lol F-14A IRIAF is one of the worse 13.0s in the game.
F90s are not as strong as you make them out to be when the platform is easily worse than an F-16A.
AIM-120s & F-16 > F90s & F-14A.
RWR, radar, TDWR, and in some cases countermeasure count all play significant roles.
F-14A without F90s isn’t even 12.3 equivalent anymore due to F-18A being at that BR.
have u heard about MiG-29N with 12.7 radar and 60CM at 13.3?
Superior TDWR, radar, and potentially RWR.
Identical flight time too, but Mig-29 is closer to twice as fast.
Seconds to mach 1.5, 10,000 meters, 1000 kph from 0.

Bit off-topic-ish, but Probably Still better than AV-8B+ or SHAR FA.2?
It is quite a shame that one of the batshit-insane levels of metabreaker became meh plane.
Compression is a joke, I guess.
No match to Su-30MK series to be 13.3 probably.
more WR, more wins, same performance.
btw i recently climbed even with a F-14A IRIAF in the sky and i killed him without him even noticing my presence.
it depends the IRIAF user, most of them are smart.
thx for remembering what i said.
You’re blatantly lying lol, anybody can see the stats and see what you’re saying is nonsense

How? isn’t that all US pilots are bad at the game? And as far as I can tell, it is on the US tech tree as an event vehicle.
We may be witnessing the heat death of the universe.
just like u and ur blatant lies about things being as u think they’re?
not all american planes are flew by american players, did u think about that?
i love u, Normandy, hope u become the best WT player of all times :)

Interesting. So, moving on, every plane that gets a decent performance will be explanined because it was mostly played by non-american players.
You realize how cynical that sounds to make a point on your case in particular?
“US players are bad, except this annoying X vehicle and its players, those are good.”
F-14A is easily better than the SHAR FA2.
I don’t know about AV-8B+.
Probably, but it’s a more difficult comparison I haven’t thought much on yet.
All I know is I’d prefer to be in Tornado F3 Late than F-14A IRIAF, even if both are probably more equal than one being superior to the other.
F-14A is a long-range BVR bus, while Tornado F3 Late is a longer medium range BVR bus with some boom & zoom capability with 9Ms.
Tornado will also give me detailed radar identities, higher countermeasures, and at minimum an equally good radar [if not better].
But, F-14A is better at dogfighting. ;) For what that’s worth in air RB when F-2A, Su-27, etc are the same BR, and F-15A is a lower BR. Notable F-18s and F-16s are also lower BRs for WVR combat…
So that leaves BVR for F-14A IRIAF and Tornado F3 [with slight boom zoom for Tornado].
And AV-8B+ at least has lower speed maneuvering, but SHAR 2 is just shafted.
Ah, I miss the good old times when F-14A IRIAF finally made a direct nerf of F-14A series when it directly steamrolled the games and stats go brrrr even with ‘bad US pilots + event vehicle’ stereotype combo
First month of F-14A IRIAF was a friggin nightmare, I remember.
Now F-14A IRIAF is powercrept too friggin hard.
True…

it’s fine. It does exactly what its made to do, early game cheesy BVR with fakours then stop existing.
what’s ur excuse for BI players then?
USSR players are known for being the most brainrotted ones and they don’t care about skill cuz “russian bias” exists in their world, however the BI performs extremely well for it’s BR, even could be called OP.
