How to Play on Phantoms

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is one of the most recognizable and long-serving fighters of the Cold War era. In our previous videos, we covered its development history and examined its various payload options in detail. Today, however, we want to focus on the specific tactics for using the Phantom in War Thunder.

Top tier premiums and its consequences have been a disaster for the War Thunder.

I think you need another tutorial on how to take off and not crash as well.

Knight is a doppler phantom. Spear is a AIM-7F. But I don’t know how to use photoshop.

Speaking of br the F4J should go down to 11.3

also its missing the Additional aim-7 its able to carry on the wing pylons at the end that all f4s can carry the f4s should be able to carry the max of 8 aim-7s and and 4 aim 9s tho too

UMMMM no the f4c cant carry aim7’s on the wings

Exactly, F-4C has no countermeasures which is why it’s 10.7 and not 11.0+.

The German F-4 are also using the wrong drop tank, should be the same tank as the F-15
