Potentials of F-4S (1984) would be 11.7 or 12.0 BR at early rank 8 and fill gap between F-4J Phantom II & F-14A (Early) Tomcat
F-4D armed SARH MRAAM like F-4E except no AIM-9J, GBU-15(V)1/B & AGM-65B Maverick, and equipped laser designator pods AN/AVQ-10 Pave Knife
+1
4D, not E or J? Seems like a very outdated model to be the one receiving those weapons.
Also as an air force model the D would be in a different line than this.
Id like to see the premium F4S get it’s guided bombs & aim9l
F-4Ds and Cs were used by the reserves and national guard into the early 1990s
Also, I completely missed the second part of what you said: I was meaning an F-4D as the premium whereas the F-4S could be TT
Navy Phantoms never had guided bombs, only the AF ones did
Hello.
I recently knew that F-4S (the premium version) only has one skin: the VF 301 (1984)
F-4S were used in more squadrons, such as VMA 321, VMFA 333, VF 151…
every F-4S in these squadrons had different color schemes. (Especially VMA 321)
So, my request was: what if in a future update, F-4S Will have more skins?
Thanks so much, (and sorry for bad english)
As an update, the WT F-4S now has marketplace skins, one from VFMA-321 and one from VMFA-212
And sadly neither are low-vis :(
+1 you can never have too many phantoms…
+1, I support to have more modern F-4 Phantoms in this game. It is an excellent idea to folder this F-4S (1984) with F-4J for the USN/USMC the same way as F-4E-53 (1983) in a folder with the original F-4E for the USAF. Both can equip AIM-9L and AIM-7F to make them more capable in the Air RB meta despite their subpar maneuverability.
So just an update, I changed the suggestion title to match my new F-4E/L suggestion. I would change the polls but I don’t want to reset them

Stock camoflage should be this because low-vis was very common in 1980s.
Also, since F-14A moved up to 12.7, US Navy TT needs 12.3 materials rn.
So, based on this aircrafts maximum capability (AIM-7M + AIM-9L) it would most likely sit at 12.7 maybe even 13.0 just based on the quantity of AAM’s.
Therefore, it would be wise to drop the AIM-7E and just start with the AIM-7E-2, and then progress in order:
rank I — rank II
AIM-7E-2 (2 stock AAM’s) — AIM-7E-3 (SIDE GRADE)
|
AIM-7F rank III
|
AIM-7M rank IV
and then for the Sidewinder category of AAM
AIM-9G (2 stock AAM’s) rank I
|
AIM-9H rank II — AIM-9P-4 rank III
|
AIM-9L rank IV.
The AIM-9P-4 is an export AIM-9J which has been upgraded with the abilities to slave to a radar lock, and function in all aspect, im about 80% sure it was not an improvement made by the U.S
(possibly thailand) if anyone knows for sure plz let me know.
But i could be incorrect, considering many countries have had customized contracts for U.S vehicles/weapons.
So since it its an export, it probably wont be included in the loadout menu or modification tab.
AND it would most likely retain the colt MK11 gunpod (stock obviously).
There is no point in putting this many missiles in the grind. Especially with getting SARHs and IRs stock.
The F-4S cannot use these, nor does it have a need for them.
It’s a missile used for export and on ANG and USAF F-4Es. Navy and marines did not use the P series at all.
Mind you half of these selections would be side grades, and not required.
Yes I know, and i too mentioned that it would not be added.
Especially since this model would get 9L’s
Thats the main reason i think it wouldn’t be added, to an F4S of all phantoms.
Absolutely. Premiums should be sidegrades to tech tree vehicles.
F-4N should have been the premium. F-4S w/ slats should come after F-4J in the TT (or folder).
Same thing with the F/A-18s. The -C early is a direct upgrade to the TT vehicle. Yes, the -A is 0.3 BR lower, but it is overperforming there and will go to 12.7 before too long.
Instead, the C early should have gone in a folder with the A, and the A+ should have been the premium. Slightly less powerful engines with good armament & premium bonuses (similarly to how the F-5C is not superior to the F-5E).
So… F-4S/L is “technically” already implemented because of AN/ALR-45F RWR?
