This is really the issue, the f-4 (even the early versions) were perfectly fine, the issue in vetnam was the tactics used by north vetnam and the complet lack of forsite by the usaf. North vetnam could use hit and run tactics on usaf missions due to the usaf not having AEW and signal tracking in north vetnam. Once teaball (lead by the same man who lead a similar operation in the korean war so the usaf could and should have set this up the moment they started missions in north vetnam) got started, us k/d ratios started going passed what they had achieved in Korea.
