F-4 Phantom Style aircraft

[hexed raptor]

Modernized F-4 Phantom style plane, can fill the role of SEAD (taking out surface to air missile sites)

[amber garden]

What does it add new feature wise?
(Read the #faq please😭)

[crisp oxide]

It has, but you can emulate its performance by flying the F/A-26B, only carrying full CFTs, 4 AIM-7s on the belly, a 2200L fuel tank on the center, and 4 AIM-9s on the wing pylons. Either that, or play the F-4 mod.

[hexed raptor]

I thought that mods are broken on the new versions of the game

[crisp oxide]

That's why you have to revert to 1.7.3

[hexed raptor]

Ok let me think of what it could do different

[crisp oxide]

The only thing I can think of that it can do specifically, is by having analog systems only, no MFDs, no digital HUD, all steam gauges.

[hexed raptor]

that would be cool

but

why not just modernize it like the f-14

[amber garden]

While yes that would be cool, doesn't really fit with VTOL being near future

[amber garden]

See my message above😅

[hexed raptor]

I edited my thing

it could be a SEAD plane

[amber garden]

We already have that in the ef-24🤣

Something NEW feature wise

[hexed raptor]

what did the ef-24 add new feature wise

and its an electronic warfare plane

not sead

[amber garden]

With RWR triangulation, and every ARM in the game, with specialized jammers to jam SAMs, decoys to help with triangulation and jamming

It doesn't get more SEAD focused than that

[hexed raptor]

Sorry ive never flown it

i just assumed it was for air to air jamming

[dusk ravine]

The 24 has 188s?

[noble pendant]

yep

[dusk ravine]

ah nice

[noble pendant]

88, 88S, 126, 188

[hexed raptor]

ngl i think i just want a cold war VR flight sim

but my pc cant run dcs vr

[amber garden]

Don't get me wrong that would be fucking awesome, but it doesn't fit with VTOL's style of gameplay

[hexed raptor]

I play DCS more than VTOL so I like less screens and more gauges

I feel like modern planes make it too easy

[amber garden]

That's kind of the point

Simple to pick-up, hard to master

In the f-4 you need a few pages in a manual to even be to SEE targets on the radar, let alone lock them

[noble saddle]

the 24 is literally the best SEAD aircraft considering it has the best SEAD missiles, and cont be shot down assuming you can use the jamming suite properly

[dusk ravine]

I swear no one reads the Steam description of VTOL VR

[errant knoll]

I like this but the one problem is that baha wants to focus on making near future style of aircraft, so I don't think we will be getting anything like this anytime soon unfortunately.

[crisp oxide]

True, which is why we have mods available from talented individuals.

[remote cape]

We just got a cold war style plane designed for taking out SAMs…

[hexed raptor]

I get that its supposed to be futuristic

but F-4 sexy

[remote cape]

we have an F4 phantom mod
