The '''F-4E Phantom II''' is a dual-seater [[multirole]] [[fighter]] aircraft. It debuted in ''[[Air Combat (PS1)|Air Combat]]'' and has since become one of the series's most prominent aircraft, appearing as the starter aircraft in many titles.

==History==
  +
===Strangereal===
  +
In the [[Strangereal]] world, the F-4E was employed as a carrier-based fighter by several militaries, including the [[Independent States Allied Forces]] and the [[Aurelian Navy]]. Other countries, such as [[Belka]] and the [[Osean Federation]], fielded them instead as conventional air force aircraft.
   
  +
During the [[Emmeria-Estovakia War]], F-4Es were deployed in a limited manner by the [[Estovakian Air Force|Estovakian]] and [[Republic of Emmeria Air Force|Emmerian]] Air Forces.{{Ref|AC6-M01|"[[Invasion of Gracemeria (mission)|Invasion of Gracemeria]]", ''[[Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation]]''.}}{{Ref|AC6-Cutscene-02|''[[Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation]]'' Cutscene #02: Realization.}} During the [[Invasion of Gracemeria]], an Esotvakian F-4E fired the missile which destroyed the [[King's Bridge]].{{Refcall|AC6-M01}} In the [[Assault on the Chandelier|final battle]] of the war, General [[Gustav Dvornik]]'s squadron also utilized the aircraft when they fled the [[Chandelier]]. However, Dvornik was shot down by [[Talisman]] shortly after takeoff.{{Ref|AC6-M15|"[[Chandelier (mission)|Chandelier]]", ''[[Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation]]''.}}

==Description==
  
−
The''' F-4 Phantom II''' is a twin-engine, all-weather, third generation naval fighter-bomber. The cost of a new one during its age was 2.4 million. The aircraft could perform four tactical air roles: air superiority, interdiction, close air support and fleet defense, as it did in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. First flown in May 1958, the Phantom II originally was developed for U.S. Navy fleet defense and entered service in 1961. The USAF evaluated it for close air support, interdiction, and counter-air operations and, in 1962, approved a USAF version after it was discovered to be over 100 miles per hour faster than the F-104 Starfighter. The USAF's Phantom II, designated F-4C, made its first flight on May 27, 1963. Production deliveries began in November 1963. In its air-to-ground role the F-4 could carry twice the normal bomb load of a WW II B-17. USAF F-4s also flew reconnaissance and "Wild Weasel" anti-aircraft missile suppression missions (the latter had a specialized variant known as the [[F-4G Phantom II Wild Weasel|F-4G]]). Phantom II production ended in 1979 after over 5,000 had been built more than 2,600 for the USAF, about 1,200 for the Navy and Marine Corps, and the rest for friendly foreign nations, including to '''Israel''', '''Iran''', '''Greece''', '''Spain''', '''Turkey''', '''South Korea''', '''West Germany''', '''Australia''', '''Japan''', and '''Great Britain'''.It is the only aircraft flown both by the USAF's "Thunderbirds" and US navy's "Blue Angels" simultaneously.The F-4 was used extensively in the Vietnam War, where its numerous dogfights with North Vietnamese MiG fighters earned it the nickname "the world's leading distributor of MiG parts." On 2 June 1972, USAF Major Phil Handley shot down a North Vietnamese Mig-19 "Farmer" with his F-4E's internal 20mm cannon. With an indicated airspeed of mach 1.2, he scored the world's first and only supersonic gun kill.The Phantom also saw service in the Middle East with the Israeli Air Force. The Israeli Phantoms were delivered under the Peace Echo I though IV and Nickel Grass programs. Israeli F-4E Phantoms were nicknamed Kurnass (heavy hammer) while the RF-4E's was called Orev (raven). In the Beqqa Valley the Phantom shot down 4th generation soviet aircraft piloted by Russians under Syrian markings. The last Israeli Phantoms were retired in 2004. Later versions of the aircraft were still active in the U.S. Air Force inventory well into the 1990s. F-4s are no longer in the USAF inventory but are still flown by foreign nations.
  
   
  +
F-4Es continued to be fielded in the [[Lighthouse War]]. A number of F-4Es were operated by the [[Erusean Air Force]], mostly during the opening part of the war. During [[Operation Sighthound]], the [[Glamrock Squadron]] utilized the aircraft in efforts to prevent the capture of the super-submarine ''[[Alicorn]]'' by Osean forces.{{Ref|AC7-SPM1|"[[Unexpected Visitor]]", ''[[Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown]]''.}}

Drone F-4Es were used by [[Martinez Security]] and the [[United States Navy]] for aerial combat practice, and the former had the regular aircraft in their inventory. The [[Valahia]] used the F-4E extensively during their attacks against [[Japan]] in the opening days of the [[Valahia Crisis]], but retired them shortly thereafter.

