I’ve looked around for a bit too awhile back but All mention of the f14 rwr is an/alr67v
If you are talking about F-14D - yes, that’s why I said that it somewhat makes sense to put it as a 13.3 premium.
I am not talking about more than 6 missiles, I am talking about more than 6 Fox-3s specifically. Tornado has only 4, same goes for F-4F and Harrier. F-16ADF, MiG-29N and SMT, Su-30MK all can only have 6 Fox-3s so they are sitting at 13.3. The ONLY exception to that is F-14 that sits at 12.7 and 13.0 with 6 Phoenixes. Avionics doesn’t really matter that much (it still sometimes does), because aforementioned Su-30 has very lacklustre radar, especially compared to F-16 and MiG-29 but they still share same br.
Tbh I confused about the su27sm/su30mkk/mk2 radar some say it’s good others say it’s bad

In terms of raw stats they are one of the worst radars available at the bracket. But they still work, and, depending on your playstyle you can still use it very effectively. I started with Su-27, so for me it is a usable radar, but for someone who picks it after playing US or any other nation with western radars - it will probably gonna be a very big surprise.
I have the su27sm I went for it after getting everything in the USA tech tree and I will say I was surprised of it performance to me kinda felt like some issue the awg9 has but at the same time I can’t say for sure as I don’t have enough experience in it yet to say for sure on how it performs
And 27SM has the best version of N001 out of the bunch (Su-30MK2 as well iirc). It holds the lock quite well, and has decent detection at long range, but it has slow scan rate, no scan zone options and its horizontal axis is divided in 3 zones and can only switched between them discretely.
Don’t the 27sm and su30mkk/mk2 have the same radar?
I think MKK has a slightly weaker one, but considering overall performance of N001 it is not a giant leap. Average player probably won’t even tell the difference (80km vs 100km of lock range is pretty much meaningless in WT)
Is that a artificial nerf or that’s a irl thing
IRL. N001VEP upgrades included lock range increase, additional DL channel and basic NCTR.
Oh fs
hopefully theres 2 versions as i dont think they would show of 2 of same plane with different skin for no reason other than to show 2

Wasn’t there something like F-14B+ which is just F-14D in everything but name?
yeah but its kinda complicated cause some F14Bs are convereted from A standard so any B could be to D standard its messy
The f14B(u) had a awg9 and the f14D had apg71 and other few things too
So APG-71 was ONLY on D tomcats?
I am just thinking that it could be a way for gaijin to introduce same aircraft both as TT and premium without going into F-4EJ ADTW area

they could IDK F14s are very modular
Yeah apg71 was only a F14D upgrade though the goal was that, to turn F14A/B into the f14D

My bad, I thought it was a PESA
.
Thank you everyone for those streamlined specs and references.
Will definitely help me and others more easily come back to and compare with the in game F-14D :)
