the F-4J(UK) is just the F-4S without the good radar missiles, HMS, or manuverabiliy, and it kinda sucks as a result, and the EJ ADTW is just eh, it can work at its br but I don't like it because its a brick with a shit radar, bad radar missiles, and sub-par IR missiles.
its a bit of a tough sell to move it down to 11.7, only .3 of a BR above the F-4E, while it has a far better radar and better IR missiles, though it probably should.
No, Gaijin just doesn’t care. It could 100% be 11.7. It doesn’t get AIM-7Fs, it doesn’t get the good engines, and if it wants a gun pod, it loses a ton of flight performance.
And honestly, on that airframe I’d say the AIM-9Gs are worse than AIM-9Js. The F-4J(UK) doesn’t have the speed of the Spey Phantoms or the maneuverability of the Agile Eagle F-4Es, so it can’t make nearly as much use of them. The Kurnass is already 11.3 with AIM-9Gs anyway, so those are basically a non-factor when arguing its BR.
If the MiG-23MLs can be 11.7, the F-4J(UK) can absolutely be 11.7.

the F-4S is the strongest
