Awesome vid man! I take 31 minutes without a tank and it makes me more than enough maneuverable. It last last more than enough for a full match with a heavy amount of afterburner!
A note on the F4E model of phantom, of the 11.3 phantom models It has the most advanced Agile Eagle dogfight slats for its br, so you can really surprise people and force them to overshoot when they were expecting an easy kill
F-4E is solid although you lack the Pulse Doppler Radar, HMD, and AIM-7Fs, you don't fight 12.7/13.0 Jets with the new BR changes moving it to 11.3. So no F-15s, F-16s, MiG-29s, or F-14Bs. The most you'd see are F-14A spam and they can only take up 4 players in the match. If you're going for one Phantom and you never used any before the F-4E is a good learning Phantom that doesn't throw you into matches against a lot of really good top-tier jets. You get the Agile Eagle to help you out in turn fights and can turnfight most other F-4s except for a sustained turnfight against an F-4C since it's much lighter (don't remember though). However, with the F-4E's speed, you should easily be able to outrun any jet that can beat you in a turnfight and take on any MiG-21s once you get the hand for it. The AIM-7E-2s are also really solid in closer engagements since they track much faster off the rails than AIM-7Es, just don't rely on ACM mode for everything. The main problem I've had was its horrendous stock grind of 2 x AIM-9Es, once you get past that though it's just a smooth sail to learn Phantoms. I will say the only exception is if you want to get the F-14s first, if you do I'd get the J and just power through your really good radar, HMD, and solid SARH missiles. I personally had an amazing time with the F-4J however this was mostly before the recent BR changes putting it at 12.0, so up to you. Still, I'm not a massive expert in Phantoms trying to learn more myself, I also wanted to shout out Tims Variety and JaeK for really amazing in-detail guides for anything in-game that helped me learn them too. th-cam.com/video/47JLD2eDO_Q/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/V3PnPOJQFhE/w-d-xo.html

Doesnt the Kurnass have them to?
I just got this phantom would you say that it’s better than the higher br F4J
Do you recommend f4e instead of f4j in a tech tree? Or maybe f4f ger at 11.0?
