The f4j as it is right now in war thunder is clearly too over tiered and performing poorly due to its br placement,i see no reason for a f4 especially one with no pulse doppler radar to be even close to 12.0 in br considering at that br the most common planes that you are going to encounter as ive done multiple times is the mig29,f15,f16 and su27,there isnt a single bit of logic behind an f4 with no pulse doppler radar,standard f4 engines and only a hmd to be fighting against those types of planes,considering its ir missles have the lowest g pull out of all the missles at that br without even being fitted with irccm,while a lot of other planes already have irccm missles,its sparrows are mid,the aim7f can definitelly hold its own even against those planes but the main issue is that it doesnt have a pulse doppler radar so its impossible to lock people when youre below 1.5km in altitude,being above even 500 meters will get you killed all of the time,im suggesting the f4j go down to 11.7 or that the planes i mentioned above be moved up by .3 br to create a gap between planes like the f4 or planes that have no capailities to fight the 4th gen fighters to a competitive level and those planes
Navy Phantoms and British Phantoms has PD radar wdym.
No PD radar? You sure?
well honestly i never knew this,i saw the range scale and the weird search of the radar and thought it wouldnt work at all,but i feel like my point still stands because an f4 with sparrows has no place fighting su27s and all those 4th gen fighters with like 8 r27s or irccm ir missles while its stuck with aim9g
Yeah yeah, i totaly agree that Su-27 vs F-4J its unfair, they need to decompress way more the BR
AWG-10 phantoms are missing quite important mode for PD… They currently have only velocity screen, but real AWG-10 had also Pause to range mode. It worked in PDV, paused on target, focused it on split second, gained range info and showed it on scope. This would enhance its SA significantly. F-4J is overtiered AF… how can be MLD ML/MLD so low when F-4J is so high, i wont ever understand.
this is mostly a suggestion for all people because me i have no serious troubles with it i still manage to squeeze some 5 kills matches out of it and such but not everyone can,and i saw how painful it is for people that just got it or have never played that br against such planes,and learning how to play against 4th gen fighters in a f4 is not it
