it would just end up being another cas aircraft, think the kurnass 2000 but for the US tree with sparrows

Did you not read this part?
At least it will use much more modern radar than we have in the game right now. It’s not essentially PD in mind, but it’s something else.

Been flying the early F-4E again tonight. Still fun, just wish we had the late version.

The thing is the version ingame IMO should be late
It already has most of the features of the late blocks ground armament wise, it just need the 7Ms, 9Ls, etc
I think they could remodel the current version and bring it to 12.0 (same as 4J because no PD) and then replace the function of the current F-4E with an F-4D

Well, it’s missing:
- Pave Spike,
- Pave Tack,
- all of its Laser Guided Bombs,
- it doesn’t have the late F-15-style centerline drop tank,
- it’s missing AIM-7F and 7M,
- and 9P, L, M,
- It’s also missing the wing drop tanks,
- AGM-65D and 65G,
- Durandals,
- many of the CBUs,
- the GPU-5A gunpod,
- ECM pods,
- the Datalink pod for GBU-15s,
- the GBU-15V2 IIR seeker,
- GBU-24,
need I go on?
lol.
There’s a lot of stuff the F-4E is missing that makes it a late model. All of that stuff should be added to either the existing variant with the F-4F late cockpit (more accurate to the timeframe of weapons carried), or a new DMAS cockpit, specific to the late F-4E.
Either way, it’s probably a while out. And yes, if we get a late F-4E, we ought to get an F-4G with it, and an F-4D foldered with the F-4C at 11.0 or something.

Only the ICE has the 4E pit not even the regular ones
Whoopsies, my bad. I haven’t touched the German tech tree haha.
Anyways, yeah 11.0, for the F-4D? No internal cannon, worse radar than our current F-4E, less weapon variety, etc.
11.0 is J-7E and F-5E/NF-5A territory
Oh, I’m aware. It’s also F-4EJ ARB BR.
