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

i know as much as you, i heared about it once very faintly , but dont remember where and was never able to find any sources again. Until we found that david bowie quote

I will be honest with you, that quote gives me nothing at all. It jsut says that 74 M are modernized 74, so modernized 9L

It’s more like AIM-9M-4 was inferior to AIM-9Li when it came out, which led to further modernization of AIM-9M

like i said its very convuluted

The top rank of the German aviation tree

  • Excellent flight characteristics compared to other Phantoms.

Oh cool, because at this top rank it will definitely be fighting other Phantoms… right? Because otherwise I’m not sure why this is relevant.

  • Superb versatility.

Good way of saying a jack of all trades that isn’t good at anything in particular and at none of the things that actually matter in the game.

The abbreviation “ICE” highlights the aircraft’s extended capabilities and stands for Improved Combat Efficiency.

Combat efficient at the time perhaps.

giving it the edge over opponents

I doubt it has the edge over any opponent quite frankly.

Could one of you 2 help us out with this small riddle?
Will the Aim9L/I-1 receive a smokeless motor or will smoke be added to the RB 74 (M), because they are essentialy the same missle ?

Then maybe they could have not ripped the Dutch from the German military, the one it is working very closely together with in land, air and naval and instead they send it to France for god knows what reason and send both the Belgium and Dutch F-16s into that tree, and later copy paste a bunch of Leopards into the French ground forces as another middle finger to Germany.

9L/i rn ing is a 1to1 copy of 9M with smoke

ikr

This is gonna be great. Can’t wait to frag all the arrogance out of people flying Su-27s, Gripens, and F-15s.
Excellent platform considering Mig-29SMT is going to be a higher BR than this. XD

Similar to Mig-29SMT. ;)

@theKEYツ
AIM-9Li is smokey, it’s not a 9M copy.

It’s getting its 9Li and AIM-120s, no nerfed loadouts.

Which would make F-4F ICE’s BR 14.X, and the Typhoon would have a lower BR than the F-4F ICE when introduced.
There is no artificial nerf.
Really not sure why you’re begging for HMD F-16s, and F-15C to get AIM-9X, F-15JM to get AAM-5/5B, Gripen to get Python 5s, Mirage to get MICA IR… and so forth. The consequence of begging for F-4F ICE to get unbeatable missiles equivalent to AIM-9Ls on F-104As.

F-4F ICE is coming in with perfect timing with no nerfs, is the perfect BR while being below its equivalent: Mig-29SMT.
It’s gonna be funny.

Also the fact you don’t know that R-74, and AIM-9X exist is funny.

If it is objectively inferior, he is right though and not necessarily bad.

yes but we are talking about the Aim9L/I-1 here

what did i said bro?
grafik

there isnt a 9L/i-1 ing, i think gaijin got a bit confused

there is lol

is it a extra missile, with its own stats?

I know that the AIM-9X and R-74 exist, but they are inferior.

its an upgraded Aim9L/I , it isnt on the dev server yet. If added it propably will be 1:1 the same as Aim 9M with smokeless motor propably

i asked if there is a 9L/i-1 ing (ingame) and you said there is, and now there isnt?

its not some high science to notice the ICE is inferior to everything of its BR lol
