The F-4 is far from slow. Radar system, depends on what you compare to, and what version. I can agree that now the AN/APQ-120 is not exactly top of the line, but back when it came online, i would say it was among the best systems around.
Would not call the new radars the German F-4F+ Phantom II ICE and Japanese F-4EJ 'Kai' Phantom II got is outdated. The Israelis have also upgraded the Turkish Phantoms with their latest Elta radar.
And for WVR fights, use the Phantoms strenght, brute force. Boom and Zoom your oponent. Worked very well against Vietnamese and Arab Mig's.
