+Dave Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 That would be amazing to see accurately portrayed. I have the F-4S downloaded from here but I think there is more to the real one then what is modeled in game. That sounds like a leap forward similar to that of the going straight from the P-51A straight to the H! There is a lot more to the S but we cant do it in game. Or we would of. The S was the ultimate Phantom. Quote
+Gocad Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I think TK made it quite clear that he would not do new pits for a DLC plane, which should tell you a lot about the chances of a "real" A-4M or late model Phantom. I also get the impression that the F-4N/S just soldiered on for the same reason the Crusader stayed....the Navy had still some carriers left that couldn't take their latest fighter. Quote

I also get the impression that the F-4N/S just soldiered on for the same reason the Crusader stayed....the Navy had still some carriers left that couldn't take their latest fighter. The F-4N/S soldiered on because they could never afford enough F-14s to replace them and at the time the F-14s were not used for any mission other than air superiority/fleet air defense. Under Reagan, they bought even more carriers and needed planes to fill them. Ultimately, the Navy was waiting on Hornet production to permit retirement of the F-4, much like the arrival of enough F-16s allowed them to be pushed out of active service in the USAF. Since the F-4N/S didn't make the cut for SF2NA, I would expect them to be in an expansion pack much like the Lighting, which had lots of variants and completely new cockpits. But I wouldn't expect the cockpits to function any different than what SF2 has now, just 3d modeled to look like the photos. F-4S cockpit: Edited March 5, 2012 by streakeagle Quote
JediMaster Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Well the Mirage F1 expansion is coming first, unless TK changes his plans. I would buy such an expansion with that late F-4, though. Quote
arthur666 Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 @streakeagle, thanks for the pic. never seen that before. So the F-4S had a more modern-style HUD system, like the F-14, or not? Quote
skwabie Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 the F-4N/S didn't make the cut for SF2NA hell... did TK mention that somewhere? the planelist in current SF2 do say there's an N, S and J_74 there.. Quote
JediMaster Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Which just means he may plan to add it "some day", but not necessarily at release. Perhaps "SF2 Expansion 4" for NA. Quote
Fubar512 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 @streakeagle, thanks for the pic. never seen that before. So the F-4S had a more modern-style HUD system, like the F-14, or not? No. It has a pipper projected onto a combinig glass, similar to earlier F-4 models. Quote
