F-4S Phantom II USA premium, worth it?

I want a nice premium Jet for USA with flares and air to air missiles

Get the F-5C, its missiles aren't as good as the F-4S but it's much easier to use.

I've got it and as much as I do get uptiered and blah blah, it's a pretty good jet, sparrows are nice, bombs are good, flight performance isn't the greatest but can handle itself. It packs a punch that's for sure. Good for getting Sl and Rp but some people might beg to differ.

Definition of "need fix" = people sucking to use some stuff are thinking the stuff is always incriminated.

That's why, for example, we can have threads with at same time "Germany suffers, buff it" & "Germany too OP, nerf it", related to the very same Ranks.

I dont denie that sometimes a balance would & should be thought about, but incriminating always & so directly the game is a too easy way.

F-4S is literally the best Phantom in the US tech tree. If you know how to use it, you will be racking up absurd amounts of points.

However, you really need to know how to use it. If you have no knowledge on radar and best employment tactics of Fox 1 missiles, you are not going to have a good time.

If you want something that is a lot more beginner friendly, the F-5C would be a perfect choice.

Thanks, I used some UK jets with Radars, where could I learn more? And what are those Fox missiles?

I think it doesn't have flares and I have the Harrier AV-8 for that Tier

Search up DEFYN or Tim's Variety War Thunder on YouTube, both are good at explaining the F-4S in their respective rights and both have tutorials on how to use Radar guided missiles or in this case, the Sparrow for the Phantom.

I also suggest checking Tim's Variety War Thunder "Air To Air Missiles In War Thunder : The Complete Guide (Current 2023)" Video as it is very handy in telling you a lot about the missiles you are going to use. It's 25 mins long but if you watch through it, I guarantee you will learn some things you never knew, even veteran players learn some new stuff on that video.

It does have flares, it gets 60 pops, which is the same as the F-4S. They also recently moved it to Rank 7, so it's the same rank as the F-4S now and way easier to fly and use.
