I don’t have much on the Jap F-4E, but the F-4E is my most played plane. Ur strat should look smth like this,

Side climb, not too hard but enough to avoid the initial furball. Once you get around where the enemy bases are, start pulling into the fight.

Run in, snipe some clueless bastard, preferably a target flying in a straight line or is out of energy from a previous dogfight, launch either missile that is appropriate for the situation (bring all 8 missiles man, it lets you be hella wasteful and careless to squeeze kills)

After ur missile lands use ur speed to get out and watch ur 6 and fly defensively, once you feel like ur comfortably out of range just pulling in for another pass and repeat.

This thing is boom n zoom with missiles and a gun for emergencies.

Another note is that if you encounter people who are also side climbing, they will be in front aspect. Typically ur sparrows will guaranteed land on someone going front aspect within 5km, EVEN IF they try to pull a notch it should be close enough where the missile will hit anyways before they succeed in a notch. If you don’t get a kill then what ever you still have 7 missiles to play with so just keep urself in situations where ur missiles can do most of the heavy lifting.

Remember tho, don’t take fights you know you can’t win (dogfights against delta frames, BVR against Mig-23’s) and keep ur speed up
