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!

come on Gaijin, that's super lame. Even when adding the better version to the tech tree later. Just add both, as you did in the American tree with the C and E variants. It's just not the right choice bringing in high tier planes into the game via event. New players will buy the plane and suck with it. And you, our dear Gaijin will suck in reading statistics and unbalance the plane to hell. GGWP!
why BVVD so love germany? China Italy and Sweden, They even have no a real(good) TOP BR jet
This is because it has the most players and the most money. There is no other reason. =>
Gyrosensor, i dont think so, i think it just BVVD love Germany, he should be born in Germany.
Once again, crafting events are stupid and bad, this is stupid and bad.
I just see the 2PL and this phantom as selling a top tier lineup.
Why grind at all? Shows who's the favorite nation to the devs.
Dozer15, if you have ever played a crafting event, you know you arent skipping any grind
lmao this is more annoying then the mig21pfm BS
PFM did not get R-60s it could carry because "russia never used it with them", only other countries did. F-4F was never used with AIM-9J in german service, yet it gets it because other nations did use it. Both of them can't be BS at the same time, pick one.
michaello_hero, AIM-9J was used on German F-4F's with US markings in training, due to legal bs.
Germany gets another easy top tier, like the 2PL xD (plus is every country gonna get phantoms or something? .-.)
leopard 2 PL and then F-4F. gErMaNy SufFeRs
Seriously gaijin? Ok there is rank VI event, but they are balanced, this thing is NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST, and uses armament it never had. And they gets a phantom II regular too? while they already have mig 21 and the f104? Why germany? That's on the sole purpose of milking german players to buy their way to get this toy as fast as possible...
I agree that AIM-9J is BS, but german F-104 is crap and MiG 21MF is worse than both russian SMT and bis
michaello_hero, smt and bis are just bs, german mig21 is balanced. And that compensate for their bs mi19
So because it's is capable of carrying 9js, but never actually did, it should get the 9js, but America ACTUALLY using the f5a it shouldn't get it? Where's is the logic in this bullshit?
Logic? From Gaijin.
Why not give the Japanese Sabre AIM-9Js now as they could technically carry them?? Might as well as you guys have stopped caring about any sort of accuracy at this point.
AIM-9J for F-104S when?
