F-4S phantom II aim-120’s when?

[SOULRIFT-727]

Why does the F-4S not have the Aim-120 even tho it carried the Aim-120 when it was in service is this something to make us premium planes not good.

[Morvran]

1. That would make it a 13.3 and it would not stay at 12.0
2. F-4S is probably one of the best premiums in the game at the moment, being fast and well equipped for the BR
3. I dont think it used any IRL

[kenobr]

do you not see what the f4f ice has to go through why would you want that on an even worse airframe with a worse radar.

F-4S did not use AIM-120s

[Chubbmaster]

oh my god dude, you can have my f4f phantom in turn any f16, this thing sucks balls.

[hjnbnb]

Why does the F-4M not have the AIM-9L/i even tho it carried the AIM-9L/i when it was in service is this something to make GB tech tree planes not good.

/s

But seriously the AIM-120 was never used on the F-4S Phantom ii, only the AIM-9L or M could maybe be possible as an upgrade but why would you? AIM-7F and AIM-9H are already perfect enough.

[Gale_Cleven]

facts bro, just facts… Plus I personally think they should just give it AIM-9Ls and the AIM-7M at this point.

[Morvran]

Aim-9L… Maybe… Consider what it faces, but would probably push it up to 12.3 as its a decent dogfighter. Only if it actually used them though

Aim-7M, did it even use them?

[Gale_Cleven]

Considering that Japan never used the F-16A…?

[warthogboy09]

@Morvran

Aim-7M, did it even use them?

Yes. And it used all the way up to AIM-9Ms. Much like the rest of western equipment, it’s armaments are being artificially restricted.

McDonnell Douglas F-4S/L Phantom II - Late Serving Naval Phantom

poll poll poll This is a suggestion for a late-service version of the F-4S, in the latter days of it’s career and approaching the time when it would be retired. Compared to the F-4J and the current premium F-4S, this boasts AIM-9Ls and AIM-7Ms, allowing it to be a threat against the more advanced jets it would fight. F-4S/L /L here stands for Late, as is found in Typhoon Mk Ib/L. Represented in a mid-80s configuration. [image] F-4S of VF-161 during the final Phantom launch from a Carrier, …

But at the same time I would rather them add an F-4S (late) in the tech tree that has correct equipment. The premiums can sit and rot for all I care.

The latest missiles the last serving F-4S Phantoms equipped were the Aim-7M/P and Aim-9L/M. No USA serving phantom ever equipped any Aim-120 ever. Closest we got was when they attached an Aim-54A to a F-4B/J way back when:

Not this again…

[someweirdname]

• No Phantom outside the German and Hellenic Airforces ever could carry AiM-120

• all remaining Phantoms left US reserve service Before AiM-120 was ready for production

• the rumours that American Phantoms carried AiM-120s come from the German Phantoms at the US training Airwing that according to US Law were painted in a US scheme with US identification markers even tho they were not part of the US forces

[warthogboy09]

@someweirdname

all remaining Phantoms left US reserve service Before AiM-120 was ready for production

This is not remotely true.

[jojoking45]

Regardless whether or not it would be realistic, it would make no sense. The F4S couldn’t be in a better spot than it is right now, and giving it the F4 ICE treatment would make no one happy.

[someweirdname]

just imagine it at 13.3 without a build in cannon and with it’s at the BR well outdated Radar

[Kmdo_Peach]

be VERY careful what you ask for, I guarantee you don’t want AIM-120 on the F4 phantom

[FLARESGAMING_Yt]

The F-4E UAP and F-4F ICE could, but not the S
also, as a certified F-4S gamer, it is already one of the best prems in the game, just abuse the fact that aim-9h’s are insane and aim7f’s at under 5km are basically a guaranteed kill.

[FLARESGAMING_Yt]

I want so bad, sure you don’t get a gun or really anything but I think seeing “F-4B, AIM-54A, MiG-23” would be so funny.
