The F4E is Dangerous Again - War Thunder

[@ForwardKinematics]

It was never just a bomber. It's had that modernized RWR for awhile. It's pretty awesome to.

[@spartainwarrior6445]

It was never just a bomber, it was mostly bomber

[@luckyjack6197]

great video! I really liked the kill shot cams and the highlight of the enemy aircraft. very nice editing, it made the video even more interesting.

[@kuppis22]

The F-4 on your RWR was most likely the F-1. T-2 and F-1 have their radars from an F-4

[@jordancourse5102]

F4E is great until you face a j7E, competent mirage f1, MiG 23ML, or a decent su25T pilot lol. Pretty potent in a down tier too.

[@christopherchartier3017]

The 23ML’s flight model is getting a nerf and sorry but, nah the Su-25 even with R-73’s doesn’t beat a Phantom. Also I’ve had no problems with Mirage F-1’s personally

[@nimbal3304]

I'm really interested to see how the MiG 23 nerfs will shake up the 11.0-11.3 meta, cause at the moment I agree with you, at 11.0 or above its fine until someone competent shows up in a 23 or a Viggen

[@jordancourse5102]

@@nimbal3304ikr that’s literally the reason I haven’t touched the f4E in a while. I think the MLD would still be good wish it’s leading edge slats in the rate but all of the 23s getting rate performance nerfed. Someone found some reports that basically said the MiG 23’s performance with the wings all the way out wasn’t good at all which was shocking. So we’ll see.

[@jordancourse5102]

@@christopherchartier3017most mirage f1 pilots don’t understand its flight characteristics.

[@christopherchartier3017]

@@jordancourse5102 the MiG wasn’t really all that maneuverable irl. And yeah the F-1 can be good, but it’s a little weird imo

[@TazziedoesWT]

If this thing ever gets its Aim-9L's or Aim-7f's, it'll be bloody awesome in WT. I love flying this thing in a downtier, uptier it starts to suck. An avionics/ armament upgrade would definitely make it fit in that higher BR.

[@magicmissile7533]

Just so you know the british tech tree phantoms are the same br as the F-4E with PD radar and spey engines...

[@chukuma4760]

without agile eagle, it cant maneuver at all the f4e can outturn a max fuel f16 at 2m of fuel and the radar isnt a big problem at the br. f4e is better imo

[@magicmissile7533]

@@chukuma4760 British phantoms are better for the br, and why would you ever think to dogfight in a phantom in this game

[@Phoenix1.s]

@@magicmissile7533 its nice to have incase the situation arises

[@YoRHaUnit2Babe]

this combined with Mavericks on those PvE guys. good range in headons, no flares will save Your target, no chaff can distract them. only downside is a max 4G overload

[@anthonyrivera1727]

Only chads know to fly the Phantom. You should check out the outrageous kurnass 2000.... Python 3s

[@isaaclouis4074]

I just spaded the F4E and it’s been such a blast, even when getting up tiered!

[@ultimatewarden1168]

What is this about asking for PVE in sim being bad because I’ve done it countless times where everyone on both teams just attack ai to grind SL and research points

[@sterlin_merlin1632]

I was just playing this thing yesterday in Air RB and it feels overtiered entirely. However in Air SB I slap with this thing

[@dawae3080]

F4E POG, fucking love that plane

[@BLTsandwichDJ]

nice flying dude

[@Promethean_NZ]

Any tips on using the aim7s? It's near impossible to lock anybody that isn't at altitude which everybody is always hugging the deck. Looking at DCS now, although their missiles aren't the best due to being able to heat track through clouds their ground radar doesn't nearly disrupt sparrow useage as warthunder's does.

[@YoRHaUnit2Babe]

did people actually use this masterpiece as a bomber? because I absolutely love it's air to air capability

[@starfleethastanks]

Come to DCS! Heatblur is your savior!

[@zbee-nah-lah]

why does the wt f-4e have the f-4b/c cockpit?

[@major_kukri2430]

because gaijin is lazy

[@zbee-nah-lah]

@@major_kukri2430 makes sense

[@pko6596]

which F4E are you flying? the isreali one i think is the best since it gets aim9G's instead of J's and the japanese Ej variant is by far the worst since it gets normal aim7E's and worse rwr and no wing slats

[@ratze7723]

Ever heard of the F4ej *kai*? It gets 9L s and 7f s

[@pko6596]

@@ratze7723 i meant the 11.0 phantoms or in air simulator 10.7 yes i heard of it but its basically f16 weapons radar and rwr on a phantom and trust me the stock grind is not fucking worth i have it spaded

[@nimbal3304]

The US F4E, i'd like to try the Kurnass but i have to spade it first 🥲

[@Altra2503]

@@ratze7723 Yeah but at 11.7 you're fighting way more capable plane with the same missile, while you're still stuck in a F4 chassis with no wing slat

[@Tobias-wb6kd]

Kurnaas has better IR missiles but doesn't have the AE slats from the US F-4E.

[@nnktv28]

try the MIG23ML, its literally a SL printing beast in sim

[@valentinobreganski1423]

Love the videos,can you play some props?

[@mamarussellthepie3995]

Needs its radar upgrades and 9L/M/7F/M in a seperate version. . . (F4E late) lol

what do you play with? any tips for keyboard and mouse?

[@MrRodrigofb]

Great video

[@cptstratboss8561]

It’s has never been a bomber

[@cofro3284]

No chaff? It this tier chaff defeats any Russian radar you meet.

[@Harryw007]

Said missiles are also only 10G so they are easy to kinematically defeat too

[@patriktoth6258]

Manouvering also defeats it

[@bvsveera]

Wish I was having a better time flying this/spading others in the 11.3/11.7 uptiers it faces most of the week these days :(

[@Harryw007]

It's great in sim, shite in rb

skill issue, constant 5-7 kill games in downtiers and at least 3 kills in uptiers if u play it right

I fucking LOVE dropping 6 kills in this plane, it’s SO FUCKING EASY!!! Almost every damn game this happens defo 70% or higher Idk about you but it feels like it needs an up teir almost because it’s not suffering enough 😂
