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!

i dont like to be this person but are you serious? like germany now has 2 of the best top tier vics for both air and ground that can be purchased... like this is insane, not to mention this is going to be even better than the F4E just like every other good jet we have. like germany needs better planes for top tier but there is no reason that they should ALWAYS receive better versions of aircraft that the US built, this thing had to compete with foxbats and tomcats in not fishbeds and phantoms...
Yeah i'm not partaking in a crafting event, i'll just buy it
can't wait to sell it to some Wehraboos for a lot of GJN
Nice Phantom, when Toyata truck with recoiless rifle or DShK machine gun?
the SPG-9 makes sense i doubt the Dshk will ever come.
Dont you freaking do this. take this back and add it to the regular tree. lets just forget this ever happened. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN EVENT VEHICLE. NO JUST NO. SO MANY BETTER CHOICES FOR EVENT VEHICLES FOR GERMANY, WITH HOW MANY PROTOTYPES THEY HAD this decision was made primarily to milk the players money and it shows. your greed is killing your own game gaijin, its getting WORSE every update.
You guys are joking... right? A long waited asked vehicle became a meme grind vehicle?, screw off...
If the event variant, which is the "clearly inferior" already gets Aim-9Js, then i dont even want to know what gaijin fabricates and gives the later variant, probably fkn -9Ls or something.....
I just finally want a F4F in my German Techtree
I'm totally cool with Germany getting a Phantom but can we stop giving Germany an event vehicle at top tier every single event... I mean, as much as I'd like to see France, Italy, Sweden and China to get something, I understand those nations have a limited option with their potential inventory so it's probably better they get something in their actual tech trees. But this is like the 3rd or 4th event in a row in which Germany got a top tier vehicle. Let's try to space it out next time. Pls.
"But this is like the 3rd or 4th event in a row in which Germany got a top tier vehicle" ........ Can you write last 3 or 4 event vehicles please..?
Romek007, The issue is that they shouldn't be adding the best fighter jet Germany will have as an event vehicle
so F-4C for germans nice
It's arguably even worse while being somewhat better.
Raptor064, Its flaout better because Gajub gave it AIM-9Js that Germany never had
Everybody gets Phantoms :o
Oprah loves it
