F-14 Tomcat: History, Performance & Discussion

I think this year a few updates back I think something about it not being realistic

Realism. It’ll be fixed with the F-14D.

Would aim54c eccm sealed be sealed be smokeless?

Fakours are not a waste of time lol. Theyre a menace

Yeah if you just bought a premium and you’re under level 10… The same people who die to Fakours would die to an Aim-54, Aim-120, R-77-1 or even R-27ER. And more than half of those have way better stats than the Fakour.

Yes.

I might’ve found it boys. Facebook is surprisingly a goldmine for high quality Tomcat shots. It’s also a goldmine for rare tomcat shots. I got this picture from there too!

But here’s the huge thing: This is possibly an R-73E mounted to an IRIAF F-14A

If you squint in the middle there (Station 1A), at the very least that’s not an Aim-9P. There’s no way. It’s also next to the Sedjeel in testing on 1B.

It looks like the R-60M seeker with the red ring around the glass.

It was photoshop?

Same photo, just higher quality and less cropped.

You can see the Rollerons on the missile, which the R-73 lacks.

fakour goes mach jeesus and has a massive warhead, if you cant see the value in that im out of words. its not comparable to aim54 in effectiveness.

fakour is like an r27er with steroids in terms of kinematics with lofting but with the worst seekerhead of all time

Fakour is still incredibly easy to defend against speed only matters if the damn thing can actually track/hit the reality of it is you get warned so far out that you can start defending almost immediately
dying to a fakour or even a Aim-54 is entirely a skill issue imo

Ohhhhhh I was looking at the wrong station.

Yeah I just reverse image searched the image Mikey sent and found the one with 9Ps, so I don’t think the original would be carrying R-73s.

darn it. I knew it was too good to be true.

Wait so is it edited or not?

It can still be outpulled and the seeker sucks. The value is sniping base bombers who would’ve died 5 seconds later to their own bomb fuse. If you know it’s coming, you shouldn’t be dying to it.

It also literally is just a faster Aim-54, so yeah, the effectiveness can be compared.

Pretty much yeah.

I mean I like to put it like this the fakour 90 = r27er and the aim54c=aim7m

Seems so.

Every other version I can find has the 9P

I’d pay good money to see the devs play a stock F-14B AND say its good

Getting to the point where I feel I deserve financial compensation for the sheer mental anguish it is causing me
