The German Phantom II in a special export version and with a unique camouflage for completing tasks in the upcoming crafting event in War Thunder!
F-4F Phantom II, Germany, rank VI
Pros
- Superb flight characteristics
- A variety of mounted weapons
Cons
- No flares or chaff
- Lacks air-to-surface missiles
In the early 1970’s, Germany decided to purchase a "simplified" version of the American F-4E Phantom II jet fighter: it was assumed that in order to reduce the price of the expensive aircraft, some of the equipment would be produced in Germany itself. So, the export "Phantom" had simplified radar equipment, lost one of its fuel tanks and equipment for refueling in the air. Initial export models also lacked some guided weapons, including AGM-65 Mavericks. The power plant of the fighter had also become a subject of cost reduction by Germany deploying licensed production of the engines.
The new aircraft, designated F-4F, successfully completed tests in 1973, and in the fall of the same year the first fighters from 175 units ordered went to Europe. German "Phantoms" proved to be in the best service and subsequently went through several cycles of modernization, as a result of which the fighters were supplemented with some "missing" equipment that met the needs of the Luftwaffe. The F-4F Phantom II was in service for nearly 40 years - the last deeply modernized "veterans" of the Jagdgeschwader 71 (JG 71) Richthofen regiment went into retirement in the summer of 2013.
The German version of the iconic American F-4F Phantom II jet fighter will be one of the most desired rewards in the April crafting event in War Thunder. The F-4F is an early version of the fighter; in one of the upcoming major updates, the Luftwaffe will also receive a representative of the “Phantom II” series in the regular tech tree. The early F-4F Phantom II can be yours for free in the near future!
Despite the fact that the export version of the avionics of the F-4F does not have modes designed to work with the air-to-surface missiles, it is still a great high-rank fighter and one of the best aircraft in the game. So, the German "Phantom II'' in a nutshell has a maximum speed of Mach 2 (at high altitudes), an excellent selection of available armament, and a unique evil grin camouflage on its nose. A pilot is free to choose from a variety of weapons: bombs up to 2,000 pounds, Mighty Mouse and Zuni rockets, 20mm Vulcan gunpods and three modifications of the deadly Sidewinder air-to-air missiles: AIM-9B FGW-2, AIM-9E and AIM-9J.
The top-tier German "Phantom" will be yours for completing the big April crafting event. More details are coming, stay tuned!

This is a mistake, giving Germany a true top tier tank and top tier jet that can be acquired with money alone I recommend removing the 9Js similar to how PFM lost its R60s, because as it stands this is better than a British phantom in every way, hell even with no flares, Aim7s or 9Js and just with 9Es and an internal gun this plane will be better regardless in a duel due to low weight Either nerf the F4F or buff the FGR's and I will be buying the jet for fashion reasons. either that or a tornado
This one doesn't carry Aim-7, and the historical loadout of Aim-9L is even worse and giving this only Aim-9B would made them place this a way too low of BR
HorexKitsuneNeko, its already getting the 9Es anyways, just leave it with 9Es and 9Bs only
hahahahaha this is a such a bad joke at this point hahahaha literally laughable
So Smin1080p, I'm going to be chill because you're just the messenger, but I am a fan of the British Phantoms. The Aim-9g's were introduced 1 year after the FGR.2 entered service and were the most extensively used Sidewinder on the it. Why does F-4F get better missiles when the "could" carry them when the FGR.2 which did carry better missiles not? It "could " carry Aim-9m's so why not give it that? (I know Sidewinder M's are too good for now but my point still stands) Why not gib Aim-9g's?
Called it. I do hope you guys have a nice fun skin for it like this 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stNa_4Fi5BM&t=14s
Noice, hope I'll be able to get this one. Not that I care about it but it will be worth a ton on the market. I also hope it will be possible to unlock both this and the XM8 AGS but knowing Gaijin, probably not. :) Maybe this and the destroyer at least.
considering that this might get outclassed by its tech tree counterpart in the future, I am curious what the tank counteroffer might be.
According to leak from RU forums, tank for this event should be american light tank XM-8.
"No flares or chaff" Yeah no thanks.
At this point, I wonder why not? It was capable of using them after all, same as AIM-9J BS...
michaello_hero, Stop pointing at their hypocrisy
REEEE
I wonder what the crafting event will follow? What theme?
Please dont bring new high tier event vehicles it destroys high br because then a lot of low level pilots or tankers that only researched rank I and II join jet battles and the rest of the team suffers
