F-14a iriaf 13.3

prove what exactly

prove WHAT

How do u want me to do that for you

Because its an extremely specific hypothetical that will not happen regularly in air RB and would have to be setup in a custom? If you’re not flying directly at f14 and are already precranked like you should, why WOULDNT you be able to notch in time? You don’t even need a good notch, it cant track cold aspect so just overshoot the notch and chaff

Luck and RNG don’t impact thousands of games. You just perform worse than me despite me using tactics you would claim would be poor.

Your friend, if he’s any good, agrees with what I’m saying.

You are not the arbiter of what is valid. I don’t care if you mute me. In fact, go ahead and do it so when I respond to your forum posts anyway, you don’t pollute the forum with quarter-baked rebuttals

I would point out that in a headon at 10km, he would be dead regardless of what missile it was. R27r, fakour, aim7p, etc.

no, thats still a lot of time to notch

Not sure on that. I dont recall any time where a sub-10km headon was dodged when i fired my r27r. Outside of them htting it with a missile.

prove it can actually acquire a target as fast as u say, bet it can’t (cuz it can’t).

prove u can notch a Fakour-90 at 10km head-on with a Mirage F1CT at Mach 1.3.

mmmm ingame footage ig? idk, u’re the smart guy here, u’re the one who outperforms me in air RB so u should know more than me how to prove it.

how can a situation i experience more than once an “extremely specific hypothetical situation that will not happen regularly in air RB and would have to be setup in a custom”?

probably not, he actually proves things when he says them.

so are u?

I mean, maybe dont be in that situation?

Its like saying the aim9b is op because you cant dodge it when it is fired at you from 1km rear aspect while you are stalling.

At certain situations, you just cant dodge a missile.

just like u do???

something somebody doesn’t know, and instead of actually checking if it’s true, he just says random BS about “it’s possible u just don’t know how to do it”.

Regardless, this is about the br of the jet.

It has 2 things going for it. Fakours and r27r. The rwr and radar are not good, it has limited cm, and a huge heat signiture.

It just cant deal with the ARH meta at the higher brs.

MiG-29N sits at 13.3 with 60CM, 12.7 RWR and radar and it’s good whatsoever.

Doesnt that get 6 r77 with hmd? Plus the mig29 fm

while F-14A IRIAF has 4 Fakour-90 and F-14 FM? yes.
R-77 is useless, maybe the worst Fox-3 ingame, Fakour-90 has even more prob of hitting than that thing. my gameplay with the Su-27SM hasn’t been good even if i do meh on it.

and the MiG-29A’s radar (12.7) is even worse than the one in the Su-27, which is also a bad radar for 13.0 (and that’s why it’s paired with R-27ER), and it’s at 13.3 with it’s mediocre RWR.
i believe the F-14A IRIAF could do good at 13.3, especially knowing the IRIAF’s players and how they play.

F14 fm is not that. It is heavy and take a bit to get up to speed.

Aim54. R77 is good at close range but sucks at long range.

Yeah, russian radars tend to be stuck on that one slow scan mode which makes getting a lock hard. But they do much better at holding the lock.

The only gameplay it would have is firing from 40km+ out and hoping the enemy doesnt know how to play. Any closer and stuff like r77-1 and aim120c will put the f14 into the ground.

Similar reason why the mig25 is not like 11.7. Both jets need alt to work but higher br jets are able to fully counter that.

it sucks most of the time, i had a better experience with R-77-1 doing the same thing i did with R-77 back in time than what i have done with the R-77 nowdays.

what about launching Fakours to multipathers? most Hornets multipath and the explosive mass of the Fakour makes it a very deadly missile even when the enemy is multipathing (no way it doesn’t get damaged by splash damage). that’s what i do with R-77-1s to secure some kills.

I would sure hope you are having a better time with the r77-1 than the r77

Is possible but you need to be at alt for that. When you are up that high, you are a nice target for the top tier ARH

That’s dumb. You should not be going mach 1.3 directly towards an F-14. Learn game sense. Use your radar.Use your RWR. Anticipate. pre-crank. You’re basically telling me to dodge you flicking me in the eyeball instead of me just not letting you get within 1 inch of my eyeball

You’re not making yourself look any better to any outside observers.

because I don’t let that happen to me? It’s extremely easy to avoid. I would have to go far out of my way to have it happen and even then most IRIAF players are launching all of their fakours in BVR and not at 10km

I can prove things too if they aren’t just skill issues that don’t have a direct evidence. I do it regularly.

Never said I was, but you don’t get to say I’m not being valid lol

@ItzMikeyzWRLD-psn
Can I say something?

I reckon Fakour-90 itself is a decent missile ‘for its legacy BR when it was originally introduced’.
AIM-54 with sterioid.
probably better than some ‘short-ranged shit’ such as Darter/Derby?
Still, not compatible with a solid option such as AIM-120 or PL-12.

But F-14A Fuselage limit things off
It seems it is good to punch shits with bad RWR just like how F-14A IRIAF got punched against AIM-120? seems the same bad RWR problem.

It probably could go up to 13.3 if decompression happens and some of the current 12.0 climb up to 12.3BR (With some improvement on loadouts probably)
But not in the current situation of Su-30MK staying at 13.3, and F-15A at 12.7

(140% Joke take: I want to shove it up to 13.3 for nothing but hatred of F-14 series inside WT, while I enjoy F-14 outside of WT, as you know…)

Anyway, I disagree with OP. Even though Fakour has some advantages in some circumstances
Not with the current AIM-9P?

Man, F-14A IRIAF is the strangest shit to balance in this game, IRIAF acts like an upgrade on normie F-14 even on this part ffs. :/

I don’t think she is 12.7BR equivalent such as Harrier GR.7 does, but not good enough to tie them with Su-30MKs.

So better keeping her on 13.0 would be safe move?
