When you’re in an objectively worse plane than everyone around you, then that means your plane is bad.
They turn good, and that’s where the upsides end. Their engines are far weaker for their airframe than pretty much everything else (and I’m talking 0.7 thrust weight ratio at a BR where most planes are nearing 2.0 thrust weight ratio).
It also absorbs fuel super quickly, aswell as losing speed quickly in turns (not as bad as a delta wing, but still pretty bad)
Doesn’t matter when they don’t hit.
Aim-7E-2s are inferior to R-27s. I only carry sparrows on my IRIAF because it can only carry two R-27s. Just because F-16 has them, doesn’t mean they’re good, especially when F-16 also flies significantly better.
its not objectively worse than everyone around you? where on gods earth have you pulled that from.
its better than the mig29s at 12.7, arguably better than the F4F ICE , its better than the mig29G.
its better than all the russian mig29s.
its better than the su27. (its a massive shit brick with missiles)
its better than the tornado F.3 LATE which is 13.3
Its about on par with the 16AJ due to how heavy the AJ is.
better than the J8F which is 13.0
shall i keep going?
the F14A is not a bad plane at 12.7 at all, it still performs great.
The issue is not the plane.
If you fly it properly that is irrelevant.
You shouldnt be putting it in positions where its sub 700kmph thrust matters.
Same as almost all rank 8s soak fuel up.
Dont force full elevator.
im not gonna lie im gonna stop here.
Ive checked your stat card youve never even used a high BR delta to compare with the F14, to hell youve not even got another game in a rank 8 air craft. The Kfir C10 is arguably worse than the F14 performance wise overall. Just has 2 crap derbies and 2 pythons.
youve never used an F16 to say that at all.
plus the R27s on the IRIAF are not as effective, ive got more kills iwth the sparrows than the R27s on the IRIAF.
go get a positive KD in it then get back to me. or actually use even some of the jets youre comparing it with.
I do not mean compare the 12.7 with a 13.7, naturually the 13.7s are better
just as the F14 at 12.7 is miles better than every 11.7
Stating facts about the thing? the best thing about the Kfir C10 is the fact it has two derby’s which are considered some of the worst ARHmissiles in game.
the pythons are nice right enough.
the acceleration on the kfir C10 is poor af for the BR the fact its a delta means it sheds speed like nothing else and its guns are adens which are pathetic at that BR.
Go watch defyn on it hell keep you right.
What air craft is it flat out “worse” than in that list?
“dissing” as if its your best mate. the R27R1’s arent that good at all. compared to the R27ERs which are miles better.
The R1s are slightly more agile than the aim7 - 2s but are slower and burn longer.
The aim7 -2 (again essentially an F) are about equal with the R27R1
if you knew about these air craft youd know its the R27ER and ET that are the ones that absolutely dominate. E.G speed of mach 5.8 and can hit folks 20 km away easy days.
I do understand, i have the mirage F1 200 mate, and ive got france to 12.3.
you shouldnt be in a position to notch them in the first place. Fly around the map try use terrain (golan heights you cant im aware)
Wdym i dont have plane that have the matra d
I grind with mirage f1 and i dont mind going against f4s that are much better in bvr but against fackours?
I cant even pull to notch in time
F14 iraf isnt equal to f14a and imo not f14b but i guess 13.0 its fine to this op missile bus
the 530F missiles on the Mirage F1 200, are not good for BVR they never will be due to how they are interrupted by chaffe. when i said get a plane with 530D’s it means when you get one use that for BVR.
the mirage F1 200 has better missiles than the phantom with the magic 2’s, the 530F’s arent really good.
However the mirage F1 200 is a far supperior platform to the F4S. in retention, turning circle and AoA.
to notch the fakour in the F1 200 is extremely easy, your RWR has a flat tone when its 16km away, when the missile itself is putbull (locked on). However, you should not be flying straigh to the battlefield NOR at massive altitude at that BR anyways without the proper missiles to respond . E.G an R27ER can be fired at an F14 at orbit and guided in relatively easily.
Notching is a last ditch attempt to counter a missile, you should NOT be in a position where you cant notch a missile.
the IRIAF is not equal to the 14A and is a bit better but to put it to 13.0 would kill it entirely, the fakours while good are not some hyper death missile. (I take 6 sparrows over them half the time)
you need to learn to play the jet.
No it is not, the F14 can do nothing against an F15E, EF2000 and Rafale.
U wrong on so many things
Im sry but i dont want to hug the ground allways if i wanted too i would pla grb and second matra f arent so bad as ppl say they do ignore chaff depend in the distance and lock mode but its like 50 50 chance and anyway ppl arent very aware in this br when rwr are ass
If i dont get uptierd (which is very rare) i can get 1 if not 2 kills with it
And idk if its rwr bug or smt but from the moment it start pinging i have like 5 sec before the fackour hit (which makes sanse for how fast this thing is this is the best fox 3 for bvr even better then 120)
F14 iraf isnt a bit better then the f14a is much better and honestly i think its better then f14b bcuz how strong the fackours are u can pretty match secure 2 3 kills every match before the fight even start
U can argue its gonna suffer in 13.0 but better it suffer then everyone else suffering cuz it should not be in 12.7
Youre the one who cant notch a fakour in an F1 200.
Im well aware how the matra F works but most folks are aware to chaff and try move when its fired at them.
as can I.
I just did a match in the F1 200 and no, i was getting RWR pings from absolutely miles away, i managed to dodge the fakours, R27s and the sparrows slung at me. (shame it was spain cause the lobby ended in 2 minutes.)
No they arent, youve never used the fakours mate, they are fast sure and have a longer effective range than a pheonix but unless the player base are labotamites they usually miss. on top of that the F14A IRIAF with the fakours is heavier than with the pheonixes, its still an F14A platform at the end of the day.
No one that plays the game well is suffering cause of the IRIAF, and IF the gen 4.5s moved up in BR for more decompression then im all for moving it up.
But as it siits right now its the same BR as stuff such as the F16, and a slight step bellow the F15A which is just miles better than it.
Also had a look, youre barely positive in the F14A which is an immensely powerful platform.
you still are not listening, you get a warning 16km away at the very minimum.
You have in 16 km plenty of time, and capabilities to dodge more than 1 fakour missile.
On top of this you should be flying around them anyways.
Decide on what? if you take the whole statement I said
“Im well aware how the matra F works but most folks are aware to chaff and try move when its fired at them.” which means not everyone is paying attention and thats where you get the kills.
read first.
You going BVR against an F14 in a mirage F1 200 is just ridiculously stupid.
Its designed to be an incredibly potent BVR jet, if anything the AIM54 range is insufficient compared to IRL as they dont have the lofting and such modelled.
I know how to BVR in golan heights, depending the side you’re on fly around hte pack then fire the 530F’s into the back of someone who is not paying attention, can do this to about 11km then the they will inevitably chaff it.
I use the IRIAF and do pathetically worse with it compared to the near 2.0kd with the standard F14A
no the F14A should not go back to 12.3 , at all the fact you struggle with it shows where the issues here are, the F14A is a fantastic plane.
