It would work for the factor that most other major nations will have better BVRAAMs, just wait for the cries of despair when fighting Meteors (accessible to half nations in game) alongside the PL-15 and PL-21s from china.
It certainly will not be a fun time to be on the forums
IRIS-T for the Tornado ASSTA1, at a whole lower BR bracket
I just want ground vehicles who have IRL auto-tracker to have it, and those that don’t have it to not have it.
All Tornado IDSs could do with their IRCCM missiles. Especially the 3 at a higher BR for “reasons”
Tornado Gr1 used Aim-9M and A200 and ASSTA1 used Aim-9Li. Considering their BR and low performance. 2x IRCCM missiles for them wouldn’t be that unreasonable.
There’s the AAM-3 capable F-4EJ Kai we can get.
Defo the F-4F, Kurnass 2000, F14A/B, CV90’s, Any Merkava, F1, JA37C, JA37D, Lvkv9040C, AJ/AJS37 etc etc. All of these have armaments or other changes that could be made to make them historical, can’t bother to list em all :/
Please don’t write that as if the AAM-3 wasn’t the main service missile of the F-4EJ Kai normally.
You can argue this is a better implementation for balance, but saying that is the only one that can might be very misleading to some.
I’m speaking of War Thunder, this is a War Thunder forum, this is in Game Discussion rather than Machinery of War section, so yeah… talking War Thunder implementation.
You are being disingenuous here, as I was talking about the F4 which was able to carry and fire Aim-120s. As I have already shown with photos. It is capable of being upgraded to use them, hell now that news broke about the F14AM we can move into how the Iranian F4s were modified to use russian missiles. Like this one shown firing an R73.
This is War Thunder, not the flight line where we down planes for months of revamps, inspections, etc. So again, the F4 is capable of being updated to use Aim-120s. It could also carry the AGM-88 which I think it should have in game:
I also think the F15A should get its second wing pylons and its additional 4 x AAM:
The F15s in game (Both of them) Deserve their inner and outer wing pylons:
You cannot equip outer wing pylons (Stations 1 & 9) on legacy Eagles(A/B/C/D) or Strike Eagles.
Yes and only the F-4F ICE which is the only photo you have shown was upgraded to use them. No other Phantom in game ever received that sort of upgrade nor where they ever considered for that sort of upgrade.
Ok and? sticking an IR missile onto something like a phantom is a lot easier than integrating a fox-3, Iran even put R-60s on Phantoms at some point, and they did similar things to the F-5s they had laying around as well.
why are you even bringing this up to begin with? because unless I missed something there are no Iranian Phantoms in game. (I guess one would make a cool premium or something though)
Yes this is indeed War-Thunder the most game of all time certainly. its very clear that your either being intentionally dense and trolling or actually just delusional.
Repeatedly stating that “The F-4 is capable of being updated to use AIM-120s!” doesn’t magically hide the fact that the only phantom to ever receive such an upgrade was the F-4F ICE in the German tree and that was only after it received a whole new radar,wiring ect to support AIM-120s, No other phantom in game will receive AIM-120s.
If you want to put fantasy load outs on your US F-4E i suggest going and playing Ace Combat or booting up DCS and modifying the F-4Es lua file to carry a load of amraams and go enjoy that if you want it so bad.
or play the German tree, get the F-4F ICE and play that.
While AGM-88 harm would certainly be nice i am inclined to think that we will all have to wait for something like the F-4G for that to ever happen.
There is a Marketplace skin for the Phantom FG.1 that is based off an Iranian F-4D! I always pick it when I’m playing on a desert map.
The Iranians did come up with some nice camos certainly.
1- That IR missile isn’t identifiable, and we don’t have Iranian F-4s in War Thunder.
2- The F-4F ICE is already in War Thunder.
3- That is not an F-15A.
4- That’s not an F-15A/C MSIP II or older.
Based. All missile buses (not counting the Su-27) need buffs.
Maybe I don’t know enough about the F-15, but aren’t those all of the variants?
lol Su-27 is one of the lesser missile buses.
F-4F ICE is even better excluding the airframe.
F-15A is better in every way,
Mirage 20005F and 4000 are obviously superior.
Su-27SM gets closer to F-15 capabilities, but F-15C MSIP II was added so that’s far superior to Su-27SM.
Mig-35 is the F-15C MSIP II equivalent missile bus.
No. There are now the Advanced Eagles. These are the SA, QA, and EX.
there’s no such thing as an AIM-9F, and it has AIM-9Bs already
If I recall correctly, the AIM-9F is also known as the AIM-9 FGW.2, which is a 9E seeker on a 9B
