gaijin isnt going to do it just because it could mount it For example the fw190-f8 could mount X4 rusthal missiles wire guided missiles so could the me262 but gaijin has not added them as
even if it had the cability the f14 would get abused by and move to 13.7 which it would not be able to compete
I’m sorry to bring this up again, but the YAK-141 not only lacked the missiles it carries in game, but it also lacked all fire control systems. Despite this, Gaijin gave it all of the above.
I’d like to see X4 in-game, but I’m not sure why that hasn’t happened.
- Singular testbeds
- Balance reasons
because it was a german prototype and gaijin doesnt like german prototypes
they also used them on ju88 bombers with the most success there as you had to guide them by hand and fly the plane
it similiar to how the g91 missiles work it would wasd guidance
What? It would be perfectly fine at that BR. Jet had IRST/TISEO combo and the strongest MPRF radar until F-22 came out. It could also receive VTAS HMS which got tested successfully in operational units (similar to F-4J/F-4S) and AIM-9M which it operationally used.
the missiles that are notoriously difficult to use?
Early? There is no such thing as an early—you’re thinking of the F/A-18A.
eurofighters when added f16 jas39 will eat it alive
yes
another example bmp1 without the bmp1p mod
We have these jets in game right now and they do not eat my F-14B alive when I play it. You’ve got plenty of thrust and wing lift with flaps to comfortably fight most of your opponents
The F-14 is a menace in a gun only duel, there’s nothing about the airframe that’d hold you back at top tier.

dogfights are very uncommon and not every single f14 has the software to load the aim120 which is what is required at top tier right now
plus also this has already been debated on here anyways What is coming first? The F-14D with AIM-120’s or the F/A-18A with AIM-7M’s?
???
I don’t think we’re on the same wavelength. Earlier you said this:
Now, if I understand you correctly what you really meant to say is this: if the F-14 got AIM-120 at was moved to 13.7 it would get abused.
Abused in what way exactly? I responded by touting it’s good dogfight performance, and then you say dogfights aren’t common. So if dogfights and armament aren’t a problem, in what way would it be abused?
Im out this is getting ridiculous lol
New premium idea
F-111B
BR: 11.7
meta right now is fox 3 and in a dogfight the tomcat only keeps up because of the crazy aoa pull fox 3 being the mea f14 radar with the fox 3 have always been easy to dodge as it has very high nottch angles meaning missiles can be notched easily while f15 f16 can maintain hard lock for longer as the notch gate is lower
