Good old “balancing factor” or whatever gaijin is using for such shenanigans.
N001 has hmd and irst is more modern than awg9 has the same missile load out(except it can’t carry 12 missiles ) as the su33, su27 can fly faster and supposedly turns faster then su33 because the su33 is heavier and slightly slower, but it has Canards, so it turns about the same. yes it dosent have the same range as the awg 9 but in war thunder you don’t really need 100+ miles of range even awg9 default settings is mainly set 50-20 miles for most players honestly. su27 with r27r vs a f14A iraf with r27r i bet the su27 does better than the f14A or even if both are slightly on par with each other. Honestly I don’t have the su27 just yet but someone should do the test f14A iraf and a su27 with only 2 r27r and see what radar comes out on top with both shooting the same range/angles but I still think the su27 would do better

Which assume you
- know where the enemy is
- are within 20km to lock people.
N001 also can’t change the scan radius, unlike the AWG-9. Meaning it’s slower to scan with it’s already abysmal scan speed.
But yes, the Su-27 is better within WVR. But at that point, most people just use ACM (or, for the Tomcat, SRC PD HDN with 19km range.)
The AWG-9 is definitely better at longer ranges though, in my experience.
Tomcat only has 9 KM ACM.

Like in arb (unless on asb)we’re people names/jet pop up around 5-15 miles out or a rwr telling you what general direction your getting locked/shot at and top of that your acting like the su27 dosent have tws hdn or src pd even tho it has slower scan rates you can still detect and lock enemies and still have a better chance of shooting down a enemy at angles or longer ranges or even close to the ground compared to something like f14B/A with sparrows

It’s very inconsistant.
I mean, yes, the Flanker can more easily shoot down enemies, but that’s to do with it’s weaponry, not it’s radar.
without the R-27E’s, the F-14s would beat the Flanker. The AIM-7F/M is better than the R-27R.
If someone gets the jump on you, and you only find out where they are after they’ve locked you… That tends not to be good.
Listen, the AWG-9 isn’t the best. But the N001 is simply worse.
I would have to disagree about it being the worse like I keep trying to say the radar isn’t the worst or greatest compared to the awg9 but it definitely has more pro’s (in game not irl)
It ain’t always the end of the line tho either and the flanker and other jets has proven that
Unless you stock grinding why would you choose the r27r over the r27er on top of that R-27R is often considered better than the AIM7F due to its higher maneuverability and faster speed, making it harder to evade though the AIM-7F has more Delta-V and range in certain scenarios. The R-27R’s greater “pull” or turn rate is a significant advantage in close-quarters situations, allowing it to defeat countermeasures more effectively than the AIM-7F. the R-27ER is generally considered better than the AIM-7M outperforming it in speed, maneuverability, range, and having features like datalink guidance which make it much harder to evade. While the AIM-7M is a capable missile, the R-27ER’s superior speed allows it to win missile jousts, and its ability to maintain a lock with a datalink makes it a formidable threat that the AIM-7M struggles to counter effectively (In game not irl)

Definitely not true… where did you hear that?

That’s not a feature in WT.
Yes it is and yes it will
Did I miss it? I know it can be set on fire by others, but can you set your own on fire?
Right, thank you. In that case, I don’t really understand why I was asked.
836 km/h, to be exact.
You just had to look at the vark
Smh
Tbh, I read it here. Upon second look, I actually can’t find any confirmed sources saying it couldn’t exceed Mach so it’s probably just a rumor.

Does anyone have an image on how much the f-14 pull is going to be buffed?
More clear F-14A(1998-1999) and F-14B(U), F-14D cockpit photos.
You can see F-14B(U)'s VDI also got replaced.

I saw something that the Iranian F-14 is going to be able to carry more Fakours after the update?
I think I saw that thread as well
But the loadout for the Iranian Tomcat did not change on the dev server I think and it also wasn’t in the datamine
