The F-4E Phantom II is a famous US aircraft from the Vietnam War era and a reliable workhorse of many militaries around the world. Powered by two General Electric J79-GE-17 jets, each producing an incredible 8,010 kgf on maximum afterburner, the F-4E boasts high speed and a solid climb rate. Leading-edge "Agile Eagle" (not existed in this build lol) slats increase its turning capability and somewhat mitigate the reputation of the Phantom family as flying bricks.

In the weapons department the F-4E can carry 4×Aim-9J Sidewinder and 4×Aim-7 Sparrows as well as 2× Agm-88 HARM missiles for SEAD missions.

Bit of lore on this build: In 1975 the US government decided to send some of its F-4 squadrons to help the forces fighting in Snowstone. It's also a move to prevent the use of nukes from the country as the US believe Snowstone opposing forces having a high chance on possessing WMDs(Totally not V2)
