sarcasm, huh?
by the other hand, it can die if the F-14 user launches the Fakour at close range giving the F1CT user not enough time to react since, as somebody here said, Fakour-90 is an actually fast missile (in terms of acceleration).
Not the F-14B.
That is a very good point, I had forgotten about that. Yeah, even with the boatlike handling of the F-1CT, you should still be able to notch any RADAR missile pretty easily with a fully digitial RWR. Not to mention the buckets of countermeasures, so you can just generously throw chaff to help with your notch.
No it can’t, because 1. Fakours have terrible short range performance and can be kinetically defeated here and 2. can still be notched

yes the F-14B. F-14B is fully and I mean fully relying on aim7f/m to get kills which are not adequate at that BR when considering the rest of the mid jet on top of that, phoenixes are garbage/useless and the sidewinders are 9Ls
OK, so, how does this make it different than an ER? With the provisos that the ER has better close range kinematics and is much more difficult to notch?
i climb so i can get stealthy kills with the 530F, something that has been working extremely well for me and idk why people say 530F is a bad missile. i also climb to dive over targets with the Magic 2s and give them more range by flying around Mach 1.2/1.3.
i usually kill F-14s with the 530F since some of them are clueless and are looking for multipathers. other times i kill them with Magic 2 after flying above them and doing a 180º turn to face their rear.
are u ragebaiting? missiles are faster at close range for the obvious reason that they still have fuel for their booster, longer the distance, less the speed they have (drag, air condensation, etc).
not a single F-14A IRIAF player uses Fakour-90 at long range, using them at barely 50km already makes them useless since u have an extremely long period of time to notch it, while all F-14A IRIAF players launch them at “pitbull range” (16km) or less to compensate the fact that the Tomcat has a meh radar.
when did i say it has a difference with the ER?
at 10/20km? not sure about that.
20km is quite literally painlessly easy, 10km is also easy so long as you arent FLYING DIRECTLY HEAD ON INTO THE F14 LIKE A DEER IN HEADLIGHTS. Basically what I’m saying is, please learn to anticipate the enemy’s actions
The flight performance and rwr make it better imo. I cannot stand the hair dryers and useless RWR in the A model. I can face off against IRIAFs by just climbing much better and manually lofting the Phoenixes.
how do u want me to anticipate the movements of a plane i can’t see, it doesn’t need a hard lock on me (which is the only thing that helps me anticipate enemy movements) and which RWR ping is at the same distance as the other 20 pings coming from the same head-on direction?
what do u want me to do at the start of the match? reverse?
Both cannot do anything with sparrows, F-14B cannot do anything with phoenixes, F-14 IRIAF can at least do early game bvr with fakour

- game sense to understand where players will be at what time, learnable skill
- your radar, which will detect them
- the missile will be highlighted the entire time at this range because it will be burning at closer ranges
- planes dont need hard locks to tip off your rwr. You see a F-14 search ping on your 12 o clock guess what he’s planning on doing and probably already doing. Anticipate, react.
Fly at a crank angle and just notch when threats arise? EXTREMELY simple.
the same non-PD radar with slow scanning velocity and limited capability of detecting any target in the required time? even MTI mode takes a long time to acquire a target BARELY near to the ground (300m or more), even ACM/ACM MTI takes around 2/3 seconds to track a target compared to other aircrafts which don’t take any time to track an enemy and get a lock instantly when the ACM gets over the plane.
seeing the missile =/= able of dodging it on time.
u can see an IRCCM missile at 300m cuz it’s still burning it’s booster but that doesn’t mean u have time to dodge it.
so u basically want me to do nothing at the start of the match till all my teammates are used as bait for the F-14s and when they’re out of Fakours then i appear and get the kill or wtf?
I hate Fakours too,
but unless you prioritize Phoenix guidance over survival in an F-14B, I don’t think you’d die that easily…
its an MTI radar
radar isnt this bad, it will detect high flying F-14s at long range even, if f14 is low he also cant fire fakour with any success
It will quite literally be visible from like 20km until it hits you. You can see it. You have time to notch.
Not relevant at all to what we’re talking about.
Let’s put it this way. I out perform you by large margins in air RB. I use these tactics. See the problem with what you’re saying?
MTI only works for multipathers, and even with that it takes a long time to get a target below it.
isn’t this bad, but still certainly inferior to many other radars.
the MF1CT’s radar does the job very well, but it still isn’t competent enough for 13.0.
crew skill only allows u to see it 10km away and with Ace crew.
and u don’t have time to notch when u’re flying over Mach 1 and the Fakour was launched near 10km.
aren’t we talking about visible missiles and how they’re ez to dodge if u can see it?
i see the problem: u’re dumb and don’t understand the situations im mostly on when facing Fakour-90s and how it isn’t that ez to get off that exact situations.
