British F-4 Phantom II : Balance, Air and Ground Ordinances and Radar

Either add 9Ls and keep it at 12.0 or move it down to 11.7, also give it the US LD bombs. I hate the British ones, and they limit the payload.

Dosen’t like Viggen have the Swedish variant of Skyflashes and also PD radar on 11.3 BR?

It’s seem a bit unfair to F-4J UK to be on 12.0 while being literally Worse than the viggen.
I have high hopes that they remind their self and do an change fast about British Fellas.

Phantom FG.1 - Nose Landing Gear(NLG) should not extend

Phantom FG.1/FGR.2 - Missing AoA/stall warning tones

The NLG issue is probably an issue that there is only 1 3D model for the landing gear extended. And it is still possible to use for carrier take offs so if we could only have 1, I would rather it be in the extended position

I assume animation is just missing because NLG will be normal position when gears up.

Is there any reason to fly the fg.1 over the fgr 2? or vice versa? they seem to be the same plane from a cursory glance at it. cant decide what to unlock first

what to go for first…

one of them has the funny tall landing gear

dont know if there are any other differences

FG.1 is a little bit heavier so it turns a little bit worse across the board, but the difference isn’t even noticable in the naked eye…
Like the FGR.2 will get FG.1s tail after the 30th circle…
The FG.1 should have better reheat-response because Spey 203 and FGR has Spey 202 (the same engine except that detail) , which is not modelled in game.
The FG had AWG-11 and AN/APG-60 radar and FGR has AWG-12 with AN/APG-61FCR with the main difference being AWG-12 having better ground mode (if they bring it accurately to the game it should have difference) … Also AWG-12 later received some of the upgrades of the AWG-10A and B.

In general…
They could keep FG.1 in the m the navy version with 9Gs and AIM-7E2 (Skyflash they got in Air Force service and AIM-9L) and give the FGR.2 Super Temp Skyflash , like they had by the end of their career .
This way they can cover different BRs.

If you play Air Sim (and its working, not sure if it is or not) then the FG1 you can pick carrier spawn.

Other than that… not really imo. FGR2 gets a micro amount of extera thrust.

So after that, its just what do you want first? F-18s/FA2 or Gripen/Typhoon

But this though as well… Hopefully someday they’ll create some differences between them
