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
