F-4F KWS LV (ICE): Arch-Phantom!

Is Germany finally going to be allowed into the 3+3 Maverick club, or you keep it artificially nerfed to only 1+1 Maverick?

“excellent flight characteristics”

Does it have the leading edge slats? If not, it’s going to be pointless to use at top tier.

It does, but every other airframe at that br is going to run circles around it.

Is this a typo? Or are we getting a smokeless AIM-9Li?

If you have proof that Germany did acquire LAU-88 rails, feel free to submit it?

and its not smokeless, its smokereduced and uses gatewidth irccm instead of tracking suspension
they added the 9L/i-1 to it to copy the 9M LMFAO

So is Germany going to get something else in the future to fill the gap between this and the Eurofighter? Because this is not competitive with the current top tier.

What I love about this is that I distinctly remember German mains calling for this, then as soon as it does get added, they all switch to “DOA it’s a phantom give us eurofighter”

Well, German mains also asked for the F-4F PR, when the F-4E was added. And when did they get it? Over a year later when all other tech trees have advanced even further.

Now here is the F-4F ICE, arriving with a nerfed loadout…

Did this plane ever carry any other lesser radar missile than its current ARH-missile? If not then they wouldn’t have added it: ARH have arrived for all tech trees simultaneously, otherwise it would’ve been a bad balancing decision on GJN’s part

I mean it got the regular Li with smoky motor on dev and Li-1 is “smokeless” so my question is are we actually getting Li-1 for ICE or was it just a typo for regular Li

Also do you have any source to back it up because so far I havent seen a single proof for different IRCCM type
