About
The F‑4E Phantom II is a Tier 6 U.S. twin-engine, two-seat fighter-bomber designed for all-weather and long-range missions. It adds an internal 20 mm M61A1 cannon, an “Agile Eagle” slat system for better maneuverability, and has strong radar and radar-warning gear
Playstyle
Use it as an energy fighter: climb fast, engage from medium range with AIM‑7s and AIM‑9s, and close in with its internal cannon. It can carry bombs and rockets for light strike duties, but avoid heavy loads—unload before a dogfight to stay agile .
