For me add AIM-9L but decrease BR to 11.7 for Air RB & Air SB
You are vastly overrating the F-4J UK. It’s not as fast as you’re thinking nor are those radar missiles as crazy as you think when shot from a phantom. If anything people need to learn notching earlier anyway.
You can’t do both
he kinda is but kinda isnt.
The Skyflash DF would be the 2nd best radar missile at the BR if it was 11.7 (the R24R is superior on the Mig 23s but they have a far inferior radar)
However his argument still falls flat on its face when the missile basically exists at 11.3 with the Ja37C and F-4E both using AIM-7E2s (which are functionally Skyflashes), and with the JA37C having a PD radar at 11.3… and being Faster-
So yeah he isn’t overrating the weapon, more so is ignorant to the existence of this weapon at far lower battle ratings, on equal or superior aircraft.

Correct. The F-4J UK should just go to 11.7 as 9Ls wouldn’t fix its place at the BR, it’s a platform issue in that regard. 11.7 with 9Gs is perfect.
The FG and FGRs however are too good to be 11.7 but they should get 9Ls due to the Viggen having them, on a better airframe-
