The F-4S would be 12.3 or more likely 12.7 with 9Ls.
Yes, I’m already aware of the under-BR’d F-18A before someone does whataboutism.
F-4J/S already have AIM-7Fs, which are “identical” to 7Ms.

lets use this logic to its final conclusion:
1.0 aircraft are seeing AIM-7Ms and AIM-9Ls, why shouldn’t they have AIM-7Ms and AIM-9Ls?

yes you can? you are clearly showing us that you do not understand the game mechanics present to do so.
maybe if you do it at 10 km range
But 9/10 times it does nothing at 3-4km range that you normally fight at
Phantoms dont normally fight at 3-4km range my dude.
Phantom is a missile bus, not a dogfighter.
It should utilize its long-range SARHs and keep distance.
If enemy gets within 4kms of you regularly, you are doing something wrong.
If you ask Gaijin to model inverted monopulse thing correctly, you will be applying axe to every Sparrow below 7M, not buffing 7M itself.

I’d like to trade 12.0 -12.3 for Aim-9Ls on the F-4J. It would make it unique from the F-4S.
We gonna act like it’s not trivial to just multipath/out roll/notch sparrows?
sure, but do you find yourself fighting at 3-4km range in a phantom 9 out of 10 games?
i sure as hell dont
I thought the only difference was the inverse monopulse seeker? From what I understand is all SARH missiles in game behave as if they already do have it.
I honestly don’t know but I’ve seen it talked about in the forum before so take that with a grain of salt. It’s above my paygrade

I think you can get a decent front aspect lock with a AIM-9B on some of the insanely hot jets in the game. I know it’ll lock up a missile frontally without issue.
The tornado does this right? at least from about 1 km out
if they had it in real life why not
why nerf
also would you say that it should rise in BR if it got the 7E DF?
why would you want DF?
There are ALWAYS easily avoidable. Believe it or not, aerial warfare requires forward thinking and in those situations where you think are “unwinnable” and “undodgable” you just misplayed massively.
It would also make it complete garbage even worse than it is now
We gonna really act like MiG missiles are undodgable?
Because it takes more brainpower than this to form a balanced game. You would have F-4E fighting F-15s because it could carry 7M/9M in its late life.
Considering 7E2 is a STRICT DOWNgrade to the 7F, no.
They would then have to increase the BR to where it wouldn’t be as fun anymore because there’s no way it would stay at 12.0 with its most modern loadout.
