Heatblur F-4 Phantom

[RED]

So uh... When will it be announcend? What versions? Looking forward to it!

 

P.S. I am guessing here.

Blesimtek had the F-4E slated after the Mi-24P. but that all got jumbled when they were acquired by ED two years ago. so I don't think HB will be picking it up

ED officials said that F4 most likely be done by a 3rd party developer about a month ago. So I hope HB will do it rather than other devs. Because their modelling quality is superb. And also they have tremendous experience on AI pilots and multicrew

[westr]

To do the F-4 justice it would ideally be multiple variations, at least an Air Force and Navy variant, in one module. That’s quite an undertaking, HB would be capable of it of course. Let’s see so many wonderful and iconic aircraft available. When it all settles with the Viggen and the Tomcat it shall be highly anticipated where they go next, F4 is iconic, but I’ve longed for a Tornado for so many years.

The F4... i love that plane.

As far as I know ED still has the licence for the F-4 Phantom due to Bilsimtek being a sub developer under ED and was reabsorbed along with the AH-1 and F-4E Block 58 projects they were doing and ED still plans to make  and F-4 or possibly multiple after everything else is said and done (after F-18/16 is complete/mostly complete and after Hind and AH-64 have been released). However if its not considered under the same licence agreement due to the weapons and modifications put onto it the first F-4 we could see as soon as possible would realistically come from TrueGrit as the F-4 ICE. As the CEO flew German F-4 ICE before the Typhoon and has many friends he could ask for more information then just what he knows so much like the Eurofighter they're in one of the best positions to make any type of F-4 Phantom. 

 

While *possible* Heatblur has said that once the F-14 is done their next module will be "2 engined" and "Complicated" and since when RAZBAM wanted to make a flyable A-6 Intruder around 2014/2015 they said that "someone else" had the licence AND that HB has said they have interest in making their already high quality 3D AI asset into a fliable module at some point. The A-6 is most likely HB's next module.

I do hope you are right.  Would only make sense, honestly.

[Bozon]

F-4 Phantom by Heatblur? I’ll be all over that! Yes please!

 

After their superb F-14, HB seem to be the best developer for a phantom - I suppose the Jester AI can be adapted to the Phantom relatively easy. Both planes are more or less from the same era, with rio operated radars and before the days of FBW and fancy computers. 

 

I prefer F-4E model since this is the one that saw the most action and served in the largest number of airforces around the world. I would take any other variant as well.

 

[Bravelink03]

I'd say something Similar to this

 

F-4J,F-4E (Late) F-4D and a foreign varient like the Kurnass 2000 or F-4F ICE (last one might be picked up by true Grit). 

 

If we get an F-4B or J From Vietnam, I hope to see "Game TIme " as a feature 

 

+1 but A-6 should be developed first

[RaisedByWolves]

If anyone can do the Phantom the way it should be done. It’s heat blur.

Indeed, no one else has modelled late analogue / early digital aircraft systems so well as Heatblur did with the Viggen and the Tomcat!

I bet next year's 2022 and beyond trailer will have the F4's silhouette at the end

I don't know if Heatblur would make the Airforce variants as opposed to Navy. Although I would like for them to do both a Navy and an Airforce variant. That way we can have Jester make fun of the Airforce when you are in the Navy variant and vise versa.

[Bravelink03]

F-4D, F-4E, F-4J and F-4S. Two Vietnam era birds (F-4D and J) and two post war 80s birds (F-4E and F-4S).

 

Also what kind of banter would you like to hear?

[sadjad-vosoul]

I wonder how ED missed PHANTOM II in DCS until now !!! 

and yes all these Variants , YEEEEEEEES PLEASE

[notproplayer3]

I really hope heatblur makes the F-4A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/I/J/K/L/M/N/O/P/Q/R/S/T/U/V/W/X/Y/Z module

[Bravelink03]

For service jokes, Jester could do this. 

That's a F-4D , Great , the Chair force came to help.

 

for the airforce you could have Jester say this

Thats a , F-4J , Duke cunningham was the only good pilot in the navy and that doesn't look like Duke.

I was more thinking we could do a module, like "DCS: US Air Force 1945-2020". I mean, why think small...

But that doesn't include the Tornado! So how about "DCS: NATO Air Forces 1945-2020"?

Thanks. Look forward to it!!!

[Baco]

Come on Mike, you know you need the D to go along with that gorgeous A-6B you are making  

And lets go Downtown!!! 

 

Oh and since you now have the experience that came with the Forrestal, you can give us the Intrepid or better yet, the Enterprise

[Southernbear]

So, as I've been saying. A-6 is next on the list for Heatblur, its now official. So you'll have to wait for an ED F-4 Phantom.
