A Gorgeous Premium That's Terrible to Fly | F-4EJ ADTW War Thunder
Ойындар
Just like the Mirage F1C-200, this is a choice of the lesser of two evils. It works, but... honestly it feels like it's probably the worst of the premiums, with only AIM-9Ps, AIM-7Es (not E-2s) and lacking agile eagle, it does not even have the speed of the F-104S. It's still the best way to grind Japan of course, and it can work... just not as well as something like a F-4S, MiG-23ML or Kfir Canard.

I still would prefer this „ok“ phantom on 11.0 over the f104s because it doesn’t need to remove the gun for two aim-7e‘s so the f104s should get the aspide missel to compensate its missing gun

People who still use the 104s are legit fans of the jet like myself and sort of the how the bombers are currently in the game (extremely unfortunate situation) and use them both regardless it’s not the best at any of the models br, and the rest are wallet warrior dumbys whom bought it with daddy’s credit card assuming it will be good and then get smoked evvvvery single match then talk shit clowning it lolz.. but honestly it’s the truth lol

The f104s is better. It is fast at least and the radar on the f4ej is bad, that i would prefer to just take 6 aim9ps either way.

While the gunpod add drag, the F-4E has a heavier nose do to the internal gun, so I wouldn't be surprissed if hardwing E's performed worse in a 1-circle than the F-4C.

I got a Free Talisman for the OG EJ like 2 years ago and back then I was ectasic about it. When the F-16AJ came out, ofc I used the EJ to grind it due to the talisman and my EJ Kai being stock (nothing on this earth will make me stock grind a 11.0+ F-4 ever again) and man that was a fucking struggle. Edit*: The plane should either drop to 10.7 or get AIM-9P4's with all aspect capabilities.

HTTYD outro caught me off guard hahah. The snail has been blessing me with a lot of downtiers lately so I've been doing rather decent in this jet, I just wish they moved top tier up to 12.3 so this beauty would be much more comfortable to fly..

The EJ ADTW is a great Lions grinder There were a couple of other options to go with I feel, the RF4EJ while losing the gun could probably use AIM9L I'd find it hard to recommend the plane outside of bombing, but I really hope Gaijin either review and replace the plane as you said about the mirage or buff it somehow.. being a copy paste of a far powercrept tech tree jet it really doesnt deserve being the premium option

It's a weird thing to balance. It's got good radar missiles, just nowhere near as good as what it faces. It's got ok ir missiles. It's got okay flight performance (I guess). It has counter measures. I think it'd be hard to move this until some decompression happens.
