didnt the f106 carry the vulcan? (later in life)
i’m unsure with this one, like yeah, its a plane
but in the other hand no gun and relying on the atrocious missile that was the aim4
with the contact fuse and all that
like in the sea vixen the red bottom at least has a proxy fuse, the aim4 doesnt so thats where i’m unsure
I meant what I wrote
Always wanted this.
Also fun fact this is the plane George W Bush flew when he was in the air national guard
AIM-4s were actually solid performers and will do decent for their BR in War Thunder. A proxyfuse isn’t even required, as long as the missile has enough energy it’ll hit pretty squarely on an aircraft. Plus you have six AIM-4s to fire off, three SARH and three IR.

AIM-4 Falcons, FFARs, and possible Minigun pods? This sounds like an absolute blast! +1

in a vaccum yes, my worries dont come from the performance of the missile but more or less the servers themselves (the amount of desync shots i have had is annoying).
contact fuse + gaijin servers arent a great mix , unless they give it like a small proxy of like 3-4 meters to acount for server desync

how many AIM-26 could it carry?
One, in the central bay. The center AIM-4s would be eliminated, as well as the FFAR rocket pod.

so it would trade everything else for 1 huge hit?
It would still have two AIM-4s in each side bay (four in total), so yeah it would be taking away a good chunk of the missiles. If I recall correctly the FFARs and the AIM-4s in the center pod can’t be equipped at the same time either.

so 4 falcons and an atomic sledgehammer of a missile?
Yep. And your two SUU-16s, if you want some extra firepower. Do note that the AIM-26A was the nuclear option and the AIM-26B was the conventional one.

yeah i know, but a 250 ton warhead isnt that bad tbh. nowhere near the AIR-2’s 1.25 kilotons
the double miniguns are pretty sweet too
Threw together a quick and dirty potential loadout chart for the F-102, if it came to the game. There’s obviously loads of loadouts possible with all the different combination of weapons, but here’s what each of the three weapons bays AND the two external pylons can hold (to my knowledge).

How well do the Aim-4s perform?
This topic isn’t exactly the place to ask, but you can ask on this AIM-4/AIM-26 discussion topic.
