    Fun fact about his skin in the intro, he's using a CVW-5 (Carrier Air Wing 5) skin, which is the air wing I'm currently apart of irl, I use a similar skin in warthunder with MY F-4S, which funny enough, despite being lvl 20, I'm pretty good at the game

    Actually the following F-4 has those slats (in the game) besides this: both German, both Israeli, and the US F-4E (but not the J)!
    And I'd say that the new top Israeli F-4 is the best version, do to its built in gun and better radar; +AiM 9Ls + AGM-65Ds also with slats.
    Sadly I don't think the US tree will ever gets a "BIS" Phantom II, do to like with many US jets if u want the best of it, u have to look in other nations tree. Those who actually honored it.

      I'm pretty sure the F4S has slats from a different program to the agile eagle. They are a bit bigger so you can turn harder but lose more speed. Unless I'm confusing it with another phantom in the game

    I got killed a few times by this in my mig 29 already, this thing is deadly especially in headons if he uses an 7F and you don’t fly low to the ground.
    Definitely a good premium plane.

      In a mig 29 you shouldn't be losing to this. The R27 ER is way better in a head on than the 7F since it's way faster. So long as you fire within a second or 2 of the sparrow you should kill the aircraft and make the missile miss.

    I've bought it and it's incredibly good for grinding. With 2 kills (and while still with the 20 days of premium) you can get alot of RP. Its Aim-9's aren't that good but when half the enemies are tunnel visioned you get afew kills. I've noticed the Sparrows seem to crit alot or ignore your radar lock and go for another plane. Whether it's a glitch or not IDK, but sparrows seem to love ignoring your lock on enemies and instead flying right into F14's on your team.

I have to cycle through a couple different locks before I get the right one and sometimes when I shoot the lock disappears even though I still have a good distance and angle on the enemy plane. Any help is appreciated

      even if you have one its a good purchase, if you like the phantoms and want one that is less punishing to use and simultaniously more rewarding, its still a good buy. Plus there may not be anything to research now but there will be in the future and you can research those really quick; it will either way be a great buy for anyone who likes the F-4 Phantom series. The only real downside is the lack of smart ordnance, granted if it had them it would be TV Guided so it would be shit ordnance anyway.
