The german F104G actually had AIM9Ls at the end of its service. The reason it has AIM9Js is because it carried AIM9Js during Training in the US, the same reason the german F-4F has them

The most interesting thing in regards to the F-104's gun is that it was technically always meant to have one (the XF-104 had it), but the Vulcan had feeding issues in its earliest incarnation. When the Vulcan was brought to a useable state, that's when it was re-implemented on the F-104A.

[@stinkyfungus]

Absolutely true. Those korean war F86 Aces that Lockheed interviewed asked for THREE things. 1. Superior speed (Both acceleration and top end airspeed) 2. Superior rate of climb 3. Armament that allowed the pilot to use the afore mentioned attributes effectively. Specifically- a 20mm cannon with a radar ranging gunsight, and most importantly, a low on target dwell time. (Meaning an extremely high rate of fire) in the skies above Korea- all of them had learned that having to manuver into an advantageous position on an enemy and then spending time pummeling it with a pair of slow rate of fire cannon or a less destructive array of heavy machine gun fire was NOT the best way to ensure a kill. And many had seen squadron mates get jumped by a Mig from on high while locked onto the tail of a target, for far too long while trying to get enough .50 API into it it to set it alight, or tear a big enough chunk off of it to ensure it wouldn't limp home. They wanted something that would ensure enough rounds struck home to do the job - even if the piper was on target for a fraction of a second. The Vulcan had been part of the starfighter package from day 1.

I actually enjoyed the F-104J... emphasis on -ed. It was the first "modern"/post-Korean war jet I ever got an ace in. This happened last year, when it still only had 4 AIM-9Js and was at 10.7. When the custom loadout option dropped, I was THRILLED that I was finally able to bring rockets as makeshift flares and man were they my absolute saviors. My aced match was like a month or so after the A-10 craze and I've gotten quite used to flaring their AIM-9Ls with the rockets. It was also my main grinder for the F-4EJ and EJ Kai, it will always have a special place in my heart, no matter how horrendous it becomes in the current matchmaker.

[@JollyGreenJames42]

The reason why the F-104 was exported so much was because of Lockheed bribing the government. The plane that should’ve exported was the F-11 Tiger which would’ve have been really cool to see in foreign service.

[@MasaMasater]

The Italian F104G only has 2 missiles instead of 4, so it’s basically a direct downgrade over the German one lol. Also the S used AIM7E missiles, not Aspides, as those are only on the ASA. A funny thing about the gun block though is that there was a bug during the first day of custom loadouts in which you could take the missiles AND the gun, without needing the aim block. I got to keep that loadout so now I am probably one of like under a thousand players who are able to take both at the same time, and it is super funny to freak people out with it.

As someone who fully spaded the F-104J, I can confirm it was painful. And that was a long time ago, when it was at 10.7 with 4 missiles. I will say though, the livery’s are very nice. I just gotta say though, they should just give it countermeasures and move it back to 10.7. I’d prefer that over it being flareless at 10.3. And don’t say anything about “muh realism”, when the F-5C has countermeasures. I mean, Japan already has the F-16AJ, so where’s the issue.

So it kind of one of the aircraft companies with the longest tradition of making aircraft and jets, way more than most American companies whose eventual fate was to be aquired by Boeing, Lockheed, and Northrop.

The main reason for the F104 ASA, well, other than the economic return of commissioning a licence built version, was that the F16 could not go from cold to in the air at Mach 2 in under 3 minutes. And for a pure interceptor, that was way more important than being able to dogfight.

[@jeremygrover5979]

I'm sure it's just a massive skill issue, but I HATED flying the F-104A, because I literally couldn't kill anything with it. You'd think with a Vulcan and the insane speed you would be a God, but I found that it compressed so hard that if a plane pulled a 2G maneuver, I wouldn't be able to kill it because it moved out of deflection range. I think my main kills I got were on a bomber that flew perfectly straight for 10 seconds (I still missed almost half my magazine cause I couldn't tell where the tracers were going), and multiple head-ons, which were not a good guarantee of survival. I also felt more useless in a downtier than an uptier because any subsonic plane paying even a little bit of attention was easily able to avoid me. I generally didn't die, but I definitely got 0 kills in all of my downtiers

[@Nightmare_52]

Fun fact about the 9.3 104 if you squad up with someone with a 8.0 battle rating you can get downtiered even further and fight 262s

The F-104G Widowmaker. Because greed and corruption are more important than pilot's lives apparently..

Can't wait for the me 262 episode 🎉

[@Ace-rp7vr]

If you think grinding the F104 is bad now, try to play it with 4Aim-9B’s 2Aim-7Es with a shit radar, and no counter measures at 10.7 😭 (F104S when added)
