Once some decompression has taken place, some aircraft, including F-14s, should get better IRAAMs.
It is really questionable that F-14B will has same BR with F-16A Block 10 but, has different BR with Block 15 ADF.
and F-16A ADF(AIM-9L+AIM-7F/M) now have same BR with MiG-29G(R-73 + R-27ER/ET) omegalol
should’ve done sooner
I have a suggestion that would resolve this issue.
I recommend that Gaijin should add Iranian F-14A as an Event / Premium aircraft for the USSR tech tree.
I’m quite certain this would quickly lead to it’s proper balancing.
The A went up to 12.7 in sim as well (same BR as the B), which is kinda laughable since the A has worse engines, an RWR that barely works, terrible countermeasure setup, the largest heat signature in-game by a LOT, with only the sun beating it (barely lmao), and rear aspect only fox 2’s…
do you realize that even if the soviets didnt had anything to do with the f14a they can still add it to the ussr tt? specially if they give it r73 and r27s, the british didnt have anything to do with the mig 21 bison or the t90a either and they still get them since it was an old colony, iran being a close allied to russia is more than an enough justification.
R-13M1 and AIM-7E-2 only cause they can’t source AIM-54As.
Gaijins already said the brits are getting some commonwealth stuff because of capability gaps or TT filler. The F-14A doesnt fill a capability gap, and besides 1 picture from sometime in the 1900’s of an R-27 on the F-14A and some claims from the iranians they’ve “integrated russian missiles on the F-14” there is literally NO proof that the F-14 can actually fire any russian missiles.
As has ALREADY been discussed MANY times before, theres actually quite a bit of proof they CANT fire russian missiles, with all pictures of Iranian F-14 in flight with armament using the AIM-9P’s and AIM-7E-2’s that were originally purchased, some pics dating to 2020.
This has literally been talked to death. RU fanboys arent getting an Iranian F-14.
Mythic is correct, F-14A never fired anything other than NATO standard equipment.
It’s likely firing knock-off 9Ls and AIM-7s currently cause they ran out of AIM-54s.
Soviets already have a better F-14A: Mig-29 9.13.
TBH, Iranian F-14A should modeled as IIAF service and go American TT because documents from IRIAF are tainted by a massive amount of propaganda and are not worthy of credibility.
To be fair, They has their own alternative missiles that is worse than the AIM-54A.
Kid:Mom can we have Aim-54?
Mom:No we have Aim-54 at home.
Aim-54 at home be like:
The range should be waaays shorter because Iranian pirated AIM-54(Fakour 90) is just MIM-23 Hawk with AIM-54 control surfaces.
Anyway, it would be a pointless addition for game play.
BTW
Probably the only thing the Fakour 90 has over the AIM-54 is that it does not require the station 3/6 pylon that was essential for the F-14 to use and cool the AIM-54.
is it ARH or SARH?
Iranian media says it is ARH but, it is questionable that if that is reliable information.
I like it when I suggested addition of F-14A to USSR tech tree, some people have immediately jumped to reply.
If F-14A is so bad as you claim in the posts above, why should you care if USSR tech tree gets access to this “bad aircraft”?
And I will have none of “they had nothing to do with it” argument.
There is already a bunch of “minor nations” vehicles that have been added to the game - to nations that have had nothing to do with those vehicles.
I expected that someone would suggest adding Iranian aircraft to the US tech tree.
Like, sure, Iranian F-5s would add something that three other F-5s in the US tech tree don’t. Or Iranian F-4s would definitely be adding something that previous four aircraft did not. Same for adding the third F-14 to them, because they seriously need it.
While you’re at it, you could suggest to add Iranian aircraft to Israeli tech tree, because it would need them more then US tech tree?
But seriously, do you seriously think that players from Iran would like to see their aircraft in the tech tree of a nation that is hostile to their nation?
Given how good relations between Iran and Russia are, you would expect that they would be a far logical choice, don’t you think so?
And unlike US tech tree, those aircraft would be adding something different to the USSR tech tree.
And on that note, you can bet that Russians had access to those Iranian aircraft, and very probably even flew on them on occasions, so it’s not like they have no connection to those aircraft.
Adding another F-4 to the US tech tree would be just useless copy pasta vehicle. Unless its one of those supposedly upgraded Iranian F-4Es with chinese radar/electronics
Also ur a Russian main. If u want the F-14 so bad How about branching out and researching the US tech tree SMHHHHH
My point exactly.
That was just a sarcastic way of saying that adding Iranian aircraft to US tech tree will add nothing new.
