F-14 Tomcat: History, Performance & Discussion

Facts. And I feel bad for all the people who have to grind the IRIAF in it’s 13.0 time too. 2 Aim-54As and 2 AIM-9Ps!!! at 14.0 matches. And you’re not getting better IR missiles than that. Wild.

Well… This sucks.

Another 13.0 is getting All aspect IRCCM missiles with modern ARH missiles (with no uptier) but the F-14B can’t get the Aim-9M with a trash ARH missile.

Maybe we should make a new poll to see if can reach 1000 votes for the f14D and to upgrade the f14a and f-14B

Edit: unless if you can still do it in here

Upgrade what? If you’re talking about giving them better IR missiles which may increase in BR again

If it’s needed sure but I don’t think it would. yeah that’s one another would be the radar and dual plane for all missiles and i think theirs more that I can’t remember right now.

No reason for why it should, the J8F has a vastly superior radar, modern all aspect ARHes and now the ability to carry 6 IRCCM equipped IRAAMs.

The 14B has been exceedingly mid if not outright just worse than everything else at it’s BR, if gaijin chooses to force the 14B to go up in BR if it gets 9Ms while the J8F remains at 13.0, its just more obvious proof that they are either exceedingly biased or have 0 idea how their game is balanced.

Bro the f4f ice was better than the j8f and it has been the same br for more than a year now. J8f deserves this

And? The F-14B has been at the same BR for just about the same amount of time while being worse in almost every aspect, this is the F-14B thread after all. Reminder again that the J8F still has a usable radar and modern ARHes, the 14B has neither.

Thank you for re-iterating that the F-14B is still the worst 13.0 aircraft beyond the subsonics at the same BR.

Edit, so the F-14B, after running through the trees, is the only 13.0 that lacks IRCCM equipped IRAAMs now, lmao.

F-14B doesn’t?

9ls are still usable, at least it’s not the 14a that’s stuck with 9ps at the same br. I do agree 14b should get 9ms although I think they’re saving them for the d

Are the F-16A ADFs getting 9M when they move up due to the new AMRAAMS? Because they’ll be up there without IRCCM too.

just 120as

Doesn’t matter when they have the best ARH in the game. Compared to the F-14B having the worst.

I agree that they’re probably saving them for the D, but I don’t agree with them leaving the rest of the B’s kit 12.3 worthy since they won’t fix the phoenix.

Does anyone know, did the D ever get 9X or was it retired too early?

retired 2006 so find out when X came out and bing botta boom

theres a source out there that says 9x is usable by the 14d, i bet @ItzMikeyzWRLD-psn has it

hey mikey i found some intresting info
https://weaponsystems.net/system/219-AIM-54+Phoenix

This is all old and outdated information, if you can find it on google it probably has been seen before.
Then of course the stuff that hasn’t generally isn’t permissible for sharing on the forum or is a fresh FOIA, etc.