{{Quote|A large carrier-based fighter, designed as an interceptor. While numerous variants exist, the E-model was the one adopted by the air force. Based on craft designs of its time, it was developed as a fighter with standard missiles, and later reworked to incorporate machineguns—a stable of the E-model—based on feedback from sorties. Nowadays, it is an old-fashioned but classic fighter. It holds a number of flight records that are still impressive today. Adopted by numerous countries around the world, it is one of the best-selling jet fighters. Its global popularity means that it has numerous nicknames in addition to "Phantom II".|[[Hangar]]}}

*In various games in the series, the F-4E is incorrectly depicted and described as a carrier-based aircraft. The F-4E is one of the Air Force variants, the Navy/Marine variants being the F-4A, B, J, N and S.
  +
**Interestingly, ''Ace Combat 5'' corrects this error, but it recurs in subsequent games.
  +
*The ISAF colour scheme in AC04 and the Standard paint scheme in ACZ are based on the color scheme of the Royal Navy [https://www.flying-tigers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/GARNS4003-960x388.jpg Phantom FG1] (F-4K).
  +
*The YK color scheme in AC5, Lanze's paint scheme in ACZ, Leasath's paint scheme in ACX, Color 3 in ACJA, and the Special Skin in AC7, is the color scheme of the Japanese [http://savepic.org/5525440.jpg RF-4EJ and RF-4E].

Revision as of 09:25, 27 February 2020

The F-4E Phantom II is a dual-seater multirole fighter aircraft. It debuted in Air Combat and has since become one of the series's most prominent aircraft, appearing as the starter aircraft in many titles.

History

Strangereal

In the Strangereal world, the F-4E was employed as a carrier-based fighter by several militaries, including the Independent States Allied Forces and the Aurelian Navy. Other countries, such as Belka and the Osean Federation, fielded them instead as conventional air force aircraft.

During the Emmeria-Estovakia War, F-4Es were deployed in a limited manner by the Estovakian and Emmerian Air Forces.[1][2] During the Invasion of Gracemeria, an Esotvakian F-4E fired the missile which destroyed the King's Bridge.[1] In the final battle of the war, General Gustav Dvornik's squadron also utilized the aircraft when they fled the Chandelier. However, Dvornik was shot down by Talisman shortly after takeoff.[3]

F-4Es continued to be fielded in the Lighthouse War. A number of F-4Es were operated by the Erusean Air Force, mostly during the opening part of the war. During Operation Sighthound, the Glamrock Squadron utilized the aircraft in efforts to prevent the capture of the super-submarine Alicorn by Osean forces.[4]

Joint Assault universe

Drone F-4Es were used by Martinez Security and the United States Navy for aerial combat practice, and the former had the regular aircraft in their inventory. The Valahia used the F-4E extensively during their attacks against Japan in the opening days of the Valahia Crisis, but retired them shortly thereafter.

Infinity universe

The Phantom saw extremely limited use in the USEA Federation. A few units were seen in action over Tokyo, but most if not all units were shot down by the UNF.

As for the UNF, the F-4E was a very popular aircraft for starters, being one of the most flown aircraft during Operation Eternal Liberation.

Game Analysis

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

"A large carrier-based fighter, designed as an interceptor. While numerous variants exist, the E-model was the one adopted by the air force. Based on craft designs of its time, it was developed as a fighter with standard missiles, and later reworked to incorporate machineguns—a stable of the E-model—based on feedback from sorties. Nowadays, it is an old-fashioned but classic fighter. It holds a number of flight records that are still impressive today. Adopted by numerous countries around the world, it is one of the best-selling jet fighters. Its global popularity means that it has numerous nicknames in addition to "Phantom II"."

"General purpose, extra large, carrier-based fighter. Though turning performance can be a bit problematic because of the large size of the aircraft, it boasts top class speed performance among the older generation model aircraft, a high level of durability, and has a large amount of space for armaments.

Trivia

  • In various games in the series, the F-4E is incorrectly depicted and described as a carrier-based aircraft. The F-4E is one of the Air Force variants, the Navy/Marine variants being the F-4A, B, J, N and S.
    • Interestingly, Ace Combat 5 corrects this error, but it recurs in subsequent games.
  • The ISAF colour scheme in AC04 and the Standard paint scheme in ACZ are based on the color scheme of the Royal Navy Phantom FG1 (F-4K).
  • The YK color scheme in AC5, Lanze's paint scheme in ACZ, Leasath's paint scheme in ACX, Color 3 in ACJA, and the Special Skin in AC7, is the color scheme of the Japanese RF-4EJ and RF-4E.
    • Strangely in Skies of Deception, the paint scheme features Blaze's number 016 on the nose of the aircraft, but only on the right side.
  • A promotional image developed from Assault Horizon was designed for the "Nyutabaru Air Festa" in 2011, featuring an F-4E in the livery of the JASDF 5th Air Wing stationed at Nyutabaru Air Base flying alongside an ASF-X Shinden II. The image was printed on stickers for event attendees to take home.[6] The skin was not made available in the actual game.
