I've been flying the F-4 on Redfor and the underlying issue is that I can't do sad because I can't tune the shike to NATO radars specifically the patriot  AN/MPQ-53 radar Is there a way around this I do remember when the Phantom initially came out you were able to tune the shrikes manually  but that seems to not be the case anymore

This is not possible IRL, either. Shrike is essentially a Sparrow with the seeker retuned to seek a specific kind of radar. Later variants had some flexibility, but it was for most part hardwired. Even if it could track Patriot radar emissions (I'm not sure if it can), a corresponding head was never designed, because why would it be? Even if we're considering Iran, Shrike was long out of service by the time Patriot came around, and it doesn't really have the kinematic performance to hit it from outside its range.
