In the current meta where the F-14A is the same BR as the F/A-18C early and F-16A OCU and Mig-29 with no aspect missiles versus all aspect missile and IRCCM missiles it make the plane feel well out of place
This is all due to Gajin think the AIM-54s (that don’t work as well anymore) that the F-14A has makes up for the lack of all aspect
its known that GAIJIN hates the tomcat, no aim9l for a and no aim9m for b even though its very well known they used it, they nerfed its missile carrying capabiltys, again for no reason, in my opinion until it gets its missiles it needs to go to 12.0 ish
then push F-18A’s to 12.7(premium ones) and 13.0(TT ones) - no reason for those to be 12.3/12.7 when F-4EJ Kai is 12.3 already
So now the F-15A will be the same BR with AIM-9Ms so when are you giving the F-14 AIM-9Ls gajin
F-4EJ Kai has much better avionics and Aim-9L. F-14A has better FM, they could share the same BR no problem as is.
The phoenix argument has been irrelevant for a very long time, so no point in keeping the F-14A in 12.7
+1, and 9M’s to F-14B
Yeah AIM-9Ms for the B as well as it will be higher br then the F15A and F16 OCU with the same and the same BR as all the non fox 3 flankers with R73
Yep, 13.0 br and no IRCCM just because it has phoenixes is kinda stupid, espacially when at just 0.3 br higher the 2 premium flankers sit with 10 missiles, 4 of which IRCCM.
Yeah all because of a skill check missile the Tomcats are left with loadouts suitable for only 3 years ago
Oh yeah why is the French squadron F16 still 12.7 with 9Ms and Magic 2s
