DSplayer Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) I know we’re starting off the F-4 family with the F-4E (with Agile Eagle) but what other variants/modifications you guys want and think we will receive? I personally want a F-4EJ Kai and maybe an F-4E AUP.

silverdevil Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 good bet there will be a carrier version. but i am wondering about a cannon. 1 AKA_SilverDevil AKA Forums My YouTube “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” — Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester986 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 My vote for the next Variant would be a Naval variant. The more the merrier but the only other country specific variant I might expect would be a Royal Navy version. I'm not sure the other countries would sell enough F-4 DLC to be included if they're sold separately. The Brits have a pretty strong presence in DCS to probably justify their version though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvroLanc Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Don’t know about anyone else, but I didn’t know much about the DMAS upgrade. It includes lots of goodies to keep the WSO busy apparently, with CCIP for the pilot. Blind and Visual computed bombing modes etc. Impressive stuff from HB.

Kev2go Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) SO heatblur doesn't clarify the block of by DMAS modified phantoms... but that would mean a F4E block 48 or later, since according to the Technical order 1F4E 626 ECP mod 2917 was only applied to aircraft 71-237 to 74-1653 which also means the TISEO EO sensor in the wing. So is it safe to assume the DMAS modified phantom will be F4E block 53 that Belsimtek had planned?

The_Chugster Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 As a Brit I have to hope for the K and M (or FG1 and FGR2)...if not as proper modules then as mods to the inevitable J version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me if its something that would anger the forum gods. There's a blog on the Internet by a former McDonnel Douglas engineer who posts a lot of materials he saved during his 40 years employment, including, needless to say, a lot of F-4 materials of any kind. Plus, look for a website dedicated to the F-4, shouldn't be too hard to find them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggus Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I suspect they'll start with a J because of the Forrestal. Js served on the Forrestal until 1981-82. There were actually Js operating in the Med during the first Sidra incident. A Super J would be nice but I don't think they ever went to sea.

The F-4E can do limited SEAD, with the AGM-45A/B Shrike (and it's various subvariants). The G though obviously has the AN/APR-38 (later AN/APR-47) emitter locator replacing the gun, and as well as Shrike can equip the AGM-78 Standard ARM and later the AGM-88 HARM.

All I can say is that it's not present in USAF series non-nuclear weapon delivery manuals for the F-4E (I've got a -34-1-1 circa 1979, revised 1986 and a -34-1-1-2 circa 1983, revised 1986). Nor is it present in the stores limitations table or airplane loading table in the -1 (for which I've got one circa 1979 and circa 1984 revised 1990). The Shrike and employment of it however, is described in the -34-1-1.

shadepiece Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 The Phantom we are getting is the best possible variant we could be getting in my opinion! As a follow up, I would most like to see a wild weasel G variant, and I hope we get the J for the Navy version. With the updated E version being mentioned already I think the only other one I would want to see is an F-4D to do some more early Vietnam scenarios. 2 Fire only at close range, and only when your opponent is properly in your sights. -Hauptmann Oswald Boelcke, Jasta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig Fulcrum Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 +1, J variant is the best IMHO but a D is iconic and welcome as well. Not to mention about B and C... ...and the wild wiesel... God there are too many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
