Phantom II F-4E Rhino

50.3k Stingray  5.3 years ago

The Phantom 4E upgrade variant of the 1960’s fighter jet contained a new M61 Vulcan cannon, and carried missiles for ground threat interdiction. Four AGM-88 HARM (Supersonic Cleavers) hit Jundroo ground threats at 10 miles. Twenty-four AGM-45 Shrike missiles (Infernos) hit Jundroo targets at 3.4 miles. M61 Vulcan gun has a range of 3 - 6 miles. Easily eliminate Jundroo targets that light you up with radar!

    @Stingray Yeah, the F-4 is one reliable old workhorse. Combat pilot stories are the best and I can only envy you getting to hear them first-hand, unlike the sanitized versions most of us get to read about, if at all.

    One of the better ones I read was about the A-12: the pilot gets in place behind a tanker for aerial refueling, and the boom operator says to him, "You don't want to go supersonic in this aircraft, sir." Pilot asks why, as she handles just fine. Boom operator goes "The left side of your aircraft is missing, sir." Turned out the blackbird had lost all its radar-absorbent panels on the left side, from the chine and wing leading edges.

    Due to your question: I always test before I upvote anything on SP. I found a single eror on the old post, and I would not have upvoted it, myself. If a builder says planes fly, they should fly. If claims of weapons having effective ranges, they are tested, Note: these are very special weapons. And extremely effective. @Spectre2520

    Agree! Again, my liberal interpretation of what once was the top-of-the-line international fighters. I know an Ace USAF pilot who now works for Lockheed and had interesting stories about the Rhino in combat times. Old F-4 still in use by Pakistan and others today.

    The gun is yours, the missiles are adapted, mostly from some of your numerous posts, for mobile users like me via standard designer desktop nudging.

    The Infernos are scaled and effective: the user who scaled them to that size is no longeer on SP; each 3.5 mile strike range mini-inferno has the same wallop as the stock Jundroo Menu missile. FYI. @SledDriver

    Thx for noticing! I’v deleted prior public posts. Simply, the prior post you upvoted could not release all of the highly-modded cleavers. Discovered upon an android download. The body is fairly basic menu stuff. The weapons are from various @SledDriver posts, with tweaks of my own via the basic designer desktop provided by Jundroo. @Spectre2520
