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

i think it was @BACKRAGE44428-live

cause the ingame fakour 90 is complete BS
it some how pulls 20G while being a larger missile since its according to gaijin from how they modeled it a HAWK Missile with aim54A fins which makes no sense as the hawk missile is like |Length|16 feet 8 inches (5.08 m |Diameter|14.5 inches (370 mm)| while a AIM 54A which btw its been stated to have less range then |Length|12 ft 9+1⁄2 in (3.9 m) Diameter|15 in (380 mm)|
it also uses a R27R1 which is a datalink missile that its radar cant use but ya know the tech tree when it gets its data link missile cant get them cause it cant use them
heres the size of the FAKOUR-90
| Length | 4 m (13 ft) |
|---|---|
| Diameter | 370 mm (15 in) |
heres a photo this is probably more fictcious in my opinion than the F5C

There’s no evidence it’s even getting 6, much less 8 next update. It’s geometrically impossible unless they put weapon pylons where the fuel tanks were to go.
supposedly there adding them to the wing glove pylons according to astro ?
Which would be 6. Not 8.

then its something with just the F14A IRIAF cause the B model can carry six aim 54s same with A
so it was a schizo cope post you did
it was reported over a year ago that the iranian tomcat should be able to carry 6 instead of 4 fakours

Yeah that’s what I’ve been advocating to change for like a year now.

If Iran still had them in considerable quantity i wouldn’t be surprised to see R-73s on it eventually

Given they’re about to get a surplus amount of them with the new SU-35s they’re getting it’s indeed a possibility. But I’ve also heard they’re getting J-10Cs.
Can yall even imagine a PL-15 on a Tomcat? Even PL-12s or the PL-8B. Heck maybe they like their tomcats so much they take some of the manufacturing stuff they get from the Russians and Chinese to make new avionics for them.
