Well, the reason that the best phantoms aren’t from the US is, when those upgrades were sold to be retrofitted to foreign phantoms, the US was balls deep in 4th gen fighter territory, in fact often using 4th gen tech and applying it as a phantom upgrade package (hence the already famous „this phantom has an F-16 radar” phrase). Still, in the future, there are better phantoms to come… like the german F-4F KWS, which carried AMRAAMs, and actually scored a simulated kill on multiple rafales in training
The u.s phantom was still used even in the 80s and was still upgraded even then with the dmas upgrade, the u.s phantom had everything the kurnass 2k has and even the kurnass 2k never used sparrows. The phantom scored a lot of kills against f15s and f16s in dogfight training and simulated scenarios
Except here’s something really funny, the US Marine corps used the F-4E and F-4S until the early 90s, both were equipped with Aim-9L/M, the F-4E was limited to the Aim-7F, but the F-4S could carry the 7F and the 7M. I can understand that Gaijin doesn’t want to give a rank 7 premium, rank 8 capabilities. But there is no legitimate excuse for the F-4E not receiving the Aim-9L and the Aim-7F. The F-4E would likely only go up to 11.3, that’s not impossible to win a dogfight. They could also add an early variant of the F-4E (one without agile eagle).
@@friesingcold It's all block based. The F-4E was manumfactured all the way from the 70s to basically the end of phantom production, being the "Main" phantom variant, and the base for all foreign upgrade packages. It is possible, that late block F-4E had AiM-9L, or that they had this capability retrofitted as part of some life extension programme. Still, the F-4E in game might just represent an earlier iteration of the impressively large F-4E family. Saying the F-4E has some capability is like saying the F-16C has some- some variant at some point likely did, but if production spans over literal decades, it is neither certain nor absolute that any given plane with that designation is the same thing
As an American main I completely understand this, but adding the F-4S as a premium is just insulting. Would've been so much more balanced in place of the F-14 and a meaningful upgrade from the F-4J.
The F4J when it came out in game had the leading edge wing slats, but the value was changed to like 10000 or something so they would never come out. IRL I believe only the F4S had the agile eagle package out of all USN Phantoms.
@@theneef174 yeah people seem to think slats = agile eagle but they forget agile eagle also means solid lightweight wings with the folding mechanism removed, and naturally only the USAF would want that as opposed to the USN
I just wish the early F16s with the PW engine to get a true Max power switch where it would overheat the engine to the point its prohibited to be used in peacetime probably not gonna happen considering there is no real data to base the FM on the emergency max power switch
Not mentioned because it isn't really in your wheelhouse, but this plane also gets vastly superior air to ground armament than any US plane of comparable performance. AGM-65D mavericks (IR, usable at night) only found on the A-10 Late, and laser guided bombs only found on the premium A-6. Trying to use either of those planes in top tier ground RB is essentially suicidal, especially with the addition of the Pantsir.
It does make sense, when the Kurnass was in service, USA already moved on to more advanced vehicles which carried these armaments. We just haven’t gotten those super advanced planes yet.
@@Bobspineable Well I'm kinda tired of everyone else getting shit we invented before we do. I don't see a good reason the mavericks on the F-16 couldn't be a D model instead of a B. Or just give us a plane that doesn't cost 70 dollars that can carry a laser guided bomb that we produced.
@@Kompotamus Expecting Gaijin to do more than the minimum necessary?They made 1 F16 1 MiG29 and one Yak141 thats unique and then copy pasted to every single tree .Thats all these 'big updates'been so far.
@@Bobspineable hey man, id do some more research before talking on this subject because the f-4e carried both agm-65ds and paveway bombs during the 70s and 80s before the kurnass was even developed
The thumbnail says USA suffers yet they have the F14 and Aim7 and Aim9 missiles on it and the F16. Yet the Isreali F16’s don’t even have a comparable missile in game for it and so when they get a jet that that does have these things and not the US, apparently they’re suffering. Love it.
Well to be fair nations (Israel in particulal) have keep flying the older airframe long after the US has moved onto the next airframe this example being the F-15.
People seems to not realize that, why doesn’t US get an EJ Kai, F-104S ASA, etc, of their own, because they have F-16 and F-15. Us is rich, the can afford to completely replace their planes.
@@justsomemainer1384 again it does make sense, US doesn’t need a better one, just design and build a brand new plane or at least a better variant like the C
@@Bobspineable No it really doesn’t make sense to giver better variants of aircraft like this (still in service) to other nations. It’s an American aircraft, America should have the best version
I think I speak for a lot of us when I say I would like to see more videos of you flying stuff you actually find fun instead of another missile boat. Love your content though! You are basically the only warthunder guy I watch cause you're the only good pilot lol.
I actually think flying this kind of jets are good training I fly a lot of EJ Kai and F-4J,and I notice since my airframe isn't that great,so I quickly learn how to pick fight,how to read the battlefield,how to pick out the easy kill etc When I fly F-14 or Migs I know my airframe can carry me out of trouble so I play a lot more careless, running head first in to battle and just start blasting
Just because good players get good matches in bad vehicles doesn't mean they are not significantly worse than the other vehicles you could be using at the same BR. Even if you are in a less capable plane if you use it better then you opponent in a more capable plane you can still get kills.
