A lot of us here do, but Gaijin will never let that happen, especially not with the new IRAF version. Can’t have a tech tree plane be better, because it gets in the way of their money schemes
They only ever carried AIM-9M-1s and AIM-9M-3s. AIM-9M-8s were used by F/A-18E/Fs. The F-14D tested the AIM-9M-8 but it was never adopted because the tomcat was retired.
Sorry, I didn’t mention F-14A from IRIAF
So change AAM stock 2x AIM-9L replace with AIM-9M for F-14B.
But I don’t know now AIM-9M for aviation rank 8 it’s AIM-9M-1 or AIM-9M-3
It not just F/A-18E Blk 1, USN & USMC F/A-18C/D Hornet armed AIM-9M-8 too
F/A-18E/F Blk 1 armed AIM-9M-10
But AV-8B Night Attack & AV-8B+ (USMC) armed AIM-9M-8 ?
👍
Yeah it wasn’t just the super hornet but that was the only one I could remember off the top of my head srry
F/A-18A+/B+ and F/A-18C/D (USN & USMC) armed AIM-9M-8 ?
AIM-9M-10 it’s exclusive for Super Hornet Block I ?
Only E/F used M-8, A+ and B+ used M-3 and than AIM-9X
I don’t know about marine hornets I would need more research
I don’t know but I think some others may have tested or received it.
Carried or tested?
Doesn’t matter, if War Thunder didn’t have the doublest standards ever it’d have them eventually.

I think the 9L would be better for the A because other wise it’s a just a slightly worse B if the B gets 9Ms
I highly disagree the A is just “slightly” worse. The thrust difference is massive and the upgraded RWR - which is probably the most important improvement - of the F-14B gives you an insane situational awareness compared to the blind F-14A.
Unlike the A, the B can do threat assessment and react accordingly - You’re not taking the same approach if you detect an f4s or mig21 vs an F-15 ping. Being able to discern hard locks vs missile launches is also a huge advantage for the B. The F-14A has to treat any solid ping tone as a potential missile launch and go defensive.

Maybe both.
Given that it was deployed in the 1990s, it is not surprising that the AIM-9M-8 was used in the F-14A, which was in use until 2004.
PS: I found photo that B model has AIM9M8.

This is why I want to see F-14A late that got ALR-67 and bombcat upgrades.

From what I can the tomcat is overperforming in turn rate ?
In game it can achieve 24°/s
The F-14 in the game is disconnected from reality as much as possible

Mig always claimed the F-14’s turn was accurate so I never bothered checking.

Also that shows manoeuvre devices off.
