as someone who uses the 23ml as an sl grinder i’ve learned to love the rwr. warning from the left or right? point your nose till it starts hitting both the side receivers. now if only it had launch detection😞
Despite the common misconceptions, I dont believe the Phantom ever got a single gun kill. Even if it did it wasn't many. The same is true of the vaunted Crusader "the last gunfighter" which got something like over 90% of its kills with missiles. The main flaw of the Phantom was its lack of maneuverability in combination with the RoE which required it to throw away its advantage of long range radar missiles in order to visually identify enemy aircraft.
Do not dogfight, pick out you targets using tons of missiles you have. AIM-7Fs are pretty great for headons and you can launch them from even 10-15kms away without worry for it's range(my record was scoring a hit launched when we were 50kms apart). AIM-9Hs are safe to launch from 3-4kms always in side aspect. Phantoms with slats (F-4E, F-4F, F-4S) are usable in some manouver combat, Phantoms without them (F-4C, F-4J, all British Phantoms) are complete bricks and should NEVER be used in any kind of dogfight, no matter how small. In terms of tactics, you much be either a ground hugger to multipath all these incoming Fox-1s and Fox-3s or be constantly ready for a notch, meaning not flying straight at a target the entire time. About 45 degrees should be fine so you have room for a quick turn.
You can select targets on radar anyway, honestly c Value for hmd is for ir missiles but this thing gets rear aspects when it's well into the full aspect missile br's
If you are in anyway competent at the game, you can grind much faster in an f4s. The f5c a terrific plane, but it's armament and model makes it difficult to make quick work of an enemy team and some of your best games will only net you 2-3 kills becuase of it.
I want to get into war thunder content creation. I’d like to get into partially educational videos and a lot of fucking around. I’d like to play together and pick your brain about stuff, if you’re interested
Was able to spade my Yak-141 easily during the sale, salute to all F4S buyers
12.7 is gonna be wild 😂

Man that poor A-4E at the start, prayers to him 🙏
hold on. the f4s historically flew with AIM 9 L'S not H so why doesn't gaijin give it its proper missle?
Theres alot of aircraft in game like this, just balance reasons and gaijin being gaijin.
@@FairchiidRepubiic yeah, balance, when youre getting spamraam'd and fulcrum'd, while your sparrows have a 50% hit rate at best
@@BichaelStevensamraams at 12.0? Was there an update?
Yes… more juicy F-4S players for me to farm in my SU-27
Imagine bragging about beating up on a jet from a previous era. Lmao.
@@matthewpowell1670 trash take tbh
@@matthewpowell1670 cry more XD
What a vid man, the soundtrack (chefs kiss), definitely a sub w notifications on.
USAF skill issue, Navy got a 6:1 air to air kill ratio in Nam without the gun
I got the NA Harrier because I was traumatised by the lack of CAS in the Japanese techtree and let me tell you, it's phenomenal. 8-9 kill ganes
Would make a vid on it if I actually had it, maybe one day if I get the partnership program with gaijin
for such quality content, i had to subscribe
5:05 🙂
Give me more. Im gonna go nuts with the A-10C.
no way fairchild dropped an absolute banger on a monday night!!11!1
What do you all think about the Mig 21 Lazur M?
Awesome video man keep up the work 👍
I love the f4s because i can get sparrow kills from 20km away
Not believing you. Sparrow can barely kill at 6km
@@matthewpowell1670 High altitude head-on shots can easily reach further than 20km, Sparrows are just easy to defend
would love to do a collab with you mate. recently found your videos and absolutely loved it.
Why did the navy put the f4es rwr on this for fucks sake
Very cool video!
A how to play the phantom would be appriciated.
I'm very frustrated with how I try to fly this thing.

It only took 2500hours without hightier premiums
is peace frog the only song you listen to
cool video though
BUY IT!
So I can farm you in my mirage 2000
Road to 50 subs!🙂
45th.
Bro I bought the F4s before the sale😅
Would you still suggest this ?
yup, f4s still slaps
@@FairchiidRepubiic Thank you for taking the time to reply o7
Please do a video on how to play the f4s
just watch defyns video on the F4S
@ ok i will
You can select targets on radar anyway, honestly c
Value for hmd is for ir missiles but this thing gets rear aspects when it's well into the full aspect missile br's
Good video and great animation -- but the content is way too generic. Basically a review + "buy it if you want it". 4/5 !
w take honestly
@@FairchiidRepubiic your second video is very original, I liked it. Keep it up! :) you got one sub ;)
cover all the US ground premiums next to find out which is the best one
please do not do the mistake of buying the F-4S its so shit lmao, if u want a premium buy the F-5C instead

This is a weirdly worded comment lmao, If you've got questions and whatnot you can dm me on discord (maxwell1155)
@ we can’t all be not drunk at 11am
what about the Mig21 bison is it a good premium
12.3 so you fight top tier and you have a bad flight model but you have R-73 and R-27R and T
