F-4 EX?

[rlwicker1967]

After observing the near super maneuverability of the F-15 EX, I began to wonder what would've happened if they applied the same technology to the F-4. Would it have been a game changer? And, what about the F/A-18s?

you mean something like this  , with fly by wire more powerful engines and a more modern cockpit ???

 

actually they tested a RF-4C with fly by wire , that is where i got the idea for that Super Phantom above

That's cool! I've never seen that one before. I've seen the AFTI F-16 and F-111.

That is an awsome 'what if' @ravenclaw_007 what else are you hiding from us?! 😁

Aside from the YRF-4C, the closest other example is probably IAI's Super Phantom with the Pratt & Whitney 1120 engines. Reinforced airframe with a nice weight loss program from newer avionics and lighter, more powerful engines allowed for an improved performance envelope, but all we really have to go off of is the Paris Air Show demo from a slick jet.

They pulled the plug on the israeli Super Phantom to not jeopardize the F-15 & F-16 sales, right?

F/A-18 Hornet production and procurement was the concern at the time

Ok. And does this mod work on Strike Fighters: Project 1?

given this is in SF2 forums go out on a limb and say no

general rule of thumb is that gen 1 converts to gen 2 fairly easy, but gen 2 doesnt always convert backwards to gen 1

I didn't know this was SF2 forum, sorry. I'm still kinda new here.

Thanks anyway.

actually, this thread is in "The Pub", where just general things are discussed. New, views, babes, etc.

To post about a specific game, please post directly in that game's Forum and sub forurms.

With that in mind, I'm going to move this entire thread INTO the SF2 General Forum
