Making Phantoms Great Again

+1 billion. make phantoms usable again

After giving it some more thought, I came up with another solution that would keep it competitive against the more superior airframes it regularly faces, while also making the stock grind less frustrating for myself and other players.

@HazelPam7769

If Gaijin intends to keep the F-4EJ Kai at 12.3, then it should receive the AAM-3 missiles to help justify its Battle Rating from a balance perspective. As other Phantoms are proposed to receive additional capabilities, the F-4EJ Kai risks falling behind while remaining at the same Battle Rating of 12.3. Giving it the AAM-3 would provide a meaningful advantage, reinforce its position as the strongest Fox-1 Phantom in the game, and help ensure it remains competitive against other aircraft at 12.3 and above. Remove the AIM-9P missiles and make the AIM-9L the aircraft’s new stock missile. The AIM-7E missiles should also be removed, as they are effectively useless at 12.3 and serve no purpose other than making the stock grind more frustrating.

Remember to like and share the post because it’ll help bring more attention to these Phantoms which aren’t in the best place right now.

First batch of changes. Vehicles not listed not to be changed.
15.0: AESA Typhoons, Su-30SM2.
14.7: F-15C GE, Su-30MKM, Su-30SM. JAS39E?
14.3: F-15E/I.
14.0: F-15C/JM/BazM, Su-27SM, J-11B.
13.7: Su-30MK2, Su-30MKK.
13.3: F-15A/J/Baz, Su-33, Su-27, J11, F-14B/D.
13.0: F-18C Early.
12.7: F-18A.
Mig-21 Bison?

These changes would potentially entirely alleviate 12.0. Where the only 13.0s left are good SAHR carriers, and sub-par [for one reason or another] AMRAAM carriers.

As implied in the first sentence, this would just be a first batch.
After this I’d like to see what happens to see if it needs to go further.