Isn't the slats on the F-4S meant to be straight up better with much more aggressive drooping for better turning performance while also not being Mach limited?
In your upcoming mig-29 germany video, can you talk a bit about the Radar Mode (SRC PC/SRC PD HDN)? I am struggling to get locks often times on planes directly in front of me, close range and 30km+.
If you look closely, the slats on the F-4J do cover the entire wing area, since the wingtips also fold down. You can manually deactivate them unlike the Agile Eagle Phantoms, which can be helpful in certain situation. At high speed they should perform exactly the same, since the slats on the F-4S don’t deploy above a certain speed, because they would make the plane turn worse. The slats on the F-4J improve its maneuverability and make it pull noticeably more Gs and AoA below 1000km/h IAS. The F-4S might still pull a just little more but it’s not really that noteworthy. Maybe someone can actually thoroughly test the difference, since I could only check the maneuverability by comparing the G overload numbers of both aircraft, because I’m on console, so that’s a skill issue on my part. So if you have the F-4J you might want to just talisman that instead of getting the F-4S. For Sim players the F-4S does have a modernized cockpit so it might be worth it for some people.
With the Gun pod or without the speed lose isn't high enough in my opinion to leave the pod off, after 6 missiles if you have no pod your returning to base and the Pod helps you more often than not. Just my opinion but we all have are own opinions and preferences, but great vid as always.
As far as Israel is concerned, last I checked their F-16 doesn't have access to AIM-7s at all so for them you're kinda stuck with the Kurnass if you want Fox-1s
Overall all missiles are hit or miss rn for some damn reason. One time they will do absolutely nothing and another time they will work properly like they used to.
@@skytron22 some people somehow like it? I feel like you can’t dogfight anymore because once you do you get third party and the one with the most missiles have the advantage
@@bradysidlauskas1519 although most planes with a TWR higher than 1 can go full vertical for a while, you can't do it forever, it's not a rocket, not even an F-22 can remain in a full vertical climb after more than a few kilometres high. And there's also a lot of aerodynamics at play, for example Harriers also have very high TWR and it can't go vertical for long.
@@bradysidlauskas1519 that's not quite what that means. greater than 1:1 means it is able to point itself straight up and fly without falling out of the sky, but it would still lose speed and stability.
That's the super phantom prototype, F-4-2000, that was cancelled, because of US pressure (So they could sell F15s and F16s.) Then, Israel isntead applied only the avionics upgrades to their F4Es, without the engine upgrade, and those Planes, called Kurnass 2000 entered service.
"It's not an F-16" Honestly, that might be a compliment at the moment. F-16 feels horrible after the small second patch dropped. With the exception of fairly low speed stuff which I mean, that's just begging to get killed.
To be completely fair, when the Kurnass was operating, US already moved on to more advanced aircraft as they have the money and resources to do it while others have to make do with older planes.
@@thesupreme8062 but it’s a phantom at 11.7, you’ll be much better off playing a lower BR one like F-4E at 11.0, F-4F at 10.7, or F-4F early at 10.3. Weaker yes but also faces weaker enemies

@Commando Epsilon I think the aim54 was buffed. This past week, I'm at like a 70% hit chance with it. It's been really fun to snipe mig29s with that thing lol. With the trails now it's best not to climb if your not on the America team.
@@faq187tim9 Good to know, I haven't actually played top tier much recently. They may actually be dangerous if you can't see them coming.
If Israel gets an F-4E late, wonder when the US will get one
there is no us one. f4s was their most advanced version
@@SergeantArchDornan2242 So why does the US Phantom not have Pave Spike and Pave Tack systems that were added around Block 53 and subsequentlly retrofitted?
@@noobliterally2145 why are you asking me lmfao
@@SergeantArchDornan2242 Because you said there is no F-4E Late that the US used?
i dont even know why su25 is good in wt. its literally near trash state irl even in ground attack vs manpads
Someone who clearly doesn’t know what he is talking about.
@@FXIIBeaveryou?
@@FXIIBeaver ah yes, the famously effective Russian combined arms tactics and equipment. we'll see t-55's before the year is out
@@satagaming9144 no one said they were effective but your statement that the SU25 is a trash plane is a trash take. Not even the Ukrainian airforce can take control of the skies. The Russo-Ukrainian war is a glimpse into what future wars will look like. It will go back to WW1 and WW2 tactics.
@@FXIIBeaver yeah no i'm not arguing with you. enjoy the crayons and glue.
F-4S isn't even properly implement. Its not even using the proper weapons
Of course the Chinese plane user teamkills you lmao
how dare you even imply that the premium is better that the techtree variant. must be a lie since this never happened before. (sarcasm)
Okay
Why is the US tech tree so shit compared to every other nation?
