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?

It can

Got to be below 800kph (I think) and put the AB on.

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
