F-4J payload

Maybe because you lack reading capability.
If you were able to read theories, it wouldn’t have bored you. Because arguing is funny enough.
Crushing flaws… feels so shine and bright

Nah, 10.7BR jets like Jaguar GR.1A, or Mirage IIIE will be doomed.

Because it should’t.

Blunder.
Oh, how about removing AIM-7F because Mirage F1C doesn’t have the F-4J level of radar or SARH at 12.0 then?

You didn’t listen to what I told you at all.
What we need to do is send those higher
Not sending F-4J lower.
For Christ’s sake.

Are you implying that US engineers deliberately sabotaged Japanese airforce? Or USSR spies sabotaged US engineers?

is it just me or is the F-4E’s better than the F-4J’s

I haven’t played the USN variant of F-4J yet, so I can’t tell for sure.
but I kinda liked F-4E(Kurnass)'s RWR more than either F-4J(UK) or F-14A IRIAF’s one.

So F-4E’s RWR would be better than F-4J.

Probably a combo of compression and BR magnets.

12.0+ is heavily compressed and 12.0s face way stronger aircraft than it should. The commonality of airframes like the 3x premium F-18s, Mirage F1C-200, and SQVs like the SU-33. Mean it often faces uptiers. its most common for 11.7+s to be dragged up to 12.7.

Being 11.3. The F-4E avoids a lot of said uptiers, and at most, might face 11.7s. But probably spends a lot of time facing downtiers, pulled towrads the 10.7 aircraft like the F-5C, J-7D and premium Mig-21s.

The result is where the F-4J faces uptiers, the F-4E faces downtiers

im just talking about the RWR

Ah right, no idea then, but also might just be that the bands it faces at 11.3 are better for it than the 12.0 one faces

with a small exception of Naval Phantoms\F-14As. Words can’t describe how much i “love” ALR-45 with it’s certified “pilot vibes” detection system

checked it, the F-4E’s is actually better

The F-4E is VERY good at 11.3. Mind how I didn’t say busted as it can get countered easily.
Even in 12.3 uptiers it can hold its own by punishing mistakes with its wide radar cone and insane close range sparrow capabilities.
Another important factor is that, unlike the 4J, it doesnt see 13.0 and all the annoyances that come with it ( busted premiums and absolutely cracked 13.0s)

Not seeing any fox-3 or heavily armed 4th gens is it’s saving grace. Wish the ACM cone was a little smaller or faster though sometimes

I’m sure the 5% of the time the sparrow bugs out will make up for the fact the F-4J is a strictly better aircraft in air RB than all 10.7-11.3s. You were firing at a target that was almost notching you the entire time btw.

F-4J is a USN aircraft

What I meant was

I flew F-4J(UK), the USED exported version from USN to RAF (Which is inferior)
But I haven’t unlocked and flown with the original F-4J yet.

it wouldnt really make sense for F4J to be 12.3 with 9L since the F18A and the MIG 21 Bison are miles better i get the EJ kai is that BR cause it has boosted radar and 9Ls honestly should be lower considering the 12.3s at same br

If you put EJ Kai at 12.0 it’s just a strictly better F-4S/F-4J. If you put it at 12.3 it’s just a strictly worse hornet/Mirage 2K etc. The game is just massively compressed.

The jet is also missing its external countermeasure pods, which are already present on the A-6E TRAM in-game. I go into a bit more detail about them in this post.

The Phantoms have largely been forgotten, and a couple of them, such as the F-4J, F-4S, and F-4M, need to receive AIM-9Ls for balance reasons.

The F-4C is also missing Paveways and IRCM. Both of which would make it an actually good airplane in both ARB and GRB.

the 4C never used Paveways, as it lacked the computers needed for that, the D however did, while they do look similar they are quite different, however without the LGBs its hard to tell the difference between the Bs, Cs, Ds, and Ns (modernized Cs) only the air force Ds, Es, Gs, and late model Navy Js (through TER/MER racks) could mount and use LGBs

They are already the best 12.0 jets, the F-4J/S
