It's sad but... we've found out that Luftwaffe used AGM-65Ds and 65Gs! This means F-4F can actually get night ground attack capability (because it was also the only aircraft in Luftwaffe service to use Mavericks), @Smin1080p , are the devs aware Luftwaffe operated 65Ds and 65Gs on the F-4F?

Where? Any source?

Speaking of F-4F and air-ground ordinance, anyone got any more info on the Sensor Pod carried by this F-4F ICE?

The "sensorpod" was used during the testing of the IRIS-T, basically just to take different measurements.

Best reported with any evidence. 

[Godvana 533]

More pics of AGM-65 on F-4F but I can't ID the type.

*This is an F-4F painted in USAF colours during training, which was a requirement of the US

Is there a Typo in the title?

F-4F Peace Rhine lacking AGM-65D and AGM-65G Maverick missile.

Yes, there was. I already edited it.

[Dontkev@psn 1,300]

But in the end, I dont thing thats enough for Gaijin to change it

[Dontkev@psn 1,300]

Maybe it would be an Idea to ask the Bundeswehr about the Maverick on the F-4?

Based on the colours, they'd be either AGM-65B or AGM-65G

I think that one's an AGM-65D (at least that is what the two stock image sites selling the image say it is).

[Dontkev@psn 1,300]

Well must be real, ChatGPT confirmed that the F-4F did carried AGM-65D's

 

But it also says that the F-4F carrys Aim-7 Sparrows...

At least some of those photos are AGM-65Bs though. For example the missile in this photo:

Has AGM-65B written on the side when viewed from another angle:

The other photos are too far away to tell what missile they are.

I got an answer from him, he doenst now it right now, but he will look into it on monday,when hes back at work, but even tho the F-4F is in germany since 2013 out of service, they are still a lot of (secret) stuff about it

First one might be a D/G but quite confident the second two are Bs

D/G have an opaque amber/golden colored sensor window for the IR seeker made of zinc sulfide, rather than a transparent glass one
