=== ---WIP--- ===&lt;br /&gt;
Being a slightly upgraded F-4J, the F-4S retains many of its predecessor's defining characteristics. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main difference between the two is the F-4S' leading edge wing slats. These greatly increase maneuverability, but as a side affect decrease energy retention. Even with improved maneuverability, the F-4S still does not pull hard enough to competitively dogfight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most powerful aspect of the F-4S is it's weaponry. For IR missiles, it caries AIM-9Hs. Even though they have mediocre performance (max overload 18G), their respectable range and long guidance time makes them ideal for picking off inattentive players or AI. The crowning glory of the F-4S' arsenal is the AIM-7F. These are one of the best SARH missiles at top tier, and&lt;br /&gt;

'''Cons:'''&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The F-4S is a variant of the F-4 Phantom II, a twin-engine, all-weather jet fighter-bomber originally developed by McDonnell Douglas (now part of Boeing) for the United States Navy in the 1950s. The F-4S was the final production version of the F-4, and saw extensive service during the Cold War and in various conflicts around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The F-4S was developed in response to the need for an advanced fighter-bomber that could operate in all weather conditions and perform a wide range of missions, including air-to-air combat, ground attack, and reconnaissance. It featured improved avionics, a more powerful engine, and upgraded weapons systems compared to earlier variants of the F-4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the F-4S's most significant upgrades was its advanced radar system, which could track multiple targets at once and provide the pilot with a clear picture of the battlefield. It was also equipped with a more sophisticated weapons delivery system, which allowed it to carry a wider variety of bombs and missiles, including the AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, as well as the AGM-65 Maverick air-to-ground missile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The F-4S saw extensive service with the US Navy and Marine Corps, as well as with several foreign militaries, including the Israeli Air Force and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. It was used in a variety of conflicts, including the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and the Gulf of Sidra incident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite its success in combat, the F-4S was eventually phased out of service in the late 1980s and early 1990s, as newer and more advanced fighter aircraft were introduced into the US military fleet. Today, several examples of the F-4S can be found on display in aviation museums and military bases around the world, serving as a reminder of the aircraft's important role in military history.&lt;br /&gt;

Be sure to reference text and sources by using &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, as well as adding them at the end of the article with &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;references /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;=== In-game description ===&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, also if applicable).'' --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The F-4S is a variant of the F-4 Phantom II, a twin-engine, all-weather jet fighter-bomber originally developed by McDonnell Douglas (now part of Boeing) for the United States Navy in the 1950s. The F-4S was the final production version of the F-4, and saw extensive service during the Cold War and in various conflicts around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The F-4S was developed in response to the need for an advanced fighter-bomber that could operate in all weather conditions and perform a wide range of missions, including air-to-air combat, ground attack, and reconnaissance. It featured improved avionics, a more powerful engine, and upgraded weapons systems compared to earlier variants of the F-4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the F-4S's most significant upgrades was its advanced radar system, which could track multiple targets at once and provide the pilot with a clear picture of the battlefield. It was also equipped with a more sophisticated weapons delivery system, which allowed it to carry a wider variety of bombs and missiles, including the AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, as well as the AGM-65 Maverick air-to-ground missile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The F-4S saw extensive service with the US Navy and Marine Corps, as well as with several foreign militaries, including the Israeli Air Force and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. It was used in a variety of conflicts, including the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and the Gulf of Sidra incident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite its success in combat, the F-4S was eventually phased out of service in the late 1980s and early 1990s, as newer and more advanced fighter aircraft were introduced into the US military fleet. Today, several examples of the F-4S can be found on display in aviation museums and military bases around the world, serving as a reminder of the aircraft's important role in military history.&lt;br /&gt;
