Lower IOG is the only difference besides the paintjob.
So it’s a bit better at hitting targets after seeker lost them? I just wonder if it’s worth 20 kilo of weight per missile over AIM-54A
its not

Roger. I am spading 14B right now, and honestly, people hating on Penixes a bit too much imo. They perform pretty admirably at 30-35km range. Sure, something like 120A is much better at same range, but there isn’t a lot of 13.0 AMRUM carriers with comparable maneuverability or speed. Finding targets with AWG 9 can sometimes be a bit on an ass, but still very workable even in uptiers.
im not 100% sure the C model has better tracking but is heavier and has a lower hit rate for me so i just use the A model
Maybe F-14D (initial operational capability equipment)
F-14B from USA tech tree post bombcat config (1998-2001)
yes the F14S AIM-54 is effective at its tier but only cause people who play that br now are the ones who rocketed in premiums to get there no one whos actually half decent can dodge it with relative ease AIM-54 is the equivalent of a fox-3 sparrow

That’s fair for 95% of the Fox-3s in game, the only real outliers are MICA and, sometimes, Fakour-90
Using the Phoenix missile effectively is 99% luck and 1% skill.

Wouldn’t it be late 2001 to early 2002 (or 2003) as it got LGBs around 2000 and got Jdams late 2001-2002 early?
