Because of the BR placement, this has already been explained, also because this is a weird conglomerate F-14A, it’s missing a few weapons which I think Gaijin is waiting to add to a sub tree variant.
Also the Iranians don’t use the R-27ER, the implementation of the R-27R is already controversial.

i mean you kinda have to have proof and i havent seen anything thats actually credible even if it is true
There are public images and it’s acknowledged that the Iranians have indeed tested the R-27R1 on their Tomcats but I’m yet to see the same for the R-73E.
The R-73E has been tested and fired from the F-4Es successfully however and we could see that in the future.

(i read your post wrong oopsies)
no the AWG-9 could theoretically guide the missiles, the issue was it crashed the hardpoint computer, so it literally couldn’t be selected to even test the launch

iirc, they tested both, R-73 worked but they saw little point as the mig-29 was a significantly better dogfighting platform and decided to put the good things together, plus they used the F-14As for interception and not air superorority

It can’t even fire the normal R-27R, the heck makes you think it can use the ER and R-73? There literally no proof other than hearsay on the matter.
F-14 never used to pylons for R-73s, and never tried R-27ERs on F-14.
R27ER is completely incompatible with the F14’s datalink, which would be required to launch the missile beyond 25km against a 1.0 RCS target, and there is no evidence to suggest that the F14’s radar or the R27 missiles were ever actually proven to be compatible with each other in the first place.
There are pictures showing the R27 mounted to the Iranian F14’s, but no evidence they could be launched and guided by the F14
the F-14 was incompatable with the R-27R1’s datalink anyway lmaoo

Agreed man, hope they will add it soon to the IRIAF F-14A.
not even ask for a sauce huh?
They can’t, it was never mounted, or even capable mounting it. Let along using it. Heck it can’t even use the R-27R1, but gaijin seems to think otherwise…
