Two Marine Corps F-4B Phantom II Fighters.
The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is a tandem two-seat, twin-engined, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor fighter/fighter-bomber originally developed for the United States Navy by McDonnell Aircraft.
The United States began using the F-4 Phantom to counter the North Vietnese Army's MiG-17. With its state of the art technology, the Phantom was far superior to the MiG-17 and gained the nickname "MiG killer". The U.S spared no expense in their attempt to dominate every aspect of battle in Southeast Asia, and the Phantom is an example of this attitude towards the war.
Battlefield Vietnam
The F-4 Phantom is the main fighter aircraft of the United States and South Vietnam and it's counterpart is the North Vietnamese MiG-21. It is equipped with heat seeking missiles and napalm bombs.
Tactics
Unlike the MiG-21. The F-4 doen't have Cannons instead it has heat seeking missles and napalm bombs
The heat seeking missiles can destroy any aircraft with one hit, Helicopters take two hits. However the Heatseeking missles can accidently lock onto friendly aircraft and destroy them, so its advised to check where the enemy is.
The napalm bombs can destroy light vehicles and kill infantry in a few seconds. But dropping the bombs take practice and it's advised to practice first.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam
In Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam, the F-4 Phantom is an unusable vehicle seen on certain maps as set pieces, much like the F-18 and the A-10 Thunderbolt II in the base game.
It can be spotted at Hill 137 in Rush mode. During the fighting for the foxholes, several F-4 Phantoms come at regular intervals to drop napalm on the area behind the large mountain, which obliterates the area, leaving a large area burned area that extends to the stronghold.
It can be also spotted during Operation Hastings. With an American victory, two F-4 Phantoms in formation pass by the oncoming American vehicles.
