The F-4e in game is based on the dmas upgrade (digital modular avionics system) f-4e which is a post 1972 upgrade on the existing f-4e airframe that was capable at launching agm-65 mavericks (already in game) and anti radiation missiles like the Agm-45 “shrike” but with saying that it was more common to see them on the f-4g “wild wiesel” but it would be a great place holder for the time being and considering soviet attack aircraft around the same br are getting anti radiation missiles it would be a great counterpart to them
they said not planned for this update
They did? 😢 gee i sure hope the soviet attack aircraft at the same br won’t be oppressive and have 0 counterpart to them
the in game F-4e does not have DMAS upgrade as indicated by the cockpit and lack of the added antenna
there were some airframes without DMAS that could use AGM-65,
however the devs dont really know what the in game F-4E is as they have stated its a generic pre 1972 model
but GBU-15 capability was only added with DMAS after that date

yes but that could also change
also even though it is a non DMAS aircraft it could still use AGM-45 (just probably not AGM-78 or AGM-88)

Thats the weird part about the f-4e in game its a mixture of f-4e variants which is confusing also the f-4e cockpit in game is the exact same as the f-4c and f-4f ice cockpit so its abit of a stretch using the cockpit to tell the difference
that is a problem with the F-4 ICE
because DMAS (and later) F-4Es have visualy different cockpits
from 1970 manual
From 1979 manual
This one is cut into two sections in the scan but its from 1995 manual
although the model is based on DMAS they claim its pre DMAS which is BS, this is the result of slapping a few different blocks of the aircraft together and not just staying with one, this know this, as it had its should be proper armament during the first SEAD events of F-4Es vs MiG-21s, i doubt they will do anything to fix this thought
