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 cool, however, no aim-9J please. It's another case of germany suffers.
have you ever tried german top jets? lol
Must coddle Germany
You must be joking...
Ah yes, Germany has been needing a top tier jet outside of the MiG-21MF and the semi outclassed F-104 and when they finally get one to fight against Mirages, MiG-21bis, etc. its a Phantom which is fine but its a god damn event Phantom when it should have been a teach tree Phantom unless they plan on adding in another Germany Phantom variety or something better in the future and soon.
they already said they will add the f4f later, look to first page of comments
Dino_Thug, Key word. Later
I hope the AIM-9J is this year gaijins 1st April joke....
I love all the salty people the moment Germany gets a jet actin' like America doesn't get a damn multirole jet every patch lmfao
Wow. After being away for a while it really gives you perspective on just how toxic this community has become. Listen to yourselves, honestly. You're all talking about this as if you've all been flying this vehicle for most of your lives and it's the end of the world that Gajin has chosen to do this. If this petty thing really stresses you all out then find something else in life to do. The community will be a lot better off without you.
Hopefully Germany will also get the tree phantom.
You should re-read the article :)
Stona_WT, oof
FINALLY THE GERMAN PHANTOM!
I assume this is an event vehicle not a premium?
Once again the Phantom was a Naval fighter the US Air Force is the biggest joke but Gaijin entertainment loves to put out air Farce Versions of planes made for the Navy and Marine Corps the F-4 and the A-7 thank god the Zoomies didnt fly the Crusader as wed no doubt see the sir farce version
Did you just have a stroke? And the A-7D was never a naval fighter.
Kismessi12, Yea that's the point they keep picking Air Force Variants try to follow along . Also read some history the Airforce didn't want the Phantom they wanted there own stuff instead of having naval aircraft forced onto them the most they got was there own variants but instead of honoring the history there are 0 naval variants . Aviators are simply better than pilots the Air Force is the most likely to shoot friendlies dating back to the army air corps .
