    The problem that nobody is mentioning its that this plane gets the 12.7 BR due to the AIM-120 but it isnt getting the AIM-120 on a stock configuration so we are going to be relying on basically flight performance while researching modifications while facing frequent 13.0 battles.

    Funny. When people complained about the mig29 & su27 having garbo radars and the FMs being extremely nerfed 90+% of responses were that flight performance didn't matter, as only the missiles themselves count for top tier. So I guess the same goes for the ICE: don't worry, people, it has awesome radar and missiles, FM doesn't matter at all because it's top tier, and if you can't perform it just means you're trash at the game.
    Interestingly, the Gripen with it's casual 14Gs turns was by far the best plane in the previous patches, followed by F16s. Curious, ain't it? I'm just gonna watch the top tier manurefest for the next patches, as clearly it's pointless playing anything but USA & Gripens.

    One relatively easy solution for the armament problem would be giving this thing stock AIM-9L/i, with AIM-9L/i-1 (the same but with a smokeless engine) being the unlockable upgrade. Another option would be giving it 2 free AIM-120A/B stock, with the upgrade allowing you to carry 4. Being honest, if all the functionalities and weapons of the ICE are properly implemented, it shouldn't be terrible as a 12.7, just painfully mid

    And for those saying “No you can’t put AMRAAMS at 12.3” the J8F is at 12.3 and has R77s, and F14 is at 12.0 with Phoenixs. Both of those have a much better flight model too.

    F-4F ICE with AMRAAM only and AIM-9L(i) sits at 12.7 (same br as F-15C/J Kai and higher than F-15A and F-15J) while only having 90 CMs on a platform that's just not competitive at all at the BR is utterly ridiculous.

    Yeah it sucks now but that means literally the only other fighter we can get next in the EF2000. Which I think will come around christmas or the 3 major updates starting from fall to Christmas.
    And even then the F4F ice isn’t completely shit, where is lacks in exceptional flight performance vs the F16 F15 ect, it gains in being an easy airframe to control.
    Its kinda like how the F16A can do alot more than the mig29 yet the mig29 was easier to fly.
    I used this alot having to 1v1 F15s in my F4J (UK) and won many fights because the average F15 players was dogshit and didn’t understand their plane, which most don’t.
    So while we dont turn as hard we usually don’t also G lock ourselves and can take advantage of it.
    So for now its a decent missile slinger and if you know what you’re doing, you’ll still win against the average joe.

    World of Tanks maintains average 1/3 of of matches on every tier you can play ( eg. tier 8 tank plays at tiers 8,9,10 equal number of games) and limits number of tanks on every tier in battle (eg. when you play T8 tank you will face 3 T10 and 5 T9 out of 15 in total). Unless tank sucks in general, nobody cares if it struggles in uptier. Top tiers are happy, because they get to slam everybody and, mid tiers and downtiers are happy because they make up majority and are still competitive.
    I wish Gaijin took a page from Wargaming's playbook and did similar thing.

    @UchihaMadaraGr 7 дней назад +5

    Let's see where this comes from...
    Germany updated some Phantoms to this level until Typhoon's introduction that was ...already late. The major thing, they wanted an AMRAAM carrier... because they didn't have any western plane capable of BVR anyway and especially with ARH missiles that were introduced some years before and they were going to be the "go to" option. Well, in some terms it was for training as well (pretty logical) because the Typhoon would have ARH/BVR as a standard and pilots need to train to that kind as well, so by the time EF introduced , at least some of them knew how to operate AMRAAM and also the ground stuff how to handle and maintain them. And the whole "training" thing...yes it's expensive...so you want to save time and money.
    When Greece upgraded theirs to a pretty similar level, the thing was the AMRAAM. They just wanted more AMRAAM capable planes ... It was more "in case of need, break the glass" solution. With AMRAAM they will go up, shoot and gtfo... they won't tangle with 16s or anything of any origin called a fighter and is 4th gen or above.
    And while Turkey didn't upgrade to that level of A-A (no AMRAAM) , they did HUGE upgrades on A-G equipment, they can even carry Popeye missile!! Which is impressive! Because, Phantom can carry heavy load in general, it was still useful for this.
    So what to expect in the game? Is it on par with F-16s/15s (even 14B) or Su27s or 29SMT... plain and simple.... NO. It's a missile truck. It's good for what it is. Take it as... a spicy little(big) thing, as an option...not as a solution. Would be fun to try and make it work...it will work...as it was supposed to work. Which means ...yeet and yeet....

    Needs to be 12.3 and itll be fine imo. F-4 is an old airframe by that point and having ARH can only get you so far on the F-4. The same was true for the EJ Kai. Old airframe with updated ATA weapons can get you close but not on the same level as something such as the F-15J that replaced it. Maybe even 12.0 depending on how the ICE preforms in live matches.
