(Outdated) F-4S Phantom II

83.4k ReinMcDeer  1.3 years ago

McDonnell Douglas F-4S Phantom II Version 1.2
For SimplePlanes

Designed as an interceptor, the F-4 Phantom would use superior speed and radar to fight aerial targets using long range semi-active radar-homing (SARH) AIM-7 Sparrows. However, this philosophy resulted in the F-4 lacking an internal cannon, which would be prove disadvantageous when Phantoms found themselves in dogfights with cannon-armed MiG-17’s, -19’s, and -21’s over Vietnam. While US Navy Phantoms were never received an internal cannon like their USAF counterpart, the F-4E, the F-4J would be fitted with an AN/APG-59 pulse-doppler radar and eventually upgraded to the F-4S, which implemented smokeless engines and later on, the F-4E’s Agile Eagle leading edge slats.

The F-4 Phantom was used by several countries in addition to the United States, including Japan, Egypt, and Israel, among others. Although, naval Phantoms were only used by the United States and the United Kingdom. Read more...

Author’s Notes

  • Controls included in craft instructions.
  • Unstable roll when pitching.
  • When landing, pitch down before braking to prevent yawing.
  • When performing carrier landings, keep AG2 activated until the arrestor hook automatically detaches. (AG2 activates both the NWS high setting and the arrestor hook.)
  • Landing on the carrier while fully loaded with Alt.Config.3/5 is not recommended.

    F-4 Maneuverability-strengthened version, with a air of canard attached. Grayting performance and high AoA performance increased. That's my view to improve F-4's air combat Maneuverability.@reinmcdeer @WolfHunter9111

    @donkski No, that's for when you need to turn extremely tightly when taxiing on the deck.
