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 was just reading about the F-4. Pretty Cool. This is gonna keep me busy...
Ah yes just buy your way into top tier these days.....godamn jt gaijin....
Is this Jag Killer the F-4 that friendly fired a jaguar in a training exercise after a recon mission near the East German border?
Wasnt that a british phantom?
That was an FGR.2
I don't think it's appropriate to make this one an event plane though...
We're going to make it possible for rich Germans to play in the top tier immediately? That made me laugh.
as if the same players didnt buy the gr1 as well
You have comitted a really big mistake by even thinking of adding this as an event veichle, Letting level 20, 30 and people who havent even reached rank 4 the oppertunity to Get their own phantom is not the most inteligent decision as theyll be dissapointed when they cant perform as they simply doesnt have the experience. thats gonna lead to some really bad matchmaking and clubbfest for those who verse them....
Reminder that nobody wanted this
yey every new player can play phantoms now you should atleast put it like "you can only redeem it if you are atleast Rank5" or something like this otherwise were steering totally into P2w.
All these people reeing about 9Js... okay gaijin i dare make it historical slap 9Ls on it and just leave it at 10.7 and let's see the teaboo/freeaboo slat flow.
I mean if it would fight historical opponents like the F-14 sure.
__Renzo__, funny way to spell MiG-21. Germany is NATO remember.
Excuse me but wtf, this better be a less grindy event because I want that thing but i dont have the time to play 24h a day for an event plane
