And these would be?

Spain, Switzerland, the Finnish, the Canadians, Malaysia. The Aussies used to use them too

That's what I thought so apart from US we'll get the finnish one and possibly canadian / australian one for UK.

 

Tho.. there's no need for these aircrafts currently and there won't be a need for quite some time (Sweden aside).

Yeah, I’m guessing it will come in the same patch as the F-18(or maybe the next after that)

 

I think you mean F-15. But yes. F-18 if made would still come with F-15 or after it, cause F-15s can be added to more tech trees at the same time thus less work for Gaijin.

But F-4F ICE should come soon for sure, and likely before F-18.

Finland, and USA. That's it. At least for nations currently in tech trees.
Meanwhile F-15 goes to Japan, USA, and Israel without any sub-tree stuff.
And Sweden gets Gripen this year so F-18 isn't needed. No one needs a 10x AAM jet right now.

Different F-18. Hornet and Super Hornet are two different jets.

legacy hornet carries double rails for amraams and aim-9s on wing pylons.

4 wing pylons = 8 missiles + 2 fuselage missiles + 2 tipwinders

 

at least the C model, idk about the A model.

Oh I thought this upgrade was carried only for the Super Hornet... Nevermind then

yea there's actually no single amraam/aim-9 rail. its either dual rail or nothing. thats why you sometimes see them with a dual rail and just one missile

 

kinda off topic lol

I wonder F-4F (late) from Luftwaffe's in tech tree rank 7 to be able to use AGM-65D & AGM-65G Maverick in real life ?

It could carry and fire AGM-65B and D. Not so sure about the G

We have a "Suggestion" with Enough Evidence thanks to the Mod^^

Hopefully Gaijin will add then (D)

I've sent a message to WTD 61, lets hope for a fast and positive (for us) answer.

Any response yet?

No, sadly.

I asked the "Military History Museum of the Bundeswehr in Dresden" and got a response from then, sadly they have no data about it, but they send it to there our branch at the Berlin-Gatow Airport.

The F4F has such a nice BR atm. I faced barely any up tiers and people here are like, SCREW THAT I WANT AIM9Ls and higher BR to completely ruin in it and make it again, beyond useless.. 

i don’t get these people.. 

Just wait until the ICE and you can be happy to have a damn phantom with sh!tty flight performance at a super high BR because of AIM120s..

10.7 is such a nice BR for the F-4F Late. The CMs, awesome flight performance and 4x 9Js does work quite well considering you are facing 10/10.3 premium shitters.

Thats true, Aim-9L aren't very good at BR over 11.0.

Imagine if the older F-4F flight model was still in game. You could hit 1450 IAS on the deck with a clean config on min fuel. As much as it can be... addicting to get newer better missiles and such, I think it would be best if it remains at 10.7 with 9Js. I know it used 9Ls IRL but Germany will see the ICE Phantom with all the goodies at some point.
