You have to look for opportunitites. Hilly areas, there people often can’t follow the elevation. Sometimes people are busy engaging someone, you can try there. You can also use the pulse mode, sometimes it helps, sometimes doesn’t. I hope you already understand the fundamentals around the radar, especially on how pulse and pulse doppler behaves and also how the missile reacts to chaff and notching in different situations
All Phantoms except the F4C never were good planes (flightmodel) in WT. They only rely on their weaponary.
11.3 in a full uptier is unplayable today. Everyone is grinding the event or flying Mirage or bought prem vehicles in the sale. Seal clubbing for toptier players.
Anyway, every 12.3 outperforms you in every single metric. Even 12.0 do so the most.
Watch Defyn’s YT channel, imo the best youtuber at WT.
Because that is the tt version. The navy and British phantoms play differently than the air force phantoms. If you don’t bring the gunpod at least. If you have no experience with them it’s not a surprise.
if you hug the ground neither can they.
Superb write-up. Thanks.

The perfect idea! lets cater to a guy who can’t play the game!
The F-4S is too slow because you’re fully loading it with bombs and going against jets with lighter, A2A-only loadouts. It doesn’t turn because you have tonnes of bombs on board. Your radar isn’t picking anything up because you aren’t correctly using its modes and various controls - flares and chaff do not impede pulse doppler at all. The F-4S has an excellent armament with ten missiles, the only downside is that you don’t get all aspects (which is the same for the FGR2 and FG1, both of which have worse IR missiles and turning performance than you).
Some aircraft at or above 12.0 need to go up because of compression, but the F4S is by no means bad or impossible to use. Stop insisting on using it like a B17 and you’ll perform better.

^This tbh
I have no idea why people use it as bomber even late Phantoms are really decent BVR missile bus.
Because it is much easier.
if that’s the f-4s imagine the f-4j that shares BR with worse missiles and one of the worst flight models of any phantom.
If you think the F4J is bad you havent played the FGR, F-4J (UK) or FG.1 yet both sit at the same exact br but have probably the worst weapons available for any 11.3 aircraft it doesnt even get the top end of rear aspect IR missiles you’d expect for something that fights 4th gen aircraft slinging AIM-9M and AAM-3. The brit phantoms are stuck with AIM-9G and the radar missiles are arguably worse since it only gets access to AIM-7E-2
(Skyflash ingame for all intents and purposes is a copypasted AIM-7E-2 the only difference in any of its stats is the track rate of the seeker which does pretty much nothing above 15°s)

HELL NAH man you got a huge skill issue my friend.
I got multiple aces with the F4J also got my record of kills in air rb (6).
If you are in a dowtier go for BVR, as some MIG23 are stupid enough to climb, if you are in uptier just fly at the edges of the map and snipe with the sparrows.
If you actually get in the brawling zone use your HUD to kill players you don’t even know you are already locking onto them.
??? F-4E was meta for almost 3 years.
well thats just incorrect
???
F-4J has basically the same missiles.
