Stackup Posted May 18, 2024 Posted May 18, 2024 This video has some good shots of F-4B's launching on some kind of ground strike mission. Note how the naval variants of the F-4 can carry Sidewinders and a full TER of 3 Mk-82 bombs at the same time. Also some A-6's and an F-8. 5 Modules: F-14A/B, F/A-18C, F-16C, F-4E, F-5E, FC3, AV-8B, Mirage 2000C, L-39, Huey, F-86, P-51, P-47, Spitfire, Mosquito, Supercarrier Maps: Persian Gulf, Syria, NTTR, Marianas, Normandy 2, Channel, Kola Upcoming Modules Wishlist: A-1H, A-7E, A-6E, Naval F-4, F-8J, F-100D, MiG-17F

The Navy F-4s and USAF C/D which used the Navy pylons could do that, yes. The F-4E has a different pylon system which could not carry those loads and clear with a pair of Sidewinders.

I'm aware, this has been covered multiple times, hence why I said the NAVAL variants could do it and never mentioned the E once. Edit: If you've got a different source, I'd be interested to see it, but only a few early C's ever used the naval pylon (LAU-17/A) and the D never did, both recieved the same (MAU-12) pylon the E had since they were USAF birds. This means that along with not supporting the Sparrow, the USAF birds couldn't load Sidewinders and a TER at the same time without using the Special Weapons Adapter. The MAU-12 was also incapable of ejecting the inner pylon, unlike the LAU-17 which could. https://phantomphacts.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-f-4-inboard-pylons.html Edited May 19, 2024 by Stackup Modules: F-14A/B, F/A-18C, F-16C, F-4E, F-5E, FC3, AV-8B, Mirage 2000C, L-39, Huey, F-86, P-51, P-47, Spitfire, Mosquito, Supercarrier Maps: Persian Gulf, Syria, NTTR, Marianas, Normandy 2, Channel, Kola Upcoming Modules Wishlist: A-1H, A-7E, A-6E, Naval F-4, F-8J, F-100D, MiG-17F

He was with the vigilantes so that may have been him behind the stick of one of the birds in the video 1
