The f4c is horrible

i disagree, the F4-F-Early has it worst, its the same as the F4-C but without the Radar missiles, no flares and its the same br as the F4-C

f-4c has radar missiles but aim-9e which is 10g
f4f early has aim-9j at 20g but is 10.7 instead of f4c 10.3
imagine facing 11.7 with your flareless heat seeker only phantom lmao.
wrong

but the radar missiles suck quite a bit no? and f4f early gets better heatseekers

Carry some outboard FFAR pods, they can act as a secondary heat source for missiles to lock onto.

but the F4F Early looses 4 radar missiles

it boils down to player preference but imo the f4f early shouldn’t be at 10.7 if the f4c is at 10.3

They are AIM-7D though, they suck
