the f4s ( which is an upgraded j model so it definitely has PD ) is lacking its much needed aim9L,s( historical armament btw ) and pulse doppler radar, it has no standing chance against enemies such as the mig23 and mig29 without a decent IR missile and pulse doppler radar ( no!!! head on mode is not real PD ) its insane to add a 1980’s variant of the phantom and give it 1960’s armament, and especially when you make people pay 70 dollars for it, whilst simultaneously the mig23ml gets SIX ALL ASPECT MISSILES THAT ARE CAPAPLE OF PULLING 20’G OR MORE.
also the apg59 was integrated into the AN/AWG-10B so that needs changing as well
cmano-db.com this technical data is pulled from 1978. mind you that the f4s was pulled from service in 1996 ( more than enough time to have the AWG10B and aim9L integrated into the platform )
See, that’s why I said they shoulda made a premium F-4J(S) and not an F-4S.
And yet, dogshit players still complain when their hand isn’t being held 99% of the time.
Cant speak for the radar but gaijin often limits what planes can carry for balance reasons. Easiest example is how the f16 cant carry every aam it can carry irl. They probably want to keep it at its current br and giving it better aams will move it up.
The PD-HDN in-game is accurate. More accurately described as High Pulse Repetition Frequency (HPRF). Early PD radars were less capable of tracking targets in beam and rear aspect.
All known integrations of the AWG-10 are present on the F4S as well. VTAS HMD, SEAM, Radar HMD, etc are all present features.
