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!

You are all mad, because you are all bad XD
Finally Germany gets something good and not the same weak AIM9B!!!! I'm pretty worried about the people saying it's OP, when USA has AIM9J too. Germany has a discrete top tier so this Phantom will make it better :)
People arent saying its OP, they are complaining because this thing should not be an event vehicle and it shouldnt carry missiles it never carried IRL
Yeah, I verified the flight manual of the Luftwaffe F4-F Phantom II and it said it can carry AIM9E and AIM9J so i don't understand why people are so angry about it, Germany has the top tier fulled out of simple AIM9B so I think they should give them another missiles, Well they should give Britain AIM9G because in real life they used them.
Camo looks great, but its gonna be a rough ride to get it
Congrats on your very own holiday, gayjoob, hope you'll have a cancerous event set up to celebrate August 1st-7th as well.
This is still awful. Giving Germany missiles you tell other factions they can't have.
That isnt even the worst part, main problem here is making a 10.7 everyone who played Germany wanted an event vehicle. People who play the nation arent happy, people who dont play it arent happy either, the only ones satisfied are new players that can now buy their way to top tier super easily which is probably what Gaijin wanted anyways.
Freehraboos getting heated lol.
Another crafting event?? wow oh no
this should be standard tech tree but no you are just money hungry
why bother playing anything other than the german tech tree. it gets everything.
