That’s for the F-14B (404-110 engines)… still uselful thought as it proves they adjusted the in game one wrong since this seems to use N_z

Edit: it used N_z (there’s written normal load factor in front of it).

And as predicted it is lower than the in game test

It’s expected because they can’t make a normal FM

Yeah… they are going to add JDAMs for F-14B

Changes are not final, but yes probably.

Hope they don’t get JDAMs honestly.

Is what it is, a lot of us hoped the MiG-29’s wouldn’t get the R-27ER.

Couldn’t the MiG-29A R-27ER have been physically mounted and launched?

As for JDAM for F-14s, the regular B models didn’t have the wiring provided to use JDAM just like F-4EJ Kai.

Theoretically, but the fire control computer didn’t have the capability of recognizing the ER.

JDAM 1 variants (GBU-31) for F-14B

F-14D mounted GBU-31 & GBU-38

I expect gaijin working Sparrowhawk HUD and to replace current cockpit HUD on F-14B

Luckily, I’m not forgot you posted

Rename on tech tree and stat card at the same time

F-14B → F-14B(U)

its never going to get such a revamp, you will have to wait till the f14d comes like the rest of us

In my opinion, gajin could added F-14B(U) as Tier II modification for F-14B

For F-14D, located on group under F-14B

Gonna just add the note here that the Fakour 90 buff is still going through without issues so it seems.

Would be fantastic for the normal AIM-54s to get their historical G loading and the C to get it’s improved digital autopilot.

Pretty clear at this point that all the artificial nerfs to the AIM-54 arent balance consideration, gaijin just has a bone to pick with it for some reason lmao.

Hope we gets F-14B(U) in next update.

The J-7E is going on two years for modeling errors, the F-14B will not be much higher in the list of priorities I imagine.

BTW, imgur wasn’t available for me

Great video showing just how brutally the Sedgil/Fakour-90 outperform the AIM-54 in-game, particularly after their recent buff:

AIM-54’s are basically a joke missile at this point, and the F-90 and Sedgil outperform them so badly I’d argue the F-14A IRIAF is just a better aircraft than the F-14B as seen in-game due to how vast the difference in performance between the weapons fielded on the different F-14 variants are.

The iranian F-14 should be thrown up to 13.0 minimum, and arguably 13.3 would be a BR it should realistically go to, as it also outperforms vehicles like the F-4F KWS LV and the Tornado F.3 Late, which both sit at 13.3 currently.

Lmao it does not outperform the ICE and F3, especially because it has… rear aspect IR missiles and the F90 only works head on. The F90s are also heavy. The Iranmobile also has 60 CMs, that’s not surviving in top tier, especially with that abysmal RWR. 12.7 Maximum as a slight side grade to the B.

I know you’re not gonna acknowledge this and something something my teams anyways so there’s no point

You only take in one aspect of the plane (which isn’t even that good anyways), if we balanced off of that the Lancia 3Ro should be 11.7 because it’s HESH frontally OSKs every top tier MBT.
