I agree. F-4J(UK) should be 11.3 in SB. As that is the BR of the FGR2/FG1. Should be 11.7 in RB though, at least at a starting point

I was talking about the literal F-4J in the US TT but same idea even for RB because it has an extremely low A2A capability stock (including the gun)

BR should be based on spaded performance not stock. But they could all do with updated stock loadouts. Saw someone complaining about spading the FGR2 with 2-4x Aim-9D Vs Su-27s and F-15As the other day. That is rough

The f4j gets 2 aim9D and a gun that fires everywhere but straight forward… (im not even joking about the gun its that bad, and it doesn’t even get as many rounds as the f4c) honestly if it got stock chaff or a vulcan it wouldn’t be that bad and would be ok at 12.0

Yeah, the stock grind for these aircraft are brutal and need to brough in line with the later aircraft. I.E 2x of the later IR missiles (such Aim-9G) + 2x SARH missiles stock

if only it got aim9G stock oh boy the HMD would actually be useful since those can be radar locked as well as normally

Meanwhile the British ones don’t get HMD at all

None of the export ones did, also it blackouts very quickly in a just a 6g turn

That’s what ace crew is for.

my stamina and G tolerance in basically maxed out on that crew

Yeah, it’s expert and ace that actually helps. If it’s an aircraft I will be playing a lot and I need to turn in. I buy ace usually. Did that with the typhoon

Haha gaijin, nice F-4E you got there. Surely it’s super historical and block-number-accurate haha
Also, obligatory “no further improvements will be made” post

yea it can they did use them in Vietnam and they were equipped with them as as a air to air role

and also the f4s should be able to use the 3000 pond demolition bomb like the Germans have tho too

Needing a tutorial because gaijin knows they destroyed top tier with the phantom premiums

LMAO pathetic.

And when are you going to cover the plethora of payload options and systems the Phantoms are missing for “reasons”.

How ironic against premium zombers

I can say FG.1/FGR.2 is undertiered in sim if you compare to Navy Phantoms.

IMO british phantoms and navy phantoms should have same BR but, not 12.0.
