it. The Banshee is significantly faster than the F-80C and slower than jets from other nations, the Yak-30, M.D.452, J29 or export versions of the F-84G, also the structural speed which is 994 km/h is lower than their maximum level speed, so it can struggle with catching up to them. The plane is powered by the Westinghouse J34-WE-34 engine, the same that can be found in the F3D-1, although it is over 90 km/h faster than the former in level flight at sea level, it can reach 933 km/h. The F2H-2 Banshee is a carrier-based jet fighter aircraft. The aircraft is very powerful and even if one of the engines is taken out, the machine can still return to base safely. Overall this jet is one of the best US early jets, its BR coupled with its very good performances make it a very pleasant aircraft to fly and grind the whole US air tree. Speed warning appears at 940 km/h (584 mph), but it can reach over a 1,000 km/h (621 mph) and still not rip apart if flown carefully and kept it in a straight line. The Banshee is a very stable platform at high speeds. It is most recognized for its ability to remain stable even past its speed limit break (933 km/h or 580 mph) and also for its fantastic high-altitude performance. The F2H-2 Banshee is a fantastic jet-fighter with great overall speed and good manoeuvrability.
