Aside from r27 slingers unless you are in a 13.3+ uptier you are perfectly fine in bvr, and you might well take alt if you can, aim7p work a lot better top down aspect. All you have for close range is aim9l and guns, and trying to dogfight at these brs usually just gets you 3rd partied if you get dragged off the deck.
And for f14 I was saying if it got moved to 12.3 for seal clubbing should have said that sorry.
F18A doesnt get aim7p
id honestly love f14a at 12.3 if they took away AIM54 it be pretty accurate
Ya it would be fine there. Wish gaijin had a few options for variable BR loadouts, that would also let them unerf some planes like mig29s loadouts. Could play it at 12.3/12.7/13.0 depending on what missiles you take.
Would also stop them from making us grind 400krp and re spading planes that are barely any different.
