This thing is nutty, the 7F + PD radar combo is amazing, and you can get some good 5km snipes with the 9H. While you usually don't get much use out of the gunpod it's great for close range headons, however I would recommend running AP instead of Air Targets since I've poured 400+ rounds of HE into su 25's without killing them. You can safely go without it, but it's nice to have just incase you get on the tail of an enemy.
Yeah the Aim7F is a good missile. When anyone but me is using it. Mine always fail to track, or fail to pull, or go for a single chaff. Yet everyone else seems to have no problems at all with them..
in my opinion this aircraft (the F-4S) Ruined Matchmaker for top tier US around 11.3-11.7 (for F-14) team just evaporates in 2 min and then you have to pull a miracle with half a team against a full team most of the time. I hate playing against a snow ball and hate getting snowballed due to people not knowing how to use their craft
90% of the f4 on the team is more concerned about who claims what base to bomb. Carry in a ton of bombs and by the time you get near the base the mig23 and 29 are already there to gank them. If theyd just kill planes instead of bomber LARP.
Out of curiosity, what are the differences between this and the tech tree F4J? I already have the A-6E but after grinding over 350 games in it I am getting very tempted to buy this during the sales for some difference in gameplay lol
Compared to the F-4J, the F-4S has slats, radar gun lead aka EEGS (Enhanced Envelope Gun Sight), AIM-9H, and Premium. However Multi-target lock, AIM-9L, and possibly AGM-65 are missing compared to its real life version. Finally the F-4S has an unfortunate name which means info about it is a bit difficult to search as search results don't differentiate between "F-4s" and "F-4S".
The only major difference is the wing slats. The F-4J has 9G instead of 9H as well but that's not a huge concern. They have the same engines, radar etc.
"Not gonna kinematically dodge the 7f" is the worst take ever ngl, it's infuriatingly easy to dodge in a Mig29 or 141, and I'd know because I constantly do it, and even in my F4s I've dodged F16's missles then connected with mine. Hate switching to America when the missles feel so lazy compared to an ER
Meanwhile the F-4E gets to deal with all the crappy F-4S teammates, no PD/HMD, the nerfed AIM-7E-2's, worse radar, and AIM-9J's, oh and having to deal with 4th gens that do everything better than it in every way 98% of the time. Glad to see the snail has its priorities in order...
Whats your take on the J35XS? I'm planning to get it whenever it goes on sale (because im not paying $70 for a pixel plane) as I've had the J35A since it released and got up to the A32A but the Draken A is just not it anymore with how many all aspect missiles it faces. The Viggen is my all time favourite jet, they're getting a Gripen soon and with the Finnish sub-tree they might get the F-18 in the future too, so would the J35XS be worth it or should I just grit my teeth and keep flying the J35A until I reach the AJ37 and talisman that instead?
I have recently bought the J35XS and it amazing ,10.7 is a very nice br,always in downtiers and its, 6 20 g missiles + irst slap, I have 3.0 K/D ratio on that thing. Ontop it has one of the highest SL reward at 795% . I grinded the whole sweidsh tech tree in under a month with it and it was a blast all the way
Personally I think the XS would be a better bet if you're willing to spend 30 bucks, the extra missiles are huge compared to the AJ viggen, and I have a super hard time aiming the gun on the AJ since it's way out on one wing instead of mounted close like on the Draken.
Can someone help me? I've been trying to play warthunder today on my Xbox series S and every time I try to log in it tells me, "you cannot play war thunder because you have no internet connection." | know that I have internet connection- I loaded up several UA-cam videos and other games and they all worked just fine. I looked on the wt forums and found a thread from 2018-2019 when some others had the same issue I have now. I have updated the game several times, restarted my Xbox many times, and changed where it is stored on my Xbox. I just deleted it and it is downloading again now. I'm hopeful it will work. Has anyone else ever had this issue? Edit: deleting and reinstalling seemed to make it work again
The canard is good fun, you're incredibly fast for the BR, and while you only have 2 missiles yes the 9Gs are goated. The DEFAs are actually more reliable than a lot of other guns after the realshatter changes ironically enough
Is the two rings when you lock a missile with top tier jets only on specific ones? Because when I lock with my phantom fgr2 (British tree) it shows the green box but only one red circle
got this thing not too long ago, and when I actually don't just mess around with my friends, this is the easiest multi kill plane I have ever flown. I don't think it should be at 11.3 IMO.
Do you have separate buttons for warming it up and firing or the same button? I have separate, I've heard having it on the same button can cause it to mess up
Right now I am in the american tech tree. I am at teir 6 and have a f5c. I was wondering if I should buy the f4s or buy the j35xs and grind out the swedish tree? keep in mind that I will have bought 180 days of premium time has it is on sale
Since you already have the F-5C I would get the XS, more worth since you get an entire tree out of it. Use the F-5C to do up to rank 7, then choose one you like and talisman it.
You might be excellent with this plane, but I see them as free kills. I have yet to be killed by one in a dogfight, though there are a high percentage of wallet warriors flying the F-4S.
@@GeneralLee2000 Ehhh, the LOAL is still a major concern for the USAF and TAC which still isn't very feasible as of now with the current block of the 9X. Not to mention the F-22 really doesn't have any more room, or power to allocate for its processor to handle a HMCS or HMD, but a man can dream.

It's not true pd please be careful
@@hack-cq6hr it is true PD it's just that it's a bad radar compared to newer aircraft
@@bish189 it's pulse Doppler velocity its not a true pd
Damn I think that missile at 3:31 probably had some grass stains on it before it hit the MiG
I am having the worst time of my life with this jet
Yeah the Aim7F is a good missile. When anyone but me is using it. Mine always fail to track, or fail to pull, or go for a single chaff. Yet everyone else seems to have no problems at all with them..
same hahaha idk why, i do the same as the youtube tutorials :(
use pdv, it really shouldnt go for chaff lol
What altitude are you launching it at, and are you in a head-on or more side on
0:20 play of the game right there
😎
I get 3-5 kills in a good game and bring 6 AIM 7Fs. U can lock rear with PD off and if they don’t have chaff and don’t turn down they die

Same issue as MiG-23ML
Dont let him gas you too much. Them 7Fs are a gamble everytime you fire one off😂😂😂
Fr I had to stop watching 😭
Better choice than the A-6e and probably the best choice behind or infront of the ML.
So true!
There is no way that Aim54 should have hit you. You were ON THE GROUND. It should have just faceplanted in the dirt.
He got gaijined

well technically its F4J with F4E/F wing slat. gameplay almost same like F4J but you have more aoa when dogfighting
