I haven’t seen that before, can you provide a picture?

Ah, its really hard to see. 2nd image is more obvious.
Why not? Helps fill gaps, I could definitely see a place for this aircraft ingame coming before the F-4EJ. +1 from me.

this chart has all the JSDF aircraft from 1954 → 2024 there is ton’s of candidates for better BR filling then adding a F-4EJ Early (which is effectively the F-4EJ we have ingame with a new name)

Do you have any other photos than you posted and any TRDI or JASDF mentions? Because isn’t AAM-4 tbh it looks like typo with AAM-3
The same question as with AAM-4. There wasn’t found any photo of JDAM on pylon what can be used for JDAM (TER what was seen can attach it but not link). Also wasn’t found any TRDI/JASDF mentions of testing or operating JDAM from F-4EJ
I believe that’s a typo yes. The EJ Kai used the AAM-3 and is known to have been a testbed of the XAAM-4.
The more the better! But I would still like to have an early phantom as well, more aircraft and options in general couldn’t hurt ;)
The armament is VERY different.
we have alot of better candidates for it
refer to this
maybe RF-4E or T-1 or F-104DJ could be added instead of a earlier F-4EJ
elaborate
Well they can all be added, I don’t see a problem with that. This suggestion is for this vehicle, not those.
This was a completely unarmed reconnaissance model of the F-4, unless it was refitted like the German RF-4Es, which is possible. Though if the German ones are any indication, they would likely only have dumb bombs and rockets and not air-to-air missiles due to the larger amount of work for the conversion. Also, the RF-4E entered service in 1975, shortly before the introduction of the AIM-9P in 1978 meaning they’d likely have those.
This T-1? The worse Sabre? Or did you confuse it with the F-1/T-2 family already in-game?
This would be essentially identical to the F-104J. Or it could have AIM-9E but then that’s like 9.7 and not really a direct competitor to the F-4EJ, though still a good addition.
Overall I think the F-4EJ (early) would be a welcome addition for BR 10.3, and there’s not really a direct alternative.

Didn’t you read the suggestion?
T-1 not F-1/T-2
some later RF-4E’s (if I recall its RF-4EJ改 [Kai]) were fitted with weapons though it was IR missiles as some form of defence
could have F-1/T-2 Later versions which has 9Ls and chaff pods for 10.3 rather than a F-4EJ Early, as an event vehicle F-4EJ Early could be a good idea similar to F-4F Early tho that’s as far as i’d say it could be added
also I did read, however it’s virtually a bone stock F-4EJ at a lower BR, I don’t think it’ll be implemented
F-4EJ Early Get！！！
It wont fit at 10.3… 10.7 maybe however F-1 (Late) with x2 9L’s and x2 Chaff pods would be a better option for 10.3, and F-4EJ “Early” being 10.7
Yes that’s the point, you trade less weapons for a much lower BR. It helps fill out the tech tree.

“Less weapons” it’s just the tech tree F-4EJ with 9E’s and 7D’s, u do forget it still has countermeasures and better engine’s than the F-4C which is 10.0 + flareless
the EJ Early will be at least 10.7 not 10.3
