The F-4E Phantom II is a fighter aircraft developed by McDonnell Douglas. First flown in 1958, it is one of the aircraft most associated with the Vietnam War, as well as one of the most famous and recognized fighters jets in existence. Notable achievements related to the Phantom II are scoring the first and only recorded supersonic gun kill, and being the last American fighter to achieve ace status in the 20th century. It is also the only aircraft to be used by both the USAF's Thunderbirds and the US Navy's Blue Angels. The aircraft was retired in 1995; although the aircraft itself is quite outdated, it is still in use by several nations to this day.
In the Ace Combat series, the F-4E Phantom II is normally featured as the first (if not, one of the first) aircraft available to the player. The aircraft is normally associated with Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, as it is, canonically, the first aircraft flown by the player character, Mobius One. Through its different incarnations the F-4E boasts average statistics. The SP weapon most associated with the Phantom II is the Napalm Bomb.

Edit
The F-4E is one of the two first aircraft available to the player in the original Air Combat, alongside the F-14A Tomcat. It costs $750,000.

In mission #2, Easy Money, the player can engage an F-4E ace named "Superfly". The aircraft is notably more maneuverable than other enemy aircraft engaged in the mission.

Ace Combat: Assault HorizonEdit
The F-4E Phantom II was unveiled in July 2011 as one of the aircraft available in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon. It is exclusive to the European Limited Edition and customers who pre-ordered the game, and can be accessed through a single-use online code.
Online use of the Phantom is generally considered a 'Trophy Fighter' that is seemingly helpless against most other fighters considering its lack of agility, but with a well thought skill set, the Phantom can be a decent re spawn point hunter. Even being able to give mid tier fighters a hard time if used well. In the Fighter-Bomber role, the Phantom does well with its UGB load, as one would expect given its tough armour. Also being one of few aircraft capable of using ECM pods, it can be used as a SAM killer, too, by activating ECM and strafing SAM launchers while they cannot lock and fire on you or allies.
ArmamentsEdit
- SAAM: AIM-7F
- Un-Guided Bomb: Mk.84 2000 lb Bomb
- ECM: AN/ALQ-101 Jamming Pod
ColorsEdit
- Color 1: United States Air Force grey drab.
- Color 2: United States Air Force dark green camouflage.
- Color 3: United States Air Force Vietnam-era woodland camouflage with "jaws" nose art and five kill markings.
