Also now that 14.3 air is coming does that mean all nations without a 14.3 are going to get something on PAR or should we expect the nations with 14.3’s to get new vehicles before the aforementioned lacking nations?
except it wasnt. the ICE added BVR to an airframe that didnt have the capability before. the F-4F became a BVR capable interceptor, whilest prior to that, it was mainly used as a CAS platform that could defend itself with some shortrange heatseekers.
Many aircraft could have better missile loadouts but do not in game. The F-4F is not an exception to this. Much like the F-4E and British Phantoms too.
Once again, weaponary is subject to balance and the devs discretion.
F-4F was the baseline model with cheaped out internal from the US, the other was upgrade ergo different variant entirely for an entierely different role and purpose
